The Chinese concept of family is related to its cultural tradition. A large, harmonious family was once much admired. It was not uncommon for four generations to live under one roof. Because of this tradition, many young people continue to live with their parents after marriage. Today, that tradition is changing.

With the improvement of housing conditions, more and more young couples choose to live apart from their parents. But the bond between them remains strong. Many older people still help look after their grandchildren. Young couples also make time to visit their parents, especially during important holidays such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
