[quote=LEONARDO,252478]In China, there is a saying that a family is a cell of the whole society. The half centry has saw China's family structure experience a dramatic change. Chinese family structure experienced the transition from ' Extended Family' to 'Nuclear Family' to ' Dink Family'. Three or four generations living under the same roof is the ideal family structure in 1900s-1950s. Extended family structure remained the dominant family structure from the 1970s to mid-1980s. In late 1970s, China carried out its 'Family Planning Policy". 'Nuclear family' taken place of 'Extended family'. Today, more and more "Dink Families" are emerging in this fast-rising country. Do you know what a dink family is? I guess ' dink family' is more familiar to you than me. A family consisting of " One Couple with No Kids" is defined as a " Dink Family". There is a phenomenon in China that many young couple prefer living a life with no kids. The reason might be quite varied. Some elder people said that the young generation of Chinese are trying to avoid responsibility, since bringing up a child needs the couple to shoulder a lot of responsibilities. Some young Chinese insist that they want to live a free life different from the life of their predecessors. Who do you think of this issue? Does 'a dink family' mean that the couple is lack of a sense of responsibility? Would you like to have a 'Dink family"? [/quote]
