Chinese Families and American Families

1. 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。
2. 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。
    Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be. Most young Chinese parents have only one child, while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have.
    However, unlike the Chinese young people, many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents. They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married. Many of them would almost never live with their parents again. It is a sad thing indeed.
    Things are different in China. Both the young and the old admit the problems between them, but they will try to understand each other. Besides, sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children. So it is still very common in today＇s China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents. However, China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof.
