family, and love...
||||
What is the definition of family? If the members in a family do not care about each other's feelings, or even hurt each other's feelings, can they still be called a family?
Two strangers were introduced by a matchmaker. They were handsome and
beautiful. They fell in love, got married, and had two lovely children, a boy
ad a girl. They children were well cared for by their grandma, a woman who
could not read but knew far more about life than any educated people.
The children grew up, went to college in the same year in an early month of 1978.
Later on, they had their own families. Each worked hard to raise their own
child, thanks to the one-child policy...
The grandparents got old, and retired one after another. They have decent pensions, and decent health. They are restless, and they want to help their children (or interfere with their children's lives?)... Now, the grandparents get on each other's nerves daily, for little things. They make their children unhappy, and even their grandchildren wonder why old people behave like children.
Is this a unique family, or is it rather common in China?
