What makes a family?
Western families can be just as big as Chinese ones
Do you live with your grandparents or great-grandparents? Recently, a video challenge (挑战) called “four generations” has become popular online. It shows the structure (结构) of a Chinese family—from young children to great-grandparents.
In these videos, a little boy or girl calls for their mother or father. The parent smiles and calls for the grandparent. Finally, the grandparent calls for the great-grandparent! These videos show how much Chinese people love their family.
In many Chinese families, several generations live together. This is called an extended family (大家庭). Usually it is “four-two-one”— four grandparents, two parents, one child.
This family structure has both good and bad sides. When parents are busy with work, grandparents can help take care of the children. According to the Atlantic magazine (杂志), 90 percent of children in Shanghai and 70 percent of children in Beijing grow up with the care of grandparents.
But some people say grandparents love their grandchildren too much and let them eat too much. Arguments (争吵) may happen among family members of different ages.
Life can be both sweet and bitter (苦的). Family life is no different. But the most important thing to remember is that family is all about love.

sin x = 0 ←→ arcsin x = 0
sin x = 1/2 ←→ arcsin x = π/6
sin x = √2/2 ←→ arcsin x = π/4
sin x = 1 ←→ arcsin x = π/2
