　　Recently there has been some heated discussion on the family relationship The issue that families are now not as close as they used to be is a complex one, since it involves a conflict of values. In my view, the final judgment will depended on a combination of two (three) essential aspects.

　　(原因1)Compared with the past, great changes have taken place in the size of a family life. As a result, the young people are more willing to live in their smaller family units rather than sharing the same apartment with the parents. With the time goes by, it is natural that family members are not as closed as they used to be. (原因2)Additionally, the pattern of social production as a whole also undergoes certain dramatic transformation. So the younger generation usually work under such a pressure that they seldom have enough time to stay with their parents. Gradually, The concept of a large family is fading from their minds.
