It is no surprise, therefore, that the dramatic changes experienced by Chinese society over the past century have produced a wide array of new family systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere a widely accepted Confucian-based ideology once offered a standard framework for family life, current ideas offer no such uniformity. Ties of affection rather than duty have become prominent in determining what individuals feel they owe to their spouses, parents, children, and others. Chinese millennials, facing a world of opportunities and, at the same time, feeling a sense of heavy obligation, are reshaping patterns of courtship, marriage, and filiality in ways that were not foreseen by their parents nor by the authorities of the Chinese state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose whose roots are in the countryside but who have left their homes to seek opportunity and adventure in the city face particular pressures—as do the children and elders they have left behind.
