"In Aboriginal villages the family unit is everyone, and when children are born everyone is responsible for raising them." Even when parents are absent because they are working elsewhere, have divorced or have passed away, when everybody pitches in to help out, Cheng explains, the children can still have happy, healthy childhoods.
「原住民部落以大家族為單位，孩子生出來本來就是大家一起養，」她表示，即便父母因在外地工作、離婚或過世不在身旁，在大家族合力照顧的情況下，孩子仍舊能快樂、健康的長大。
