"Grandpa, how long are you staying" Chang Te-pu observes that with the highly competitive nature of American society, even in a prosperous area like Silicon Valley, many layoffs occur when there is a bad business quarter. And with most daughters-in-law working, the demands of elderly parents can become an unbearable burden for their sons.
「Grandpa，你要住多久？」張德溥觀察，美國社會競爭激烈，縱使矽谷高科技城是美國最富庶的黃金地帶，只要有一季獲利不好，照樣說解雇就解雇，加上媳婦也多數要上班，父母的要求那怕再少，也往往成為兒媳們不可承受之重。
