When expressions like "spaceman," "wife in America," and "Taiwan independents" (living alone in Taiwan) began to circulate, they were a signal that more and more modern married couples are temporarily living apart--even in two separate countries--in order to pursue "a better tomorrow."
當「太空人」、「內在美」（內人在美國）、「台獨」（在台灣獨自生活），等名詞一一被創造出來時，這個現象透露出的訊息是，愈來愈多的現代夫妻為了追求「更美好的明天」，不得不暫時分離而居，而且是分住在兩個國度。
