In contrast, old folk from Taiwan who have emigrated to America seem better able to cast off these traditional conceptions and seek to live independently. Making the most of America's welfare programs for the elderly, they are able to live out happy and comfortable twilight years. Old age is a stage of life that everyone who lives long enough will go through.
反觀在美國的台灣銀髮族卻較能拋棄「養兒防老」的心態追求獨立生活，而能充分利用美國的老人福利政策，讓晚年的日子有著黃昏的恬適舒坦。
