These days the very definition of a family is extremely diversified: A single person, or a single-parent household, could both constitute a "family," as could a couple of elderly people back on the farm who wait for their children to come home at the Chinese New Year.
演變至今，家的定義愈趨多元，單身也是家、單親也是家，兩個老人守著農厝等著兒孫逢年過節回來也是家。
