24、There are some popular family videos that are being posted on Chinese social media these days. Living in a multi-generation family can be both enjoyable and annoying. Last week, our magazine interviewed a few teenagers who live with their grandparents. Let’s see how they feel about living in a big family.

Wen Jiayi, 14, Chengdu

Living with my parents helps me have a better understanding of the meaning of “family”. The time I spend with my grandparents is longer than the time I spend with my parents. We have fun together. We go on walks, chat while having lunch and watch TV. My grandfather is our family’s cook. I often help him buy vegetables for our dishes.

Liu Haoxuan, 13, Beijing

Most of the time, I enjoy living with my grandparents. I think they’re cute. But sometimes I also feel annoyed. They look at new things with an old-fashioned view and try to make me believe that some things are unacceptable（不可接受的）. I guess this is called the “generation gap”.

Zheng Yishi, 16, Ohio

I am very close to my grandparents, as well as to most of my other relatives. Most of my American friends don’t have such close family relations as Chinese people do. Although I do know that some Italian-Americans have big families, all of the members of an Italian family might live on the same street. It seems that different cultures have different family traditions that they keep even after moving to another country.
