Although our home will be close to grandma's, other relatives rarely move around. Although everyone doesn't live very close, few people will leave if there is no funeral or happy event. The reason for this statement is inseparable from the development of today's society.
In fact, I think this sentence is not particularly accurate. The current trend is more urgent than this proverb. You are just like our family and our uncle's, and your contemporaries are not very close. Not to mention two or three generations, cousins hardly contact each other.
They know my father, but their children have little contact with me, even when they pay a courtesy visit during the Spring Festival every year. Because we seldom meet each other, it may even lead me to confuse who is who.
I think this is a great change that social development has brought to our lives. We always like to contact online. People around you pay little attention. Maybe you have a closer relationship with a net friend on the Internet than with one of your cousins.
Moreover, in the past, our clan concept was greater than the concept of small family, and the whole family was a whole, so the communication between people was relatively close. However, with the continuous development and progress of society, people mostly take small families as a collection, and no matter what happens, they are mostly small families.
Nor can it be said that human feelings are weak, but it can only be said that it is the necessity of social development.
