講座摘要：

Since 2005 demographic, economic, and cultural changes in Chinese cities have so increased parental financial and emotional investments in the weddings and marriages of their (usually) single son or daughter that loyalties between parents and adult children frequently trump those between engaged couples or married spouses. Therefore, in contrast to the “triumph of conjugality” that Yan Yuxiang (2003) identified as the dominant trend during the early 1990s, today one observes a re-verticalization of family loyalty where ties between parents and children frequently overwhelm the “horizontal” conjugal desires and priorities of individual brides and grooms.
