Four-generation sugar family causes social media fever
Amidst modern life increasingly emphasizing privacy and independence, the four-generation family is still a space that connects many generations, a place where love is nurtured sustainably.
Ms. Pham Hoang Giang's family (27 years old, Hanoi - daughter-in-law in the family) is a typical cross-section of the four-generation field culture tradition, where four generations live together under one roof with 7 members.
Sharing the story of a family of four generations on social networks, Ms. Pham Hoang Giang was surprised to receive many positive feedbacks, with praise and sympathy from the online community.
Ms. Giang said that her luck is that both her paternal and maternal families have a foundation of living together for many generations, so there are many similarities in their way of thinking and living.
From a young age, my maternal family has a tradition of many generations living together, from the generation of elderly people, grandparents, parents and to the generation of children and grandchildren. Thanks to that, the integration into my husband's family takes place naturally and gently," Ms. Giang shared.
As a "middle-age" generation, Ms. Giang also does not face much pressure in harmonizing traditional and modern views, because her grandparents in the family have very open minds.
Being loved and understood by my husband's family, even though I am a daughter-in-law, I always feel like I am at my own maternal grandparents' house," Ms. Giang confided.
Secrets for families of many generations to avoid conflict
For Mr. Pham Danh Hung (31 years old) - husband of Ms. Pham Hoang Giang, the eldest son in the family, what makes him most proud when living in a family of four generations is breaking down the common prejudices about "many people are easily contradictory".
For myself, it is meals with enough generations that bring me a warm feeling, helping me "charge up" my precious spiritual energy after a tiring period of work," Mr. Danh Hung shared.
Living in a multi-generation family also helps Mr. Hung learn to care about other people's emotions, not only thinking about his own comfort but also aiming for common joy.
Mr. Hung said: "If each member knows how to cherish and maintain this lifestyle, it will be a very valuable value for both the elderly and young people.
From the perspective of the elderly, Mrs. Vu Thi Dam - the oldest person in the family - shared that the secret for families of many generations to live harmoniously together lies in the spirit of building, solidarity and joy.
When they see that their children and grandchildren have disagreements, they often give gentle and sincere advice, directing everyone to attachment instead of distance. For me, grandparents must be a role model in their way of life and behavior, so that children and grandchildren can look at and learn from them," Mr. Dam said.
In the family, the greatest value that he wishes to pass on to future generations is the feeling of being one and the same, family always united, children and grandchildren well-behaved, studying properly, and staying away from negative things.
To maintain the family cultural tradition, every weekend the whole extended family gathers around the meal tray, chats, shares difficulties in life, and at the same time consolidates the loving feelings of family members.
