ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on informants’ experiences as young adults (18–31 years old, without offspring). Firstly, it analyses the care arrangements which characterise this stage and the intergenerational relations of this group of young adults and their families. Secondly, the concept of family care through family reproduction is developed. Thirdly, the younger generations taking over generational succession and the expectations of these grown-up children as future parents become the focus. Finally, it refers to the multiple positioning of these young adults as individuals and as members of a Qingtianese transnational family and explores the old and new transnational dynamics in which they take part.
