几千年来，中国哲学一直是中国文化的主要基石，并赋予了世界传统，如道教，阴阳和孝道。虽然这些信念在数千年来一直坚定不移，但它们在未来是否能保持不变仍不确定。随着世界进入21世纪，几个相关的问题出现了：古老的公理，主要是那些关于中国老年人和他们与子女关系的公理，会继续存在吗？当古老的传统信仰与更新的西方思想发生冲突时，哪种思想体系可能是维克托的胜利者？此外，华裔老人对长期照护设施的看法，是否会对传统的家庭单位造成问题？本文将详细讨论这些问题。
Chinese philosophy has been a major cornerstone of Chinese culture for millennia and has bestowed on the world traditions such as Taoism, Yin and Yang, and filial piety. Although these beliefs have remained steadfast over thousands of years, their ability to survive unchanged in the future is uncertain. As the world forges ahead into the 21st century, several pertinent questions arise: Will age-old axioms, primarily those concerning elderly Chinese and their relationship with their children, survive? When ancient, traditional beliefs conflict with newer, Western ideas, which system of thought is likely to be the victor? Moreover, will elderly Chinese Americans and their perceptions concerning long-term care facilities cause problems with the traditional familial unit? This article will discuss these issues in detail.
