社会学家说,中国正在经历由“熟人社会”到“陌生人社会”的转型过程。传统中国社会的人际关系,是建立在亲缘、地缘基础上的。但是进入现代社会,这个传统正在被打破。那种鸡犬相闻、守望相助的乡村生活的温馨,那种左邻右里、你来我往的大院生活的和睦,正在逐渐成为并不久远但已经逐渐模糊的记忆。 Sociologists say China is experiencing a transition from “acquaintance society” to “stranger society.” The traditional Chinese society’s human relations are based on kinship and geography. But into the modern world, this tradition is being broken. The warmth of country life, the kind of neighbor, the peace you live in the compound I am headed to, is gradually becoming a memorizing memory that has not yet been long ago but has gradually become blurred.
