世纪之交,面对社会的巨大变迁,科学技术的日新月异,人们对未来的畅想和预见太多了,其中包括对现存婚姻家庭制度的评判。一些人断言,到21世纪末,家庭将消失,人类社会将进入一个只有两性之爱,而没有婚姻和家庭的时代。对于今天还生活在千家万户中的人们,这一预言带有巨大的挑战性,是一个引起全社会关注的话题。 At the turn of the century, facing the great changes in society and the ever-changing science and technology, there are too many people’s imagination and foresight to the future, including judgments on the existing system of marriage and family. Some assert that by the end of the 21st century, the family will disappear and human society will enter an era of love only of both sexes, without marriage and family. This prediction, which is still a huge challenge to those who live in every household today, is a topic that has drawn the attention of the whole society.
