For example, even if no one lives in the ancestral home, they'll still go back during the New Year to put up a "Fu" character and set off some firecrackers.
This is a man's attachment to his roots.
The so-called "traditionalists," perhaps, were just men who had the concept of "settling down and building a career" etched into their very bones.
Their methods might be a bit extreme, but as times changed, they just failed to keep up with modern ways of thinking.
Take Lin Shen, for example. He had no desire to get married at all.
He had already built his career and had plenty of women.
As for a home, wherever his parents were, that was home!
"Time for bed!"
Lin Shen stretched and got up, planning to shower and head to bed.
The weekend was over, and the work week was about to begin!
