Beijing's historic hutong are in danger of disappearing. That's the warning from residents and historians, who have called on authorities to do more to protect this unique part of the capital's culture.

According to regulations, people can report illegal buildings to urban patrol officers, known as chengguan, and buildings found to be illegal will be demolished by force.
However, a China Daily reporter found that it was not an easy task, and lots of additional structures built by their owners were found in hutong. Many owners added a second floor or even more floors to their houses, especially in buildings near main streets, in order to rent more apartments and make more money.
Zhang, the historian, said that to better protect the hutong, the government should offer more compensation to residents willing to move away. Guo Dazhi, a photojournalist in Beijing, lived in a hutong for nearly 30 years before moving to eastern Chaoyang district. Guo hopes that the government can solve the problem by moving residents out of hutong with policies such as public renting programs.

More surprising，perhaps，than the present difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving．As Skolnick notes，Americans are a marrying people：relative to Europeans，more of us marry and we marry at a younger age．Moreover, after a drop in the early l950s，the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing．Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context：some 30 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus，marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family．Twenty five years ago，the typical American family was made up of a husband，a wife，and two or three children. Now there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children．And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's former marriage，or the husband’s，or both．Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage；sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses(配偶)．
Thus，one can find every type of family arrangement．There are marriages without children；Marriages with children from only the present marriage；Marriages with “full time” children from both the present and former marriages；Marriages with “full time” children from the present marriage and “part time”，children from former marriages．There are stepfathers，stepmothers，half brothers, and half sisters．It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are great changes from the traditional nuclear family．But even so，even in the midst of all this，there remains one constant：Most Americans spend most of their adult lives married．
