Only two decades ago in China, cohabitation was regarded as a corrupt and decadent Western lifestyle, and the adjective "illegal" accompanied any mention of it.

在20年前的中國,“同居”還被認為是一種腐化墮落的西方生活方式。人們提起它時，總會在前面加上“非法”一詞。

It couldn’t be more different now: Only about 3 percent polled are opposed to couples living together with a vast majority taking a very lenient attitude.

但如今可大不一樣了。調查顯示，僅有約3%的人反對同居，絕大多數人對此持十分寬容的態度。
