Singaporeans live with their parents.But some are moving into theirown places as social norms（规 范）develop.When Alan,a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype（陈 规），decided to move out of his family home in Singapore,it still took the 27-year-old amonth to talk about the topic with his parents.He feared they wouldnt understand.After all,Alans home was a pleasant place.The family three-bedroom condominium（公 寓）wasntfar from the city-states central business district.There was homemade dinner on the tableeach night,and his laundry was always done for him.There wasnt a push factor,just pullfactors,he says.Id lived with my parents my whole life,so I just wanted to experiencewhat its like being by myself you know?”In the West,leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood.Yet in most Asiansocieties,things are different.Culturally,moving out is sometimes considered as showingdisrespect to your parents,which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy.In Singapore,living at home until marriage is a common practice;an estimated 97%of unmarriedindividuals lived with their parents in 2013.While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety（孝 道），ifs alsolinked to government policies on accommodation for young people.Most Singaporeans livein public housing units,apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs.About 90%of those who live in HDBs own their home.Those who cant buy HDBs can rent via the private property market but costs aremuch higher.These cost restrictions,says Dr Chua,a professor of

pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm.Thesecommendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their ownlife is worth it and stepping out of their home.试 卷 第 2 页，共
