Family is the most important thing for Chinese. That's why many Chinese apply their relatives in China to come to the United States. However, the family of love maybe is not as same deep as in China. For example, I have a very extended family. When someone was injure or had a disease, they would help him/her overcome this situation by many ways in China. In the United States, they didn't care about you or maybe they will care about you when you are dead. When I had a fever in here, the people only care about me are my parents and my brother. The others they didn't care about it. Somehow they hate my parents. This is the "family love" of my paternal side's family. In contrast with my maternal side's family, the people in my maternal side's family members are more important in family love than theirs. Although they all are in China, we have talk to each other by phone and see how their doing in China is. Even though we are not talking to each other face to face, we are more closer than my paternal family's members. On contrarily, even though my paternal family's members all are in the United States, I haven't met them in few months. I think the power of family love is like this picture. Together we make a difference.

There is a difference in some families between how nuclear families and extended families interact. I see it in my family as well.
