Features: In the complex modern society, technology has brought us more convenience, but at the same time, the boundaries between work and family, public and private life have become increasingly blurred. Our work styles, understanding of marriage, communication with each other, and how we define family are all changing. As a result, many fundamental and important aspects of our understanding of "family life" have also changed. With sharp insight, Maggie Jackson discovered that family life has been relegated to a subordinate position compared to work. She brings more and more work home, and as night falls, she no longer cuddles her daughters or shares the little moments of life with them, but instead quickly sends them off to continue working. Moreover, we are increasingly turning work into a substitute for family. Maggie Jackson explores the role of family life. She says, "In the process of exploration, I realized that family life is more important than I imagined. Without family life, it is difficult for us to call ourselves human."
