ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: When two or more ''adult'' generations share the same living unit. The quintessential example of the trope is ''Four Generations Under One Roof'' by Lao She, but many East Asian stories set before the mid-to-late 20th century feature this trope whether they make a point to or not. Very much TruthInTelevision in many cultures, but nowadays often played for comedic effect.

* ''YiYi'' takes place in the present day, but the grandmother lives in the same flat as the next two generations.
* ''{{Tanguy}}'' is about two parents who would like their adult son move the hell out, so they can have their own lives back. He does, eventually, and moves to China, where his in-laws happily take him in.

* ''MomentInPeking'' depicts a traditional multigenerational Chinese family sharing the same compound.
