Using in-depth interview data with Chinese LAT people of different ages, the author explores why they live apart; how they construct and make sense of their everyday family lives and negotiate their gender roles; and how they experience intimacy while being physically apart. This text sheds new insights on non-cohabitating intimate partnerships by bringing together themes of gender, family, intimacy, and relationality. Through looking at people's lived experiences in LAT relationships, it argues that practices of family and intimacy are closely implicated with doing gender, and consequently, that gendered family lives and heterosexuality are reconstructed, rather than deconstructed, in order to reclaim conventional forms of family and gender norms in Chinese social, historical and cultural contexts. This book will be of interest to scholars across Gender and Sexuality Studies as well as Family Studies, in addition to scholars of contemporary Chinese culture and society. 001452174 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 13, 2023). 001452174 650_0 $$aSex role$$zChina. 001452174 650_0 $$aLong-distance relationships$$zChina. 001452174 650_0 $$aInterpersonal relations$$zChina. 001452174 650_0 $$aFamilies$$zChina. 001452174 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001452174 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031172493$$z9783031172496$$w(OCoLC)1342492008 001452174 830_0 $$aGenders and sexualities in the social sciences,$$x2947-8790 001452174 852__ $$bebk 001452174 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-17250-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001452174 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1452174$$pGLOBAL_SET 001452174 980__ $$aBIB 001452174 980__ $$aEBOOK 001452174 982__ $$aEbook 001452174 983__ $$aOnline 001452174 994__ $$a92$$bISE
