Abstract Migrating families are a new family model formed in the context of population movement during the social transition period. They fall in between stem families and nuclear families, and can be divided into five types of child care, illness recovery, old-age provision, marriage urgers, and career support. The case study of Guiyang shows that in terms of family structure, the family members of migrating families are mobile and separated, the family relations are diversified, and the family boundaries are multi-faceted. In terms of financial strategy, the income of migrating families comes from a variety of sources, financially, parents and the offspring are mostly independent from each other, but not otherwise, and the property rights are concentrated in the hands of the offspring. In residential arrangement, parents and the offspring tend to live together. The intergenerational relations of immigrating families are caught in a dilemma: They are physically close but emotionally detached. The conflict between the need for intimate relationship and the family’s actual demand, the filial obligations of the son and the rationality of the daughter-in-law, the authority of the elderly and the autonomy of the young, cannot often be resolved in such families. Immigrating families conform to the logics of instrumental rationality and value rationality in practice. The game and dynamic balance of the two constitute the practical basis of immigrating families.
