家道中落 - I undedrstand that on the surface this means for a family to come into bad circumstances. Can it be applied to individuals (i.e. I'm in a bad way)? Or just families?
I'm not sure how this works.
Thank you
If you say "the Chan family 家道中落" , you are describing the family itself
if you say "Mr. Chan 家道中落" , you are actually saying "Mr. Chan (的)家道中落" with the 的 omitted
