The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, is a story about two generations of Chinese American women. The first generation consists of the mothers living in pre-1949 China. These women are Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St. Clair. They established the Joy Luck Club, which was a small group that discussed their homeland and troubles, but still enjoying the delicious food and each other's company. The second generation of daughters born in America are Jing-mei "June" Woo, Rose Hsu Jordan, Waverly Jong, and Lena St. Clair. Each chapter is either a mother or a daughter talking about their experiences of growing up in either China or America. It is quite obvious that the women who grew up in China have much different viewpoints on their lifestyle than their daughters who grew up in America. The women who grew up in China had suffered great hardships yet they all took it to heart and kept it within themselves. At that time, little girls were basically worthless while little boys were prided upon in China. The book continues on with the stories of these women's daughters, telling stories of their lives being raised by mothers who were immigrants, and being integrated into American society. Chinese mothers try to pass on their values, ideas, and goal onto the second generation. Great fortune has come to the members of the Joy Luck Club through their harsh lives, and they only want their daughters to understand what it takes to succeed in life. The Joy Luck Club members were all friends who have formed decent lives for themselves in America. All of the daughters in this book were raised with high expectations, even the mothers while they were in China. At times, these high desires may have done more harms than good, because this is contrary to an overall idea that girls in China were not a great gift to their parents. Each member of the Joy Luck Club was a mother that tries her best to cultivate her daughter in the way she believes is right. Unfortunately, it works not as good as they planned. Doubtlessly, these Chinese mothers take great pride in their traditions and their children. A Chinese mother is not easily pleased. The women of the Joy Luck Club were competitive amongst each other when it came to their children's successes, only wanted their own daughters to understand why they should be respectful of their Chinese culture and grateful for their American opportunities. Later, another daughter of the Joy Luck Club, Waverly, disgusted her mother when she decided to marry a Caucasian man. Clair remembers when her mother kept having a feeling to rearrange furniture, only to find out she was pregnant. An-mei Hsu said that no matter how much she raised her daughter to be more American, the more she became Chinese, desiring nothing and swallowing other people's pride. In other hand, Jing-Mei(also called June)'s mother, Suyuan, wanted her daughter to be a Chinese version of the “perfect child” during the 1950s. Avoiding trouble is also an instinct for the Chinese, so mothers warned their daughters repeatedly to behave themselves, and go forward exactly through the road chosen by their mothers. She created the Joy Luck Club, hoped to bring luck to her family and friends and finding joy. She had already deceased when the film begins. Jing-Mei (Also called June), takes her mother's place in the Joy Luck Club when her mother dies. Jing-Mei searches for her own identity and lacks confidence. Her mother just won't cease comparing her to other people's children, particularly Lindo's daughter, Waverly. Jing-Mei had always felt uncomfortable with her mother's Chinese lecture ways. She is also used as her mother's replacement in a sense she takes her mother's position in the club. She wanted to be happy so that's what she was going to be. She becomes the victim in the story. Rose Hsu Jordan marries her husband Ted even though her mother tells her not to. She started the club because she does not want to forget her roots, culture and she believes that this club will bring the women happiness in this new strange land. Similar to when Suyuan made the decision that she was not going to be victim during the Japanese invasion when she was a fugitive.In old China, most of the women had no opportunities to choose their husbands. Instead, their parents often planned arranged marriages, even when the girl or boy might only be 6 or 7 years old. They often consulted a local "matchmaker" on the issue of marriage for their children. Some Chinese were very superstitious about things like marriage. Amy Tan was born in Oakland, 。

The first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant things—conflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other. The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, “You can't make me!” Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn't Suyuan's daughter and Suyuan isn't her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan's face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter's innocent words. This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did. I didn't mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don't know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don't know why all their sacrifices to the children can't be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don't know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can't understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear. Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American's individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter. The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn't love. Waverly doesn't understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinks that her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly's winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo's disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating. I am deeply moved by this scene: Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, “You don't know, you don't know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I'm four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you.” And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, “Now, you make me happy.” Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness. Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them. Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same 。

我来：Everyone would like to succeed, everyone to be successful, but not everyone can succeed. Perhaps in our lifetime, there will be many setbacks and failures. But I believe that failure is not a bad thing. Because failure is the key to success. As the proverb says: "failure is the mother of success." As long as we are faced with failure, with 120 distraction, even failure of success. Success belongs to a strong will of the people, the tireless pursuit of a cause of the people.!!!!!~~~~~~~~~。

es after a parable.In 1993, the novel was adapted into a feature film directed by Wayne Wang and starring Ming-Na, Lauren Tom, Tamlyn Tomita, France Nuyen, Rosalind Chao, Kieu Chinh, Tsai Chin, Lisa Lu, and Vivian Wu. The screenplay was written by the author Amy Tan along with Ronald Bass. The novel was also adapted into a play, by Susan Kim, which premiered at Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York.CharactersMothersSuyuan Woo During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Suyuan lives in Kweilin while her husband at the time served as an officer in Chungking (Chongqing). She starts the original Joy Luck Club with her three friends to cope with the war. On the day of the Japanese invasion, Suyuan leaves her house with nothing but a bag of clothes, a bag of food, and her twin baby daughters. During the long journey, Suyuan contracts such severe dysentery that she feels certain she will die. Fearing that a dead mother would doom her babies' chances of rescue, she reluctantly and emotionally leaves her daughters under a barren tree, together with all her belongings, along with a note asking anyone who might find the babies to care for them. Suyuan then departs, expecting to die, but is rescued herself. She later remarries, comes to America, forms a new Joy Luck Club with three other Chinese female immigrants she met at church, and gives birth to another daughter. But her abandonment of the twin girls haunts her for the rest of her life. After many years, Suyuan learns that the twins were adopted, but dies of a brain aneurysm before she can meet them. It is her American-born daughter Jing-mei who fulfills her long-cherished wish of reuniting with her elder twin half-sisters. As Suyuan dies before the novel begins, her history is told by Jing-mei, based on her knowledge of her mother's stories, anecdotes from her father, and what the other members of the Joy Luck Club tell her. An-Mei Hsu An-Mei is raised by her grandparents and other relatives during her early years in Ningbo after her widowed mother shocks the family by becoming a concubine to a middle-aged wealthy man after her first husband's death. This becomes a source of conflict for the young An-Mei, as her aunts and uncles deeply resent her mother for such a dishonorable act, and they try to convince An-Mei that she is not fit to live with her disgraced mother; now forbidden to enter the family home. An-Mei's mother, however, still wishes to be part of her daughter's life. After An-Mei's grandmother died, she lives with her mother in the home of her mother's new husband, Wu-Tsing. An-Mei learns that her mother became Wu-Tsing's concubine through the manipulations of his favorite concubine known as Second Wife, who arranged a plan for An-Mei's mother, still in mourning for her original husband, to be raped by Wu-Tsing. The stigma left An-Mei's mother with no choice but to marry Wu-Tsing and become his new but lowly Fourth Wife. She later lost her baby son to Second Wife, who claimed the boy as her own child to ensure her place in the household. Second Wife also tried to win over An-mei upon her arrival in Wu-Tsing's mansion, giving her a necklace made of "pearls" that her mother later revealed were actually opaque glass orbs by crushing one with her foot. Wu-Tsing is a highly superstitious man, and Second Wife took advantage of this weakness by making false suicide attempts and threatening to haunt him as a ghost if he did not let her have her way. According to Chinese tradition, a person's soul comes back after three days to settle scores with the living. Wu-Tsing, therefore, was afraid to face the ghost of an angry or scorned wife. After Second Wife used a suicide attempt to prevent An-Mei and her mother from getting their own household, An-Mei's mother successfully committed suicide herself. She timed her death so that her soul would be due to return on the first day of the new year, a day when all debts must be settled lest the debtor suffer great misfortune. With this in mind, Wu-Tsing promised to treat his Fourth Wife's c。
