Topic > Book Analysis: The Joy Luck Club - 1233

The book I read is “The Joy Luck Club”. It is a novel written by Amy Tan, a Chinese American woman, who wrote the book partly inspired by her relationship with her mother. It traces the stories of four mothers who emigrated from China and their four very Americanized daughters. The main question that emerges from the story is the conflict between these mother-daughter pairs due to cultural differences, language barriers and generation gaps that lead to misunderstandings and communication problems. It also deals with the sacrifices mothers make, the mistakes they make in their lives. Just as they try to pass on to their daughters the love, hope and wisdom resulting from tragic experiences. Overall, the emotional relationship of these four One of the mothers, Suyuan, was forced to abandon her twins during the war at her early age. lives, so he constantly pushed Jing-mei to succeed in piano. But the more Suyuan's expectations and hopes for Jing-mei, the more doubts Jing-mei will have in ignoring her own talents and abilities. The mother "Ying-Ying" was abandoned by her husband and lived for years in great poverty. She then emigrates with her second husband to America, where she is forced to adapt to an even lower standard of living. In comparison, his daughter Lena has led a relatively better life, but still has great difficulty achieving happiness. Lena is a successful architect, but her husband doesn't appreciate her because he is unhappy and is thinking of divorcing. An-mei's mother served as a concubine to a rich man. An-mei later saw her mother commit suicide to allow her to have a bright future. Rose, Although communication problems exist, mothers sacrifice themselves for the love not only of their children, but also of their parents. For example, An-mei's mother cuts a piece of her own flesh to put in her mother's soup, hoping to cure her of her last gasp. In my opinion, I think the four mothers immigrate to America mainly because they have a vision that their children will have a better future in the United States. They hope that their children will live happy and successful lives, able to avoid making the same mistakes they made before. On the side of their daughters, however, many look to their future with apprehension about the decisions that must be made in life. In my opinion, as a daughter, only when I have learned a piece of fundamental wisdom from my mother will I be able to have a more hopeful vision of my future. For example, Jing-mei is finally able to see the true meaning behind her mother's tales and discovers that the stories actually serve as a source of inspiration for her. Therefore, I think that although relationships are weakened and tested repeatedly by cultural, linguistic and generational gaps, mothers' sacrifices of love are proving that this bong is not in danger or in danger.
