So far I read four stories. First, The joy luck club was story about Jing-mei who lost her mother recently. Second, the Scar story about Rose Hsu Jordan also who lost her mother by the family. This two story shows relation between mother and daughter. Most of story are not going good way but they are trying to something better. At the end of story the realized and understand their mother. I think both of stories focused on Chinese people’s hardship at that time. Moreover their endure, effort of overcome hard situation and dream of the America for better life.
Third, The red candle was story of Lindo Jong about Chinese marriage, unfair life and parents. Fourth, The moon lady was story about Ying-Ying who has always trying not being selfish. This two related women’s traditional concept. Follow their parents and mother-in-low, being quiet and not claim their opinion. By the women’s unfair, they tried something for escape unfair life. But they couldn’t escape perfectly. They still have some traditional mind in their deep side of heart. This all of four stories are showing their reaction in hard time in china. Their hope for better life and better life for the children. But I’m wondering about why author used only women character in the story?
