Four pairs of mothers and daughters in the United States often open "The Joy Luck Club" together. They are Wu Suyuan, Gong Linda, Yingying, Xu Anmei from China and their daughters who were born and raised in the United States: Wu Meili, Violi, Lina, and Lu Silk. Among them, the four mothers are all "American mothers", all "immigrant mothers" from China to the United States, and all have "legendary" experiences in China. Wu Suyuan left China and fled to the United States during the Civil War. On the way, she lost a pair of beloved daughters, and she and her current husband have a young daughter, Wu Jingjing; Xu Anmei fled to the United States after witnessing her mother's suicide, and now has daughter Ruth; Gong Linda since She was sold to the Huang family as a child's daughter-in-law, and later unbearably tolerated the Huang family's abuse and fled the Huang family and went to the United States. Now she has a daughter, Violi. The daughters, due to the influence of subjective and objective factors such as themselves, mother, and social environment, they consciously or unconsciously identify with American culture, but they also have their own pains. Finally, Wu Meimei came to China to find her two half-sisters in place of her dead mother. With the encouragement of her mother, Lina finally divorced her husband and reorganized the family. Ruth rose up to resist but saved her marriage.
