A story of four mothers and their daughters. The mother grew up in China and immigrated to the United States, and the daughter grew up in the United States. Mothers have had their own misfortunes. Due to the war, he was forced to give up his children, the unfortunate husband found the mistress to be too sad and the child drowned, and the mother was raped as the fourth concubine to commit suicide to strengthen herself. She was forced to marry someone she had never met and escaped control by herself. These have brought them endless pain. It can be seen that the feudal ideology at that time poisoned women. Even his own mother didn't believe that he was raped and ridiculed by everyone. Marrying a person who doesn't understand at all, was beaten and scolded for not being able to reproduce. The woman has become a tool, a reproductive machine, she is no longer herself. And these injuries not only affected them, but also the way they treated their daughters. I feel that I can't do anything well and can't satisfy my mother. After marriage, I lost my humble love for my husband. After marriage, my love is too equal. Everything is aa. of. Their daughter is also troubled by various things. And how does the mother do it? Tell her daughter that she has a kind quality that no one can match. She has her own style, so that her daughter understands her value and what she really wants. Maybe it's a mother's love. The pain I've been through can no longer be experienced by the next generation of my own.
