How does Joy Luck tell this story? When I saw the big group photo, a sense of story and memories of ancient times attracted me. Jun's mother, Su, has always adhered to the habit of holding Joy Luck Clubs, where three or two friends get together to play mahjong, and scoff at the joys and sorrows of life. "The old lady remembers buying a swan at a high price in Shanghai many years ago. 'This beast...' boasted the market goose seller, 'craning her neck in anticipation of turning into a goose. Belly.' Then the woman carried the goose across the ocean and headed to America with great anticipation. During the journey, she told the swan that I would have a daughter like mine in America, where she would not have to rely on her husband's breath. day; no one will look down on her because she will speak fluent English; I want her to be a hundred times better swan than expected. But when she arrived in the new country, immigration officials took her Goose, the woman waved her arms in panic, leaving only a feather as a souvenir. Now, a long time later, the woman wanted to give her daughter this feather, and told her that although the feather was worthless, it came from a far-away country, and has always been Carrying my expectations." A swan? Feather is the thread that runs through the film. The mothers who meet and chat together, these women who came to the United States from traditional China to seek liberation and redemption, each have their own hardships, they It is a generation that pursues liberation and has worked hard to break free from the pain and shackles of old China. But they were still born in the land that grew up in old China, with the imprint of ancient culture and the pain in their hearts. Their daughters were also indirectly affected by this kind of intergenerational trauma. They were torn between traditional Chinese culture and American open culture, and gradually found a cultural identity and reconciliation for their mothers. People draw strength from the ancient spirit and expectations to feed themselves back, and the play ends with a big reunion and a lively and harmonious scene. The swan feathers that Su wanted to leave to her daughter Jun, who passed away, also crossed the sea and returned to China, carrying her long-standing expectations. The sisters hugged and cried, and it ended successfully. I have no intention of discussing the lack of tragic beauty in Chinese culture. The deep sadness and sadness that used to be like crying without tears have been quietly hidden in Chinese culture, struggling to stand up and continue to strive for a better life. What kind of toughness and strength it is. Su's hope for Jun is to be relieved of the pain, and to see the kindness and sensitive and sincere heart inherent in her daughter. An Mei is the gift of soul and the inheritance of strength to Li Na, requiring respect and equality, not forgetting to see her own value, and having the courage to turn away resolutely when she is injured to pursue new happiness. Lindo is a promise to her mother to her daughter. Lindo hopes to be happy. She is under the shackles of obedience and obedience. Break out of a way to go to Shanghai. Under her influence, Wei Li had difficulty gaining recognition and lost her original self-confidence, but her struggle was finally recognized by her mother. The line doesn't feel full enough, perhaps more of a story about commitment and pursuit. Wait for me to brush again) Yingying is tearing Ruth, it is the strength that her mother gave her with blood and tears, let her fight and value her own value, not ignore her own existence, and gain the recognition and appreciation of others. Summary: The last chapter of the past is just a prelude to the present. The reality is not a continuation of history, it is something new to be created, but perhaps we can reach a reconciliation with the past, see the shadows of the past that have remained to this day, accept it and feel it, Let us come out of its shadow and gain its power to better live every moment of this very real moment.

  • Rose: You're not taking my house, you're not taking my daughter, you're not taking any part of me, because you don't know who I am. I died sixty years ago. I ate opium and I died for my daughter's sake. Now get out of my house!
