June's mother was forced to give up her two daughters during the war, so she pinned all her hopes on June; Yingying married a man who was dazzling, and finally escaped by killing her son. Facing her daughter's marriage, she always Very harsh, because I am afraid that my children will repeat the same mistakes, and teach my daughter to find what she wants in her marriage with a rational engineering man. Lindo is a child bride who relies on her tenacity to control her own destiny in difficult times, so she is always very demanding of her daughter. An Mei's mother was raped and became the fourth wife. Later, she committed suicide to save her daughter, making An Mei realize her own value. When her daughter divorced her husband, she taught her to discover her own value instead of just accommodating others. . After watching this movie, I seem to be able to understand mothers better. They just want their children to be well and stop going down the same path they have gone through. What they have experienced may never be said, but we need to understand To a large extent, it is their experiences that make them demand so much of their daughters. There are always so many contradictions between daughters and mothers in the movie, but I think when we finally know what mothers have gone through, we will find that these contradictions are actually the love of mothers for their daughters.

When I watched the movie, I was very puzzled. I thought it was an American movie with the theme of a Chinese mother and daughter, but it was portrayed so aptly and realistically. When I saw that the director and screenwriter were both Chinese, I realized that it was not made by an American. Otherwise, how could you have such a profound experience of such delicate feelings. But maybe like other comments have said, although the screenwriter and director are both Chinese, they all grew up in the United States, and what happened to the mother's generation in the movie in China is only based on hearsay, speculation and fantasy, which may not reflect at all. Reality, but in any case, the mother-daughter relationship reflected in this film and the final mutual understanding between the two are very real and profound.

    Suyuan: What you mean disappoint? Piano?

    Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: Everything: my grades, my job, not getting married, everything you expected of me.

    Suyuan: Not expect anything! Never expect! Only hope! Only hoping best for you. That's not wrong, to hope.

    Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: No? Well, it hurts, because every time you hoped for something I couldn't deliver, it hurt. It hurt me, Mommy. And no matter what you hope for, I'll never be more than what I am. And you never see that, what I really am.
