A very impressive line, when Anuty Anmei saw her daughter sacrifice her self-worth in marriage to please and compromise, she told her about how her mother committed suicide when she was in China because she did not realize her worth. Listening words: I tell you the story because I was raised in Chinese way. I was told to desire nothing , to swallow other people's misery , and to eat my own bitterness. Even though I tought my daughter the opposite , still ,she came up the same way. All of us likes stairs, were stepped after another, going up going down, but always going the same way. Amy Tan used a subtle metaphor to describe how tenacity and restraint in Chinese culture are passed on from generation to generation. Even across the ocean, the daughter who was raised on the other side of the ocean in a completely opposite way of education still inherits her own self-pity.
