I will have a daughter in America

no one will despise her

Because she speaks fluent English

She has no worries of food and clothing, no need to endure humiliation

She will understand my pain

I will give her this swan

Remember that sad word

at the age of four

I cried and hugged into your arms

how do i try

can't get your favor

Losing him is no big deal

And you will be cherished by others

I think it's female consciousness

The Awakening of Generations

she'd rather die

give me my soul

make me stronger

Wu Junmei was so charming at the time

Yu Feihong is so young

Mom told me this story

Is there any special meaning?

Because I was born in China

Teach me to learn to endure

endure all suffering

However my daughter

still feeling sorry for myself

repeat the fate

To know your own value

As Cheng Naishan, the translator of the novel "The Joy Luck Club" said after the translation, "The Chinese-style maternal love is even more overwhelming and shocking, and it is a kind of thorough, total, selfless sacrifice, which is very common in each of us in China. Readers have a deep understanding." Chinese-style maternal love, I think it is a rare sacrifice in the world, the reason why they are willing to do this is because their mothers, mothers' mothers, have come here from generation to generation.

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • 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!

  • Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: I'm just sorry that you got stuck with such a loser, that I've always been so disappointing.

    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.
