Maternal love has no boundaries

This movie is different from what I have seen before. There are eight people, four mothers, and four daughters. Everyone has their own story. There are conflicts and conflicts between each pair of mothers and daughters.

For mothers from China and their daughters who grew up in the United States, communication barriers are the first problem. Although they have lived in the United States for many years, their mothers’ lives are still dominated by Chinese, and their daughters are deeply influenced by Western culture, and even speak Chinese. I don’t understand, and the values ​​of the two countries are very different, so in this case contradictions are easy to arise.

As the saying goes, there is no mother who does not love her children. However, Chinese mothers generally hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. However, in the eyes of American daughters, they pursue their own freedom and development. They do not identify with their mothers, and even for a time It hurts their hearts, but love has no boundaries. Daughters will eventually understand their mother's expectations and mother's love, and they will be touched in contradictions, because love can conquer everything.

The love of Chinese mothers for their daughters may be selfish, but every mother wants their children to live a good life, so they constantly put pressure on their children, and then the children start to resist, and then the conflict intensifies, and they have to admit that maybe This approach is radical, but everything is based on love.

Maternal love comes from the heart and can be experienced. No matter how deep the contradiction is, no matter how conflicting values ​​are, maternal love knows no boundaries.

Thank you for seeing such a good movie

  • 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.
