Novel review—《The Joy Luck Club》

When I read the novel，I was always thinking that what the novel wants to tell us.My answer is “heritage”，by a kind of gene of culture，by describing four mothers’ and their daughters’ stories，which are inundated with generation gap，great differences of civilization between east and west，bad custom of old China，and so on.We can find that almost every story involves a factor—marriage（Does it show that marriage，shares too much proportion of life to Chinese women？），except Su，and almost every marriage has its unfortunate side.But form the bad side，they find who they are，what they really want for life，then just resist the reality no matter it’s women’s low social status of old China，or disagreement due to the difference of culture，bravely.For mothers，they transmit their best hope because of their sorrowful experience when they were young in China.But for a long time，their daughters，however，didn’t understand why their mother were so strict，and couldn’t bear the hope.In view of the culture difference，that is the reason why generation gap grows up.What makes me impressive and surprising is that，the mother An Mei，told her daughter sadly that she chooses a new kind of educational mode in order to prevent her daughter follow her mother’s footsteps，but it doesn’t works.The fact is her daughter，Rose，still inherits some characteristics of traditional Chinese women：She lose herself after her marriage and ignore her value，which nearly destroy her family.It reminds me of the word “gene” just from here，and it is thus clear that it’s not a good thing for giving blindly，to be a real and complete person maybe more cost-effective.It keeps me thinking that what’s the “hope” represents on earth，when June comes back to China to see her sisters and carry to them.Maybe something for life—survival and happiness.Maybe something about custom，culture，or even，ideology.Just like a saying goes，there are one thousand Hamlet in one thousand readers’ eyes.Who knows，except the author.

The Joy Luck Club

I spent nearly a whole afternoon to read “The Joy Luck Club” which I think is a little sorrowful, but very attractive.Through out the story, there are conflicts, hardship, hurts, torture and so on.“The Joy Luck club”tell us the story of four immigrant mothers and their children that were raised in America.The four Chinese women immigrated to America because of their own reason such as escaping from the war, from the unfortunate marriage and so on.From the four mother’s experience of leaving their motherland, there remain a lot of things that desire our thinking.The war made people lose their home and their family.The traditional Chinese feudal ethics forced everyone to follow.So they leave their hometown to pursue freedom and hope.It seemed a new start to settle in America, but their life was still full of conflicts between the old generations and the young generations with different cultural background.Maybe, it was the culture conflict made them quarrel a lot, for they have different sense of value, family background and education.“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me.They have clung to me all my life” written by Abraham Lincoln.Mother love is the most altruistic love in the world.Whatever they do is just to ensure

their children’s bright prospect.In this novel, children didn’t understand their mothers’behaviour.The misunderstanding of love hurt them both.They need more tolerance and understanding in their life.What impressed me most is women’s struggle for gender inequlity, and their seeks for self-confidence.I appreciate this book very much, it tells me a lot of things that I can never learn from text books.

My Reflection of The Joy Luck Club

I wonder that when seeing the name The Joy Luck Club most people would treat it as a story filled with happiness and love.In fact, besides love, it is also about the cultural conflicts between four daughters and their mothers.The film is based on the best seller by Amy Tan of the same name.It shows us the lives of four Chinese women who were immigrants to America during the 1950s.As a mother, each of them has a lot of problems with their daughter because of cultural conflicts.The misunderstanding of love between the mothers and their American-raised daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity touch every audience’s heart.Though I was also attracted by something with extensiveness——I want to talk about some points about the language.I had learnt that what are high context communication and low context communication and what is different between them.The former is one in which most of the information is internalized in a person, while very little in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message——we must guess what the real meaning of the words is;while the other is the opposite.Chinese just the stands for the former and English is the representative of the latter.An interesting scene in the movie just shows us this.When Waverly’s boyfriend Richie had a dinner with Waverly’s big Chinese family for the first time, he made some stupid mistakes.He brought his typical American habit when the they were eating and he couldn’t understand what Lindo(Waverly’s mother)mean when she said “ He has an appetite”.When Lindo brought a dish which she was very proud of, as a Chinese, she still said some formulae that the dish was not salty enough and it was too bad to eat;that suggested that everyone around the table should speak highly of her dish after their first degustation;while Richie didn’t understand that Chinese all like to be modest and he criticized Lindo’s cooking, just saying what he thought in his mind directly.What Richie did led to a very embarrassing atmosphere in the dinner and made Lindo very disappointed and

disgraced.The misunderstanding of a different culture and a different language is the mainly reason causing the awkward occasion.If Richie had known what he had faced with was a group of people with different culture and saying a high context language, and had done some preparation for that different traditional Chinese dinner, he could have avoid to making so many foolish mistake.To understand what a Chinese mean you could not just follow the superficial message transmitted by his words, instead, you should connect those words to his cultural background and the situation you are in.By appreciating the movie we could realize the culture of a people from their language.In this movie the cultural conflicts between the mothers’ traditional Chinese concept and the daughters’ up-to-date American concept are fully described by their dialogues and soliloquies.In conclusion, a language is really the mirror of a culture;and if we want to understand the marrow of a culture we could appreciate its language.

My views on The Joy Luck Club

I'm really touched after watching the movie.I enjoyed it very much and it made me have a deep thinking about women’s rights and their thoughts.The Joy Luck Club is about mothers trying to teach their daughters lessons, but the daughters do not understand.All four mothers went through hardships to learn this lesson when they were young and now they try to teach their daughters the right mix of American culture and Chinese principles.The daughters are unable to understand where their mothers are coming from and they just ignore them.In the movie the mothers can’t express the lessons that they learned as children, to their daughters because they don't understand;however finally they understand.When Lindo was only twelve, she was forced to move in with a neighbor's young son, Huang Tyan-yu, through the machinations of the village matchmaker.After some training for household duties through her in-laws, she and Tyan-yu married when she turned sixteen.She soon realized that her husband was just a little boy at heart and had no sexual interest in her.Lindo began to care for her husband as a brother, but her cruel mother-in-law expected Lindo to produce a grandson.She restricted most of Lindo's daily activities, eventually ordering her to remain on bed rest until she could conceive and deliver a child.However,Ying-Ying’s destiny are not like this.From a young age, Ying-Ying is told by her wealthy and conservative family that Chinese girls should be meek and gentle.This is especially difficult for her, she feels, because she is a Tiger character.She begins to develop a passive personality and repress her feelings as she grows up in Wuxi.Ying-Ying marries a charismatic man named Lin Xiao, not out of love, but

because she believed it was her fate.Her husband is revealed to be abusive and openly has extramarital relationships with other women.When Ying-Ying discovers she is pregnant.She drowned her baby as a revengy to her husband.I was shocked after finish this part.So I serched the internet and found a few

information about marrige in ancient China ,women’s status and divoce in nowadays.In the past, parents arranged marriages were very common.Usually young people would have their spouse decided by their parents.Sometimes young people could only have the first look of their spouse at their wedding.It was also common that

sometimes an arranged marriage could be organized even before the child was born as long as parents from both families agreed.For centuries before the early 1900's, there was a prominent male domination in the country of China.Women were deprived of all rights and were present mainly to serve men.Women served as slaves, concubines, and prostitutes.Marriages were arranged, sometimes preparing a female from infancy to serve her future husband.This can be seen most effectively by the practice of foot binding.Beginning around the eleventh century, foot binding became a tradition.When a girl became three or four years of age her mother would tightly wrap her daughter's feet in bandages with her toes tucked under the soles.On top of this excruciating pain, the bandages would be

tightened each day.If a woman's feet weren't bound she was considered unsuitable for

marriage.In fact, it was preferred that the foot be around 3 inches in length.However,in modern days, things have changed quite a lot.Free love prevails and lovers can choose to get married with whoever they love.Of course, in order to show their respect to their parents, formal agreement has still to be obtained prior to any proper marriage procedure.And there is no foot binding any more.The increasing population of males with white collar jobs and liberal marriage laws have both contributed to the rising divorce rate in China.More mature women in China are turning to dating agencies, looking for new mates, after their husband left them for females ten years younger.On the other hand, more men with high paying jobs find themselves surrounded by young paramours.China's liberal divorce laws have given women a chance to break free from

unhappy marriages or marriages that were arranged by their families.But today, it is often the man who is taking advantage of such laws to leave the marriage, once he finds himself in a comfortable financial situation, for a young lover tucked away somewhere.Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.So,we should still try our best to protect women’s right.

The Joy Luck Club

The Joy Luck Club is one of the my favourite movies, it begins with the main character Ah muir, just returning to the United States from the mainland visit, caught up with a party whose members are all her mother’s lifetime friends and their daughters when mother was still alive.Ah muir is playing mahjong with aunts, sitting in the seat which was her mother’s before.All the four people on the table, with different characters, have their own pains and struggling stories behind.Aunt Lin’s smartness and strongness let herself get rid of the identity as a child bride, striving to today's position;Aunt yingying has unbearable memories in the past, so she hopes her daughter will be bravely being herself;Aunt Anmei was influenced by his mother, knowing to make voices in front of the fate of unfair;While ah muir's mother, because of the war, got apart from her little children accidentally.Four women are all surviving from the poor, getting through trails and tribulations.They don't want their own daughter to repeat their tragedies.But four daughters intangibly went through their life in a very similar way as their mother’s.They couldn’t understand mothers’ hard cares, feeling confused, painful.As they mature, just know their mother's well-meaning.If the mothers in “The joy luck club” represent the traditional Chinese culture, then the group of girls are the representations of modern

American civilization.The attention of author, can say to break the long-standing “center” and “edge” the opposite mode, behind the surface cultural conflict, reaches a deeper cultural identity.America is such a white culture that is dominant, multicultural society, How Chinese immigrants bear the fine tradition of the Chinese culture, and absorb the essence of American culture, so as to construct something that belongs to this group of cultural identity is always the concern of many Chinese writers.Amy tan is one of those observers to the super borders with multicultural insight.Both novel and movie “the joy luck club” ,through the intersection of heterogeneous culture, provide for readers and viewers a net which consists of different nations and the dialogues between different cultures.“The joy luck club "expresses not only the young generation chase for the rootless memory, also is not only the confusion and the struggle of ethnic Chinese that being in such a cultural identity dilemma, but through the expectation of the fusion of two kinds of culture, expressed the Chinese people are reluctant to abandon and hide the Chinese cultural identity in order to servilely cater to the mainstream culture or in order to squeeze into the mainstream American society, nor to stick to Chinese culture to fight against with the wishes of the white mainstream culture.The film conveys one argue that to downplay cultural identity defined, and to eliminate the culture antipathy.So as to achieve the globalization of

multinational culture blend of peaceful coexistence.阿梅,从中国大陆访问,回到美国就赶上了一个政党的成员都是她母亲的一生的朋友和他们的女儿时,她还活着。阿梅阿姨一起打麻将,坐在母亲之前的位置。四人在桌子上,用不同的字符,背后都有自己的痛苦和挣扎的故事。林阿姨做的机灵和俺让她摆脱身份的童养媳,奋斗到今天的位置,阿姨迎迎不堪回首回忆过去,所以她希望她的女儿会勇敢地自己;阿姨Anmei受到母亲的影响,知道让声音在不公平的命运面前,阿梅的母亲,由于战争的原因,除了她的小孩不小心。四个女人都是survivaling从穷人,通过轨迹和磨难。他们不想让自己的女儿重蹈自己的悲剧。

但四个女儿模糊地穿过他们的生活在一个非常相似的方式与他们的母亲。他们不能理解母亲的关心,感觉困惑,痛苦。当他们成熟,只知道她母亲的善意的。

如果母亲在“喜福会”代表了中国传统文化,和该组织的女孩是美国现代文明的表现。作者的关注,可以说打破长期以来的“中心”和“边缘”相反的模式,表面背后的文化冲突,达到更深层次的文化认同。

美国是这样一个白人文化占主导地位,多元文化的社会,中国移民如何承担中华文化的优良传统,并吸收美国文化的精髓,从而建构属于这个群体的文化身份的东西总是许多中国作家的关注。谭恩美是超国界的观察家与多元文化的洞察力。小说和电影,“喜福会”,通过异质文化的交汇,为读者和观众净,由不同的国家,不同的文化之间的对话,空间和时间。“喜福会”不仅表达了年轻一代追求的记忆飘没有根,也不仅是华人的混乱和斗争,在这种文化认同困境,但期望的两种文化的融合,表达了中国人民不愿意放弃和隐藏中国文化认同为了servilely迎合主流文化或以挤进美国主流社会,也不坚持华夏中国的文化来对抗白人主流文化的意愿。这部电影传达了一个认为淡化文化身份的定义,消除文化的反感,从而达到和平共处的全球化跨国文化的融合。
