review on joy luck club喜福会影评
Review on the Joy Luck Club<The Joy Luck Club> is Amy Tan’s master piece. It achieves great success both in America and China. After reading this book and watching the movie adapted, I have got a deeper understanding of collision between the culture of America and China, as well as the dilemma most ethnic minorities have been trapped in. This article is mainly talking about the deep meaning of culture in the novel.First, let’s make a rough summary of the novel. Four Chinese mothers came to America full of hope expecting to change their and their children’s fate. However, during the process of bringing up their daughters, there were always full of frictions. At last, all the four mothers and daughters sort of came to a compromise.Then I would like to talk about the process and analyze the deep cultural meaning behind it.ⅠFour mothers: representative of Chinese culture In the first part of the novel are the stories of the mothers. All of the four stories happened in China. That is to say the four mothers totally grew up in China. They spoke Chinese, thought everything in Chinese ways,behaved in Chinese ways. Just take two of them as examples.Lindo Jong: child bride.Lindo Jong was taken to the house of her future husband when she was still young. This custom was called tong yang xi in Chinese (I can’t find an approximate word to translate) that existed only in old times of China. She was taught by her mother that she had the responsibility to protect the reputation of the family. This tendency was a tradition of China: mianzi. However, her cleverness and foresight saved her. She managed to get a big sum of money and go to America.Anmei Su: the sacrifice of motherAnmei Su’s story is about the scar. She grew up in a more traditional family. Her mother was excluded for marrying another man as his fourth wife after Anmei’s father’s death. Her mother then chose to committed suicide for her sake. In my opinion, the most obvious Chinese element that Anmei received was the spirit of sacrifice for beloved ones. It was a common characteristic in Chinese culture. Some brief examples: Jingke’s sacrifice for country; the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.ⅡThe collision between mothers and daughters: the collision between the culture of China and America. Greatly against the expectations of making their daughters live a carefree life of four mothers, the frictions between they and their daughters almost left a nap that cannot be narrowed for so many years. There are also two examples.Jing-mei woo and Suyuan Woo: follow or obey.The biggest contradiction between Jing-mei and Suyuan resulted from the piano. The mother made up various plans to make her daughter a miracle at all cost finally choosing the piano plan after watching a programme on TV. However, the daughter was unwilling to play piano anymore after the failure in a show in church. Whether continue to play piano became the main divergence between them. I think that the conversation between the mother and the daughter in that friction was very deepgoing. The mother said that only daughter who followed the mother’s orders could live in the house while the daughter protested that they were in America rather than China. She was not the slave of her mother. This conversation reflects a big contrast between Americanculture and Chinese culture. It is about individualism and traditional Chinese filial duty. And it is also about how to teach children: strictly or not.Waverly Jong and Lindo Jong: whose honorThe rise of the problem between them was due to Waverly’s victory in chess match. Waverly believed that her victory was the result of her own hard work and it had nearly nothing to do with her mother. However, Lindo not only owed Waverly’s success to her assistant but also showed off to others all the time, which directly led to Waverly’s quitting chess. What’s more, this contradiction left a deep influence in the next several years.It is another typical collision between the culture of America and China. In the view of traditional Chinese, daughters kind of belong to their mother. We can say, daughters are part of the possessions of their mother. In America, children are individuals. What they achieve is the result of their own deeds. Besides, another difference is also reflected. Chinese mothers have a special passion for cultivating a so-called successful child. America mothers are not that crazy about their children’s success. What they only want to do is help their children find true themselves,be interested in what they do and be happy with how they live. It was a huge difference both in the past and present. Ⅲ The compromise between mothers and daughters: the mix of the culture of China and America.Luckily, no matter how difficult a problem may seem, there is always a key to it. That is what I am going to talk about. In the end of the story, all the four mothers and daughters finally understood each other and made a compromise in different degrees.Jing-mei Woo and Suyuan Woo：the dream of return. When Suyuan was in China, she had to abandon two twin daughters. The twin girls then became a pity all her life. In her later years, she still dreamed of returning China and finding her lost daughters. After she died, Jing-mei Woo realized the dream of her mother by going to China and finding her sisters with the help of the members in joy luck club. Before that, she firmly believed that she was American instead of Chinese. She had no way to understand her mother and be understood. But when she saw her sisters in China and hugged with them, she suddenly realized that she was also a Chinese inside. When she talked about her mother with her sisters, theinvisible wall between she and her mother crushed down. It was a symbol of the friendly mix of Chinese culture and American culture.Waverly Jong and Lindo Jong: American husband.On the matter of marriage, Waverly showed her Chinese characteristic. Before she got married to Rich, she just couldn’t find a way to tell her mother about it. She didn’t want to annoy her mother. That means she was still not a total American. She cared about the filial duty.What about Lindo? She also made a compromise. Though she preferred a Chinese son-in-law, she accepted Rich. Waverly’s happiness, in fact, was what Lindo cared most.We can say, through this marriage, Waverly and Lindo finally made up and understood each other. The invisible wall between also crushed down.America is country with various nations and cultures. But we cannot deny that white ethnic is the dominative ethnic and European culture is the dominative culture. Therefore, people from other nations are often at a loss where their root is especially the second generation who born in America. The reason why this novel is so popular inAmerica is not only that it reflects this problem but also provides a way to get out of this dilemma. Just like the four mothers and four daughters at last understand each other, various nations with different cultures can find a way of getting along well with each other.。
喜福会 The Joy luck club 剧情和影评(英文)
Plot（情节回顾）在电影开头有一段剧情，就是钢琴回忆那一段，我们在这里简要提一下：在小时候微莉总是下棋冠军而June却在钢琴竞赛中失利。
June以为从此他就不用弹琴了，谁知道。
然后她被迫去弹琴，June提到她希望是那个死去的双胞胎。
这样就好了但是母亲说：It’s too late to change母亲甲（林多阿姨LinDo）1、她五岁那年，在母亲、媒婆和大户人家的共同协商下，订给了这大户人家作媳妇。
她仍跟母亲住在一起，但从此母亲用着「你是别人家的人」来对待她.诸如提醒她：「别吃那么快，人家会不要你！」......处处不忘提醒着，她已不再是母亲家的人。
母亲说，不是不再爱她，只是不敢对已经不属于自己的人有任何奢望。
她越是长成亭亭玉立，母女俩越是经常泪眼婆娑、对看无语。
2、终于，到了她得要离去的日子。
送往婆家的前一天，母亲跟她说：「你耳朵比我大，将来一定比我有福气。
以后不管发生什么事，绝对不要忘了你自己是谁。
」次日清晨，婆家派人来接她。
父母全家行李都打包好了，只等把她送走，便立刻启程南下找生路去。
母亲说：「你已经够幸运的了。
」的意思是:的确，这种穷人家的女儿，多少是根本养不大、或者早就卖掉不知死活了呢！她好歹是跟着母亲，又正正当当被送进婆家的——虽然根本不知道自己到底是嫁给了谁！3、结婚那天，她披着红头纱等丈夫进来。
等待自己的命运的那一刻，她决定一辈子记住母亲跟她说的话：「永远不要忘记自己是谁！」她嫁给了比自己小很多的小男生，结婚当夜就拿蜥蜴吓她，他又正值讨厌女生的年龄，因此不准她睡床上。
但她后来因此糟了殃。
她在婆家的身份地位，是用肚皮里生不生的出儿子来决定的。
她无法让小男生对她有任何欲念，她当然不可能受孕，她因此被婆婆三天两头的打骂。
4、最后，她用了精明的伎俩，让自己脱身。
她无意间听到女仆跟拉车夫的对谈，知道这可怜的女仆从拉车夫受了孕，车夫却抵赖不认。
她便利用婆婆迷信祖宗的弱点，告诉婆婆整桩婚姻都是错的，是媒婆贪钱的结果，祖宗中意的媳妇是那女仆，而且还让她受了传宗接代的种。

The Joy Luck Club.喜福会观后感 英文
The Joy Luck ClubAfter seeing The Joy Luck Club that based on the best selling nove by Amy Tan of the same name,I have many thoughts about love and confilicts between the four daughters and their mothers.The Joy Luck Club is a best-selling novel written by Amy Tan. It focuses on four Chinese American immigrant families in San Francisco who start a club known as "the Joy Luck Club," playing the Chinese game of mahjong for money while feasting on a variety of foods. The book is structured somewhat like a mahjong game, with four parts divided into four sections to create sixteen chapters. The three mothers and four daughters (one mother, Suyuan Woo, dies before the novel opens) share stories about their lives in the form of vignettes. Each part is preceded by a parable relating to the game.The first section, Feathers from a Thousand Li Away, introduces the Joy Luck Club through Jing-Mei Woo, whose late mother Suyuan Woo founded the Joy Luck Club, and focuses on the four mothers. Jing-Mei relates the story of how her mother Suyuan was the wife of an officer in the Kuomingtang during World War II and how she was forced to flee from her home in Kweilin and abandon her twin daughters. Suyuan later found out her first husband died, remarried to Jing-Mei's father, and immigrated to the United States. Her mother and Jing-Mei's father attempted to find Suyuan's daughters, and Jing-Mei's father assumedthat Suyuan had given up hope. Jing-Mei, who has been asked to take her mother's place in the Joy Luck Club, learns from the other mothers that her half-sisters are alive and ask that Jing-Mei tell them about Suyuan's death.The other three mothers relate the stories of their childhood. An-Mei Hsu's story relates how her mother left her family to become the fourth concubine of Wu Tsing , a rich merchant, while An-Mei was raised by her maternal grandmother. Her mother returns only to cut off a piece of her flesh to cook a soup in hopes of healing An-Mei's grandmother, though An-Mei's grandmother still dies. Lindo Jong explains how in childhood she was forced into a loveless marriage and was pressured by her mother-in-law's desire for Lindo to produce grandchildren. Through her own ingenuity, Lindo fabricates a convincing story to annul her marriage and immigrate to the United States. The final story of the first section follows Ying-Ying St. Clair, who tells the story of how she fell into a lake during the Zhongqiujie festival when she was only four. After being rescued by a group of fishermen, she realizes that she is lost. This experience emotionally traumatizes her, and she is dropped at the shore, and wanders into an outdoor performance featuring the Moon Lady, said to grant wishes. But when Ying-Ying approaches the Moon Lady after the play to wish to be returned to her family, she discovers the Moon Lady is played by a man.The second section relates important childhood stories of the Joy Luck Club's American-born daughters. Lindo's daughter Waverly recalls being a national chess champion, but her relationship with her mother is strained by how Lindo pressures her and brags about Waverly's accomplishments. Lena St. Clair, Ying-Ying's daughter, relates her mother's nervous breakdown and her mother is extremely withdrawn to the point where first her father and then Lena winds up being Ying-Ying's voice. In contrast, Lena notices and initially pities neighbouring Sorci family, believing their noisiness is an expression of unhappiness, but realizes later it is how they express their love. An-Mei's daughter, Rose Hsu Jordan, reveals how her mother lost faith in God when Rose's youngest brother, Bing, drowned in a beach outing, after firmly believing that following the book "The Twenty-Six Malignant Gates" could prevent any harm to her children. However, An-Mei still insists that Rose puts faith in her failing marriage. The section concludes with Jing-Mei's story, where she reveals how Suyuan had high expectations that Jing-Mei would be talented like Waverly and tried to shape an uninterested Jing-Mei into a concert pianist, which ended after an embarrassing piano recital. Jing-Mei then tells Suyuan she wishes herself dead like her twin daughters, which set in motion their strained relationship.The Joy Luck Club received many favorable reviews. It was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Award, was a finalist for theNational Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and won the Bay Area Book Reviewers Award for Best Fiction, the Commonwealth Club Gold Award, and the American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults Award. It remained on The New York Times hardcover best-seller list for nine months and sold more than four million copies. It has been translated into twenty-five languages.。

reviewonjoyluckclub喜福会影评
reviewonjoyluckclub喜福会影评Review on the Joy Luck Clubis Amy Tan’s master piece. It achieves great success both in America and China. After reading this book and watching the movie adapted, I have got a deeper understanding of collision between the culture of America and China, as well as the dilemma most ethnic minorities have been trapped in. This article is mainly talking about the deep meaning of culture in the novel.First, let’s make a rough summary of the novel. Four Chinese mothers came to America full of hope expecting to change their and their children’s fate. However, during the process of bringing up their daughters, there were always full of frictions. At last, all the four mothers and daughters sort of came to a compromise.Then I would like to talk about the process and analyze the deep cultural meaning behind it.ⅠFour mothers: representative of Chinese culture In the first part of the novel are the stories of the mothers. All of the four stories happened in China. That is to say the four mothers totally grew up in China. They spoke Chinese, thought everything in Chinese ways,behaved in Chinese ways. Just take two of them as examples.Lindo Jong: child bride.Lindo Jong was taken to the house of her future husband when she was still young. This custom was called tong yang xi in Chinese (I can’t find an approximate word to translate) that existed only in old times of China. She was taught by her mother that she had the responsibility to protect the reputation of the family. This tendency was a tradition of China: mianzi. However, her cleverness and foresight saved her. She managed to get a big sum of money and go to America.Anmei Su: the sacrifice of motherAnmei Su’s story is about the scar. She grew up in a more traditional family. Her mother was excluded for marrying another man as his fourth wife after Anmei’s father’s death. Her mother then chose to committed suicide for her sake. In my opinion, the most obvious Chinese element that Anmei received was the spirit of sacrifice for beloved ones. It was a common characteristic in Chinese culture. Some brief examples: Jingke’s sacrifice for country; the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.ⅡThe collision between mothers and daughters: the collision between the culture of China and America. Greatly against the expectations of making their daughters live a carefree life of four mothers, the frictions between they and their daughters almost left a nap that cannot be narrowed for so many years. There are also two examples.Jing-mei woo and Suyuan Woo: follow or obey.The biggest contradiction between Jing-mei and Suyuan resulted from the piano. The mother made up various plans to make her daughter a miracle at all cost finally choosing the piano plan after watching a programme on TV. However, the daughter was unwilling to play piano anymore after the failure in a show in church. Whether continue to play piano became the main divergence between them. I think that the conversation between the mother and the daughter in that friction was very deepgoing. The mother said that only daughter who followed the mother’s orders could live in the house while the daughter protested that they were in America rather than China. She was not the slave of her mother. This conversation reflects a big contrast between Americanculture and Chinese culture. It is about individualism and traditional Chinese filial duty. And it is also about how to teach children: strictly or not.Waverly Jong and Lindo Jong: whose honorThe rise of the problem between them was due to Waverly’s victory in chess match. Waverly believed that her victory was the result of her own hard work and it had nearly nothing to do with her mother. However, Lindo not only owed Waverly’s success to her assistant but also showed off to others all the time, which directly led to Waverly’s quitting chess. What’s more, this contradiction left a deep influence in the next several years.It is another typical collision between the culture of America and China. In the view of traditional Chinese, daughters kind of belong to their mother. We can say, daughters are part of the possessions of their mother. In America, children are individuals. What they achieve is the result of their own deeds. Besides, another difference is also reflected. Chinese mothers have a special passion for cultivating a so-called successful child. America mothers are not that crazy about their children’s success. What they only want to do is help their children find true themselves,be interested in what they do and be happy with how they live. It was a huge difference both in the past and present. Ⅲ The compromise between mothers and daughters: the mix of the culture of China and America.Luckily, no matter how difficult a problem may seem, there is always a key to it. That is what I am going to talk about. In the end of the story, all the four mothers and daughters finally understood each other and made a compromise in different degrees.Jing-mei Woo and Suyuan Woo：the dream of return. When Suyuan was in China, she had to abandon two twin daughters. The twin girls then became a pity all her life. In her later years, she still dreamed of returning China and finding her lost daughters. After she died, Jing-mei Woo realized the dream of her mother by going to China and finding her sisters with the help of the members in joy luck club. Before that, she firmly believed that she was American instead of Chinese. She had no way to understand her mother and be understood. But when she saw her sisters in China and hugged with them, she suddenly realized that she was also a Chinese inside. When she talked about her mother with her sisters, theinvisible wall between she and her mother crushed down. It was a symbol of the friendly mix of Chinese culture and American culture.Waverly Jong and Lindo Jong: American husband.On the matter of marriage, Waverly showed her Chinese characteristic. Before she got married to Rich, she just couldn’t find a way to tell her mother about it. She didn’t want to annoy her mother. That means she was still not a total American. She cared about the filial duty.What about Lindo? She also made a compromise. Though she preferred a Chinese son-in-law, she accepted Rich. Waverly’s happiness, in fact, was what Lindo cared most.We can say, through this marriage, Waverly and Lindo finally made up and understood each other. The invisible wall between also crushed down.America is country with various nations and cultures. But we cannot deny that white ethnic is the dominative ethnic and European culture is the dominative culture. Therefore, people from other nations are often at a loss where their root is especially the second generation who born in America. The reason why this novel is so popular inAmerica is not only that it reflects this problem but also provides a way to get out of this dilemma. Just like the four mothers and four daughters at last understand each other, various nations with different cultures can find a way of getting along well with each other.。
从《喜福会》看中西家庭文化差异
从《喜福会》看中西家庭文化差异作者：薛惠文姚洪磊于雪丽来源：《青年文学家》2014年第24期摘要：故事片《喜福会》改编自华裔女作家谭恩美的代表作The Joy Luck Club。
谭恩美的生活阅历十分丰富，对人生理解十分深刻。
《喜福会》取材于外婆和母亲的经历，从一个个小故事入手，处处体现着中西文化间的差异。
本文试图从本片入手，探讨四个方面，即传统孝道与个人意志，集体主义与个人主义，贤惠牺牲与独立自主，坦率直接与谦虚委婉。
关键词：《喜福会》；中西家庭；文化差异[中图分类号]： I106 [文献标识码]：A[文章编号]：1002-2139（2014）-24--01一.传统孝道与个人意志这一点在本片开场便有深刻体现。
June的母亲怀揣梦想来到美国，对女儿寄予厚望。
自幼便为女儿请钢琴教师，每天要求她练琴。
但June认为自己并没有音乐天赋并对此十分抵触。
在一次演出失败之后，母女之间的矛盾激化了。
June拒绝练琴，甚至说出“这里不是中国，你不可以要求我做我不愿意做的事情！”而June的母亲态度也十分强硬，“只有两种女儿，孝顺的和不孝的！在这个家里，女儿必须孝顺！”June的母亲从小在中国长大，受中国传统文化的影响，重视孝道，“父母之命不可违”。
而June从小在美国长大，深受美国文化影响，注重个人的权利及人的个性发展。
“孝道”对中国人的影响体现在方方面面，即使在文化融合的当今社会也不例外，喜欢父母喜欢的，做父母要求做的，不然便会被视为不孝。
二.集体主义与个人主义Waverly自幼在国际象棋方面有着惊人的天赋，小小年纪便赢得了大大小小的比赛，被誉为棋王并登上了杂志封面。
Waverly的母亲自然视女儿为骄傲，逢人便夸赞自己的女儿，并把印有女儿照片的杂志拿给大家看。
然而，母亲的行为引起了女儿的反感。
Waverly十分讨厌母亲将自己当成炫耀的资本，并不再下棋以此表示自己的不满。
将这件事情置于中国文化背景下，人们会认为Waverly太过不懂事，不懂妈妈的心。

T h e J o y L u c k C l u b《喜福会》英文观后感(总2页)--本页仅作为文档封面，使用时请直接删除即可----内页可以根据需求调整合适字体及大小--My Appreciation of the Joy Luck ClubThe first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant things—conflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other.The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, “You can’t make me!” Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words.This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did.I did n’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear. Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter.The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinksthat her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating.I am deeply moved by this scene:Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, “You don't know, you don't know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I'm four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you.”And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, “Now, you make me happy.” Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness.Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them.Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shoutat the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness.View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Club may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation.。

The joy luck clubThe film The Joy Luck Club is describes the conflicts between the Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters.The joy luck club is held by Suyuan, Jingmei’s mother, to gather 4 families which immigrated to America in 1949. What is the purpose of holding such a party each week? The answer is to be joyful as the name of party------ the joy luck club. Everyone here tries his or her best to pretend to be happy. But what makes them unhappy? Those pains are caused not only by their lives in old China but also by the misunderstanding of their own America-born daughters. At the club, we can see many conflicts between the mothers and daughters. But why will these conflicts exist？It is all because of the different between Chinese and American culture.1.Chinese Vs. EnglishThe language is the biggest difference between China and the United States . Also, the linguistic barrier exists between each mother and their children . In the film, most language is English. But mothers are often speaks Chinese, too. The children always complains their mothers’ Chinese words, even in playing MaiJiang. Because they don’t know if their mothers are cheating. The language barrier caused the misunderstand between the mothers anddaughters . It shows that there is lack of communication between 2 generations in different culture.2. Criticism and Force Vs. Encouragement and IndependentChinese parents express their love to children through criticism and force. They always like to put theirs hopes on the next generation. On the contrary, the American people show affection through encouragement. And the kids are allowed to do the things they want. They also can choose their own life in the way of they like.For example, Suyuan always compares her daughter Jingmei with Waverly. She always puts out Jingmei’s bad points. Th ese things make jingmei unhappy . And she believes that her mother wants to control her and likes Waverly more than her. In order to show resistance to her mother, she decides not to play the piano that her mother tries her best to let her learn. And even shout out “You can’t make me!” But Suyuan just wants her daughter to became a swan and to be better. It’s a Chinese traditional concept. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding between the mother and daughter.3.Modesty Vs. ConfidenceModesty is a Chinese traditional virtue. Chinese always say what they do is not the best, they can do better. But American is confident. They believe that they can do everything well. In the film,Lindo cook for Waverly’s boyfriend, Rich. When she offer her special dish, she say“This dish not salty enough. No flavor. It's too bad to eat, but please.” Rich taste it and say“It’s not matter.” Then add soy sauce to the dish, say“It’s ok.” It’s Rich’s confidence. He believe he can make the dish delicious. But what he do shows that the dish is really bad. It make Lindo unhappy. After the dinner, Waverly tell Rich“That was our cue to eat some and proclaim it the best she'd ever ma de.” The different attitude to things make the misunderstanding of Lindo and Rich.However, at the end of the film,daughters all became understand of their mothers. It’s also means American culture became undershand Chinese culture. The joy luck club is a link between the two generations. In the party daughters and mothers have meals and communicate together. It is also the link between the east and the west. Mothers show Chinese dishes here and play Chinese traditional game---- maijiang. And all different colors friends gather here. It signs conciliatory of these 2 cultures.。

The Joy Luck ClubThe Joy Luck Club is Amy Tan‟s first book and when it is released ,it enjoyed a good reputation .this book provides a good plat for Americans to learn about an oriental country which is distant from America and lead them to understand their western countries from a different perspective by comparing the culture between china and America,, which accounts for its being so popular.The book mainly tells stories of 4 women and their offspring . Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St. Clair are four mothers from china and "June" Woo, Rose Hsu Jordan, Waverly Jong, and Lena St. Clair. Are their America born daughters.. Suyuan Woo establish the joy luck club and she aims at bringing four people together to play mahjongBefore the four women came to America , they each have their own stories that have life-long influences on them .Suyuan Woo has a husband who was an kuomintang officer. Her husband took her and their two baby twins to Kweilin for their safety when Japan invaded china .however ,she finally had to escape from Kweilin to chunngking. Unfortunately she had a bad attack of malaria .she knew she were likely to die and she hoped that her two babies would be kept by others when she was still alive .so she made a decision to abandon her babies with agony .when she arrived at another continent across the pacific ocean she lost everything except her three silk clothes and a swan feather which symbolized hope and future .Lindo Jong‟s story is not as good as .Suyuan Woo‟s. when Lindo Jong was a little girl ,she was arranged to marry to a boy who she had never met until she lived with him several years later .From then on ,her mother treated her not as her own daughter but as others‟ daughter-in-law so that she could no longer undergo such sorrow and loss .she knew Lindo Jong would leave her sooner or later and she took care of Lindo Jong more carefully .on that day when they depart from each other ,her mother said Lindo Jong would live happier and better than her and Lindo Jong beared it in mind .After her marriage, she suffered enough from her miserable life because of her not being pregnant and finally she came up with a idea to help herself get rid of this family which won herself a ticket to Shanghai ,starting a new and different life.Ying-ying St. Clair, from a rich and powerful family in Wushi began her tragedy with marrying a playboy .her husband had affairs with another woman just after her first baby‟s birth .what was worse, her husband insulted her badly and treated her cruelly .with those hurt, she lived in despair .Afterwards her life in this family ,in the old china ended up with an abortion for revenging her husband. Then she left these sad experiences behind and went to America to escape her past.The last woman, An-mei Hsu, whose mother married a rich businessman in Tientsin as a concubine ,witnessed her mother‟s unlucky life in a prestigious family and her mother‟s death .she went through so many changes happening in her grandma ,mother ,and the conflicts ,puzzles ,fear, and despair .when she hadn‟t grown up ,she might have understand something may not be reached by others in a whole life..All of these four women witnessed or experienced by themselves the tragedy of the old china ,of the traditional women in china . they tried to escape ,fight against ,and search for a new life ,a new world ,in which they can live equally with men ,depend on themselves ,stick to their own values ,choose their own life and master their destiny . America ,a country across pacific ocean different from china ,is the very place for them to bury their past and start a new life. And they had determined to pass their hope to their next generation ,as Suyuan Woo wished ,her daughter could speak perfect American English and she intended to set up a club named the joy luck club to raise money to raise spirits by playing mahjong with other three women . the most important is ,they could forget their roots culture and believe it would bring happiness in this small world built in the joy luck club.In addition to these mothers‟ memories back to their youth, T he book continues on with the stories of these women‟s daughters, telling stories of their lives being raised by mothers who were immigrants, and being integrated into American society. In stead of in china at that time when the girls were considered worthless , boys received enough attraction ,these daughters enjoyed adequate education and concern ,also accompanied by lots of stress and upset which wouldn‟t occur in old china.Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St. Clair were four goodfriends and all of them have had decent lives in this new land . Their daughters were brought up with high expectations and high desire which may have done more harms than good .and in the way their mothers believe is right. To their disappointment ,their daughter did can speak perfect American English as well as drink much coca cola .The members of the joy luck club competed among each other to compare whose daughter is more successful and more clever. Under these circumstances Waverly , who was believed to have talent for chess were humiliated by her mother‟s showing off and the conflicts and gab between them were more and more unrepairable. And .Clair remembers when her mother kept having a feeling to rearrange furniture, only to find out she was pregnant .Rose Hsu Jordan has fallen in love with a successful man and she stoops to her husband ,desiring nothing and gradually losing her identity ,becoming one of Chinese women‟s tragedy .Besides,Jing-Mei strives a lot for her mother---Suyuan‟s high expectation to be a perfect child and Jing-Mei also suffers a lot from her diffidence e and comfortlessness created by her mother‟s constant comparing her to other children. These mothers all arrange for their daughters a shortcut to grow up along the track they have developed .That is the point ,the circumstances and the way they were educated by their mother which adapted from china compels them with various conflicts and contradictions with their mother. These daughters are unable to understand their mother‟s behavior ,their points of view. They think they have taken too much burden from their mothers and the more they love mothers,the more they hate them. Back to these four mothers ,their own mothers were born and living in china for the whole time who were the total victims of the old and miserable times. While Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St. Clair all had chances to leave for America to choose their own life ,a new start. However ,no matter what they do ,they can never be free from the shadow thrown by their past and the roots of Chinese culture have taken deeply in their mind. The way they educate their daughters, the life they arrange for their next generation , the expectations they place on their offspring, all make their daughters misunderstand them and bring some bad and lifelong influence on them. Maybe to some extents , both these mothers and theirdaughters are victims of times and tradition . "June" Woo, Rose Hsu Jordan, Waverly Jong, and Lena St. Clair, these four girls went through unhappy childhood, unfortunate marriage ,they wander in the circle which has puzzled their mothers. Not until their mothers tell their past and show their hardships , anguish to them ,do they figure out what they should do by taking these bygone as a mirror to find back themselves. In the end ,Rose no longer yields to her love and her husband makes up with her again .Lena has determined to break up with her finance and receives true love which can bring real happiness to her. As for June, when her mother, Suyuan died, she takes the place of her to host the club and finally she learns more about her mother, a great Chinese mother, after her father telling her Suyuan‟s true story happening in the past to giver her the swan feather brought from china ,the symbol of hope for Suyuan‟s …dead‟ twin daughters and June rather than expectations.These four women are admirable,because I believe that there is nothing in our life that is worse than breaking our life into pieces However, these four women, even reaching in a continent of almost utter adversity , have strong faith in hope . I am also moved by their deep affection to their daughters which is profound and maybe easily misunderstood only if they keep a distance and then they can perceive and appreciate it . I would like to cite a sentence in the book to bring my passage to end----“The worst possible thing, would one day stop.”基础技能培养Ⅲ姓名：顾静云学号：3101702063班级：英语（师范）1003。
The_Joy_Luck_Club读后感论文
The Book Report of the Joy Luck ClubThe Joy Luck Club，a masterpiece of Amy Tan, was one of the best-sellers in America in 1989;it is Amy Tan's first full-length novel. With The Joy Luck Club coming out, Amy Tan established very important status of literature in modern America. She has many works, such as The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Moon Lady, and so on. The Joy Luck Club, through the distinctive perspective of Chinese people, portrayed relationship between mothers and daughters so delicately and vividly that Amy became a new star in American literary circles. Writing novels, Amy rarely described the direct conflict between characters. Instead of direct conflict, Amy concerned much about the social relations, concluding family relations, sexual relations, and mother-daughter relations.The Joy Luck Club reveals four pieces of mother-daughter relationships. On the eve of liberation, these four mothers immigrate to America. They grow up in China. Each mother has a terrible marriage, so do their daughters. Finally, these daughters get happy endings with their mothers' help.One of these mothers, Suyuan Woo, is the founder of the Joy Luck Club. During war-torn area of China, Suyuan lost her twin daughters. However, she got survived and she gave everything valuable she had. She has strong will. She refuses to focus on her hardship; instead, she struggles to create happiness and success. And she put all her hope on Jun and she wanted Jun to realize all her dreams even though she ever abandoned her twin babies. I was touched by her action and I got to know all the mothers love their children and want to give them best. Maybe they sometimes come up with strict requests; however, they just want us not to make the same or similar mistakes from the bottom of their heart. I first understand my mother and it reminds me of my young age when she told me to study harder and if not, I would only breed the pigs in the future.Another mother, Lindo Jong, at her early age, learns the powers of "invisible strength". She finds these values in China. She had a marriage without love and an indifferent mother-in-law. She lived for bear a child for her husband in others’perspectives. At the beginning, Lindo tries to please her mother-in-law. However, she only finds it doesn't work.By making use of her mother-in-law's fatuity and fear, Lingdo eventually survives herself from the wretched marriage without breaking her parents' promise to her husband's family. She was so clever that she know how to seek for freedom not as the other Chinese women did.And another mother Yingying fell in love with a bad man. Only after married this man, she recognized that she got a terrible marriage and her husband is just a play boy who thought she was just a prostitute all the time. Yingying made up her mind to revenge her husband by killing his son unconsciously. Nevertheless, she forgets that his son is also her son. With her son's death, her soul gone as well. Sometimes she fell into depression alone. I realized the importance of the marriage and Mr. Right for the first time.The other mother, An-mei, knows what is severe love from her grandmother and her mother. An-mei's mother also teaches her to swallow her tears, to hind her pains, and to distrust anyone. But An-mei's mother doesn't hope that her daughter will like her, she sacrifices her life to instruct An-mei to be strong.After reading the whole story, I am impressed deeply by the stories about An-mei Hsu's family, not because she just grow up in her mother’s death, just because her mother know how to protect what she wants with the great courage even using her life. This story’s end surprised me that I thought An-mei’s mother may begin to use her way to fight against the fate she had had now. It is not best way to give her daughter bright future, but it is effective after all. She became the only first wife and her children got superior status in the family. I really admire her courage and feel sorry for her end. Then An-mei became strong from heart and grew quickly in one night.In the half and half, Rose begins her narration by describing the Bible belonging to her mother, An-mei. Although An-mei carried the Bible with great pride for many years, the Bible now serves to fill up one of the kitchen table legs in her apartm ent. Rose sits at her mother’s kitchen table, stares her mother sweeping around the Bible, and wonders how she will reaction when she heard the news that she and her husband, Ted, are getting divorced. Rose knows An-mei will tell her that she must save the marriage, but she also knows that an attempt to do so would be hopeless. Rose remembers when she first began dating Ted. At that time, both An-mei and Mrs. Jordan, Ted’s mother, had been opposed to their relationship. As a result, Rose and Ted clung to one another. Ted made all the decisions, and Rose agreed withhim. However, after they married, Ted lost his confidence and began forcing Rose to make some decisions. He became angry when she resisted, accusing her of shirking responsibility and blame. Soon afterward, Ted asked for a divorce, to Rose’s utter shock. This meditation leads to a narration of another such emotional blow. At Rose's childhood, an event made a difference on her family. One day, they took a trip to the beach; An-mei asked Rose to look after Rose's little brothers. Suddenly, Mark and Luke started a fight, and An-mei called to Rose to separate them. Rose looked up just in time to see Bing fall into the water without leaving a ripple. The family rushed to the water in panic, but the searc h for Bing’s body lasted hours with no success. Refusing to accept their fate, An-mei drove with Rose to the beach early in the morning. Only after she threw a rescue tube into the ocean and saw it sucked away and turned to shreds did An-mei give up her search for Bing. At the time, Rose thought that her mother had yielded to the realization that faith could not change fate. Yet Rose comments that she now realizes “fate is shaped half by expectation, half by inattention”. Just as she believes her inattention caused Bing to drown, she thinks that her inattention to signs of her marriage deteriorating resulted in Ted’s request for a divorce. Rose ends her story on an optimistic note, by emphasizing the “expectation” side of fate.Just as Rose's self-disclosure," When something that violent hits you, you can't help but lose your balance and fall. And after you pick yourself up, you realize you can't trust anybody to save you—not your husband, not your mother, not God. So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again?" That is true. No one will help you when you facing the fate, when you are caught in troubles. Never forget your faith, never betray how you really feel deep down, and never give yourself up, never, never, never. Only in this way could you discover the truth.From the mothers’ story, I can see that Chinese women have perseverance in the blood. They used different ways to pursue their own happiness and they finally crossed the ocean to arrive in American. No matter how they lived with a new life, they all get rid of the constraint in China and they also hoped their daughter can hold their wishes to win the happiness. I’m also glad to see the happy endings of their stories and I understand the difference in Americans and Chinese from all the parts in the daily life and minds.。
The Joy Luck Club——影评
The Joy Luck ClubThe joy luck club describe four family which the mothers came from China when they are young and the daughter were born and grow up in America.Because of the difference of culture,the four family had a lot of conflicts between mothers and daughters.Chinese parents express their love to children through criticism and force.They always like to put theirs hopes on the next generation.On the contrary,the American people show affection through encouragement. And the kids are allowed to do the things they want.They also can choose their own life in the way of they like.For example,Suyuan always compares her daughter Jingmei with Waverly.She always puts out Jingmei’s bad points.These things make jingmei unhappy.And she believes that her mother wants to control her and likes Waverly morethan her. In order to show resistance to her mother, she decides not to play the piano that her mother tries insists to let her learn and she even shouts to her mother.But Suyuan just wants her daughter to became a swan and to be better.It’s a Chinese traditional concept. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding between the mother and daughter.Lindo Jong teaches the power of invisible strength to her daughter Waverly, instilling in her the skills that contribute to Waverly's talent in chess. She fears that in trying to give Waverly American opportunities,she may have undermined her daughter's Chinese identity;Lindo aslo fears that she herself may have become too assimilated.Waverly is the youngest of Lindo and Tin Jong's children. She has always been a model of success, winning chess tournaments as a child and eventually building a lucrative career as an attorney. Jing-mei has always felt a rivalry with her, somewhat imposed by their competitive mothers. Much of Waverly's talent in chess stemmed from her ability to hide her thoughts and channel invisible powers.Women's struggle reflected in the level of the family.To her daughter as a carrier, the result is the growth of the trauma that caused by her daughter, and it will not succeed.The purpose of education is too clear.Her own strong wish imposed daughter.The power is applied to another independent soul.It deprived of education independence soul, and can not achieve their purpose, but so had a deep gap between the mother and daughter in their hearts Education twisted malformed.Weak soul is the real weak. Looking back at his mother when facing social oppression system, in their wisdom they were fighting and successfully fled from there to find freedom for themselves, but the wounds in her heart caused by forced daughter can not find herself. Rose has won a prestigious boys school love family background, but she dropped out of school for one and all for her husband and family, all from her husband's request, until we lose this feeling, to divorce.Finally,In the mother's encouragement, she did not want her husband to tell her own true thoughts. Her awakening of self-consciousness help her husband found her again, finally they reconciled.Another aunt's daughter, and her husband had to be strict AA system life, and this life in dignity eroded her daughter, the mother thought of his life, was whoring slut husband curse, the kind of hurt that she accidentally drowned himself children, life-long unhealed wound, the mother told her daughter that you are worthy of being respected, and left him, and later found the treasure of her daughter who won happiness.As a result, four daughters have made detours, or unhappily married, or living without a purpose.They became "incomplete" people because their personality is incomplete, distorted, have been live for others, or mother, or her husband, but never thought according to their true will to live.Later mothers aware of this damage, due to the high expectations, or affect their personality crippled daughter, they held out his hand to the girls, to encourage them.This mother and daughter relationship, both opposition have harmony. In childhood, the high requirements of the daughters had hurt. Adulthood, the mother also use their own life experience, to untie her locks to help them know themselves, understand themselves, to build confidence. Female and ultimately no opposition, but to become partners, which is toget rid of the weak position of a recipe.Women should know how to self-esteem, the mother told the girls the truth. Self-esteem, but also to be loved and to love.If the "Aphasia" between mothers and daughters is more out differences between the two cultures and collision, then the girls in the face of strong Western cultural offensive show when embarrassment and confusion is reflected in the mainstream culture of "Others "marginalized. We see in the film, although no formal daughters of Chinese tradition, traditional morality, values, and the whole Chinese culture seem distant and diaphragm.However,due to the mother’s words and deeds,monasteries,these traditional or subtly influence their thinking.This is doubly cultural infiltration, with a dual cultural awareness, so when they solve the problem with the American way, the subconscious awareness of Chinese culture will be the role of dual identity is doomed to enable them to seek harmony between the two cultures.。
