A brief introduction
The Joy Luck Club (1989) is a best-selling novel written by Amy Tan. It focuses on four Chinese American immigrant families 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. There are sixteen chapters divided into four sections, and each woman, both mothers and daughters, (with the exception of one mother, Suyuan Woo, who dies before the novel opens) share stories about their lives in the form of vignettes. Each section comes after a parable. In 1993, the novel was adapted into a feature film directed by Wayne Wang and starring Ming-Na, Lauren Tom, Tamlyn Tomita, France Nuyen, Rosalind Chao, Kieu Chinh, Tsai Chin, Lisa Lu, and Vivian Wu. The screenplay was written by Amy Tan and Ronald Bass.

An-Mei Hsu A member of the Joy Luck Club. Her widowed mother committed suicide due to the heavy torture from Wu-Tsing and his wives. She tried her best to tell her daughter that she was important and her love was good enough. Rose Hsu Jordan Rose was somewhat passive and wa a bit of a perfectionist. She married a doctor, Ted Jordan. After a malpractice suit, Ted had a mid-life crisis and decided to leave Rose. Finally, Rose found her value and fought for possession of the house, which she eventually won.
My Opinion
In fact, the relationships between mother and daughter seem to be quite complex in a family but in the Joy Luck Club, it is perfectly typical for its portrayal of conflicts between the traditional Chinese mothers speaking shabby English and the open wholly Americanized daughters who just wear a Chinese face but speak fluent English . Personally, I think that through the whole novel, the conflicts between mothers and daughters, virtually,is of the cultures between the East and the West. Mothers represent the classic, traditional Chinese culture but the daughters are the symbol of justice, freedom, democracy and modern American one, which are two kinds of contradictory elements. However, through the whole novel, it is easier to find that finally they can understand each other and be in harmony. It illustrates that the cultures of the East and the West can be in harmony with each other too.
