    Large oriental school scene. Not to mention the author's position, but to justify the idea that Chinese tradition (not to mention the simple homogeneous imagination) kills women, the logic and details are rigid. A lot of bugs 1. How can these mothers who are either low-level or murderous cross the ocean to become a rich wife in the United States? 2. Is the way to escape from home superstitious? This is too naive to imagine the patriarchal system. 3. The awakening of the mother's independent consciousness has no foundation. Why do these bottom-level mothers suddenly want to rebel. So weird.

    It's the foundation of the Chinese, but it's cooked rice. It is a self-pity of Western values ​​towards Chinese women.
