I hope you take the ardent hope of your family, glide on the wind and dance the most special arc.

They go to great lengths to teach you life lessons, not for you to be another of them, to take over their unfulfilled dreams, to live their ideal life, but to fear that you will repeat the same mistakes. Who did not miss a few steps, you know, when you coincidentally walked into the same fork in the road with your parents, and you walked through it easily under the guidance, their suffering was not in vain.

After all, "The Joy Luck Club" tells not one story, but multiple stories, involving four families and three generations of women. They are kneaded together in the traditional form of mahjong with the most Chinese characteristics, but if you think about it carefully, it actually involves several stories about a dozen women, which can be said to reflect the cultural history of Chinese women for a century. It bears the humiliation and oppression imposed on Chinese women over the years, and reflects the cry and struggle of those women who have been bullied, as well as the extraordinary journey to independence and dignity.

    China travels through white velvety clouds. We live in a tall American apartment and listen to my mother telling us about the past.

The Joy Luck Club quotes

  • Ying Ying: All around this house I see the signs. My daughter looks but she does not see. This is a house that will break into pieces. It's not too late. All my pains, my regrets, I will gather them together. My daughter will hear me calling, even though I've said no words. She will climb the stairs to find me. She will be scared because at first her eyes will see nothing. She will feel in her heart this place where she hides her fears. She will know I am waiting like a tiger in the trees, now ready to leap out and cut her spirit loose.

  • Ying Ying: Losing him does not matter. It is you who will be found - and cherished.
