Maternal love has no boundaries

This movie is different from what I have seen before. There are eight people, four mothers, and four daughters. Everyone has their own story. There are conflicts and conflicts between each pair of mothers and daughters.

For mothers from China and their daughters who grew up in the United States, communication barriers are the first problem. Although they have lived in the United States for many years, their mothers’ lives are still dominated by Chinese, and their daughters are deeply influenced by Western culture, and even speak Chinese. I don’t understand, and the values ​​of the two countries are very different, so in this case contradictions are easy to arise.

As the saying goes, there is no mother who does not love her children. However, Chinese mothers generally hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. However, in the eyes of American daughters, they pursue their own freedom and development. They do not identify with their mothers, and even for a time It hurts their hearts, but love has no boundaries. Daughters will eventually understand their mother's expectations and mother's love, and they will be touched in contradictions, because love can conquer everything.

The love of Chinese mothers for their daughters may be selfish, but every mother wants their children to live a good life, so they constantly put pressure on their children, and then the children start to resist, and then the conflict intensifies, and they have to admit that maybe This approach is radical, but everything is based on love.

Maternal love comes from the heart and can be experienced. No matter how deep the contradiction is, no matter how conflicting values ​​are, maternal love knows no boundaries.

Thank you for seeing such a good movie

    Many details of the "Chinese movies" made for foreigners are simply not up to standard. But it is not easy to tell the stories of four old Chinese women in 120 minutes.

    It is understandable that this work became popular in the American Empire back then. The original author, Amy Tan, is a second-generation immigrant of Chinese descent. The stories she wrote about the mother’s generation probably originated from the elders’ descriptions of old China. The West's curious imagination of China; and the story of the daughter's generation is based on her personal experience and what she saw and heard when she was growing up.
