A young man was running along the street in a great hurry. Another man in the street

money, I’m running after the bus. In this way I can save twenty dollars.” “Oh, I see. I’m

When a woman writer first starts writing a story, she often chooses to write about her relationship with her
mother. As a common experience shared by all women, women writers regardless of her class, race, culture and
language all engage themselves in writing about this subject. They do not abandon this topic even after they grow in
their craft. Another reason why they are so enthusiastic about writing this theme is because it is one of their most
personal and intimate relationships which greatly influences their relationships with other people. In their writing about
mother-daughter relationships, they not only express their feelings of joy and happiness but also their fears and anxiety
because not all mothers and daughters experience their relationship in the same way. Some have a peaceful and
enjoyable relationship while others have a difficult and bitter relationship. As mixed feelings do exist between mothers
and daughters, many women writers also attend to the dark side of this relationship. As a result, they often write about
the separation between mothers and daughters if their relationship is hard to resolve. Despite this, a common practice
between women writers is to establish a reconnection between mothers and daughters after settling down their harsh
relationship.
In The Joy Luck Club, a classic fiction about mother-daughter relationships, the Chinese American author, Amy
Tan, writes about her relationship with her mother, who originally came from China. Being an American herself, Tan
cannot totally understand her mother’s Chinese way of thinking. As her mother speaks less fluent English and
sometimes behaves strangely in front of people, Tan feels ashamed of her and even has quarrels with her often. It is
only until her mother dies that Tan begins to realize the truth about her mother. Replacing her mother’s position in the
joy luck club, a group run by her mother and other friends, who Tan call aunts, Tan starts to know more about her
mother’s stories and even discovers that her mother has lost daughters in China. Helping her mother to carry out her
unfulfilled wish, Tan goes on a journey in search of her mother’s lost daughters in China. The story ends by having
Tan reunited with her mother’s lost daughters in China, symbolizing a restoration of her mother-daughter relationship.
The final scene describes a tearful moment when Tan and her half-sisters embrace each other and see their mother’s
reflection shown in the photo they have taken together.
