1. 求《喜福会》的英文介绍
The film The Joy Luck Club is adapted from a best-seller
written by Amy Tan. The film name, “The Joy Luck Club”
actually is a party's name in this story. This party was started by
four Chinese female immigrations when they came to San
Francisco in 1949. They often get together at this club to share
their happiness and sadness with each other. In this film, the four
mothers and their daughters tell the stories about their past
experience. These interwoven stories present the cultural
misunderstandings between the Chinese immigrant mothers and
their American-raised daughters. The mothers can not accept the
daughters' completely westernized life style. And the daughters
are not satisfied with their Chinese born mothers when their life
was interfered. Though they love each other very much, they
could not remove the emotional barriers easily. The mothers are
eager to dispel the misunderstandings and help their daughters
when they get into trouble. Gradually they find a useful way to
communicate with the daughters. That is to tell their Chinese
stories to the daughters. With the mothers' helps and
encouragements, the daughters are courageous to face the
difficulties and accept the Chinese culture. Eventually, the
Chinese immigrant mothers and the American-raised daughters
understand each other.。

The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, is a story about two
generations of Chinese American women. The first generation
consists of the mothers living in pre-1949 China. These women
are Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St. Clair. They established the Joy Luck Club, which was a small group that
discussed their homeland and troubles, but still enjoying the
delicious food and each other's company. The second generation
of daughters born in America are Jing-mei "June" Woo, Rose Hsu
Jordan, Waverly Jong, and Lena St. Clair. Each chapter is either a
mother or a daughter talking about their experiences of growing
up in either China or America. It is quite obvious that the women
who grew up in China have much different viewpoints on their
lifestyle than their daughters who grew up in America. The
women who grew up in China had suffered great hardships yet
they all took it to heart and kept it within themselves. At that time,
little girls were basically worthless while little boys were prided
upon in China. The book continues on with the stories of these
women's daughters, telling stories of their lives being raised by
mothers who were immigrants, and being integrated into
American society. Chinese mothers try to pass on their values,
ideas, and goal onto the second generation. Great fortune has
come to the members of the Joy Luck Club through their harsh
lives, and they only want their daughters to understand what it
takes to succeed in life. The Joy Luck Club members were all
friends who have formed decent lives for themselves in America.
All of the daughters in this book were raised with high
expectations, even the mothers while they were in China. At times,
these high desires may have done more harms than good,
because this is contrary to an overall idea that girls in China were
not a great gift to their parents. Each member of the Joy Luck
Club was a mother that tries her best to cultivate her daughter in
the way she believes is right. Unfortunately, it works not as good
as they planned. Doubtlessly, these Chinese mothers take great
pride in their traditions and their children. A Chinese mother is not easily pleased. The women of the Joy Luck Club were
competitive amongst each other when it came to their children's
successes, only wanted their own daughters to understand why
they should be respectful of their Chinese culture and grateful for
their American opportunities. Later, another daughter of the Joy
Luck Club, Waverly, disgusted her mother when she decided to
marry a Caucasian man. Clair remembers when her mother kept
having a feeling to rearrange furniture, only to find out she was
pregnant. An-mei Hsu said that no matter how much she raised
her daughter to be more American, the more she became
Chinese, desiring nothing and swallowing other people's pride.
In other hand, Jing-Mei(also called June)'s mother, Suyuan,
wanted her daughter to be a Chinese version of the “perfect
child” during the 1950s. Avoiding trouble is also an instinct for
the Chinese, so mothers warned their daughters repeatedly to
behave themselves, and go forward exactly through the road
chosen by their mothers. She created the Joy Luck Club, hoped
to bring luck to her family and friends and finding joy. She had
