...One of the main big ideas in the novel is relationships between mother and daughter. In the novel, all of the main characters are four mothers and four daughters, and in the plot, all of the characters show a relationship and a connection between each other. For example, when Rose Hsu saw her brother, Bing, fell down on a cliff in the beach, her mother, An-mei, punishes her by going back to the beach and finding him. The next day, Rose and An-mei couldn’t find him at the beach, which means that Bing is dead. Then, Rose learns her lesson from her mother which is to have fate in trying everything. An-mei also said, “You must think for yourself, what you must do. If someone tells you, then you are not trying,” (130) and she meant that Rose should...

...A Chinese Life by Li Kunwu and P. Otie is an autobiographical graphic novel based on the experience of the characters in the Cultural Revolution. Li personally went through this whole experience shown in the book as he went through the Cultural Revolution, the Great Leap Forward, the death of Mao Zedong, and the country’s current economic boom. As the novel progresses, the significance of being from China isn’t the same anymore. Li’s father was a member of the Communist Party in Kunming where Li spent his childhood. His family had more money than the other families around him. So when Mao rose in power, he competed with his equals to see who was able to be the best comrade around school. Li finished school and initiated himself into the army. To Li, Mao’s death was devastating and painful, as he quotes, “Chairman Mao…how will I go on…without you?”. The goal of the novel is to show how their leader Mao affected the typical Chinese civilian and how his death affected their lives. For the impression us Westerners have for Mao, it is hard for us to understand the feeling of the Chinese people. People raised their kids to worship Mao at such a young age and based their entire life on his teachings....

...In the Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, a American born daughter of Chinese immigrants, a variety of collisions within Chinese-American cultures is explained. Most significantly the characters of Jing-Mei, representing the Americanized new generation of Chinese culture, and Suyuan, representing the Old Chinese generation, exemplify this throughout the novel. For instance, when Jing-Mei Woo or “June”, the daughter of Suyuan Woo, who founded the Joy Luck Club, is introduced, she represents the Americanized new generation of the Chinese daughters in the story, which can already be inferred because of the Americanization of her name from Jing-Mei to “June”. She struggles with accepting her heritage and -like the other daughters in the novel- is a conformist to American culture and society, trying to abandon Chinese customs and values. While her mother, Suyuan Woo, represents the mothers in the story who are the older Chinese generation with laid back values and expectations trying to ensure an opulent life for their children....

...Question of Hu help us study the past? In this case, they help us gain a better knowledge of the way of life in that century, but we are not taught much about the history of Jesuit recruitment in Asian countries such as China. Jonathan Spence presents a contrast between the European and Asian cultures through a Chinese gatekeeper and local Europeans. We notice a cultural and language barrier between these two groups as Spence clearly provides many examples throughout the text. Since The Question of Hu is a historical fiction novel, there are many factual details that are included to give a better understanding of the time period to assist us in understanding the plot. This book could be read more as a fictional story rather than a historical story. Historical fiction gives us a background for historical events but does not teach us enough about the event itself. It only provides insight for the setting behind each...

...his brother he has still the great choice. He can choose his course and fight it through and win.” -Lee (chapter 24) Lee has a huge role in the novel East of Eden, as he plays the maternal role for the boys, the loyal philosophic friend for Adam, and a major character for the novel. In the Trask house Lee is portrayed as nothing more than a low class servant, but as we look further into the novel we see the impact Lee had on everyone. For example, he was responsible for keeping the Trask family together. His interpretation of timshel, thou mayest, is an evident theme throughout the novel. He believes that one has the right of choosing between the two paths of right and wrong. Throughout, we watch as some characters fall into the path of evil while others take the other route of good. The Trasks grow closer to Lee and it becomes without him the family would crumble apart as he took over the role of father figure. Lee is the most important character of the novel because he serves to embody and epitomize the concept of timshel, bringing it out from each of the other characters. Lee was portrayed as stereotypical Chinese servant, he wore a que, traditional clothing, and spoke with a heavy Chinese accent. He lived in Salinas in about the 1900s. During this time many of the residents were Caucasians so people were not use to Chinese Americans and so he faced endless amounts of racism as he grew up. Lee had an intimate relationship with Samuel Adams and felt he could really open...

...Lee Skinner ( Person # 37646847 ) World Civilization 1 William Newsome Ramya Sreenivasan The Treatment of Confucianism and Daoism The treatment of Confucianism and Daoism are seen abundantly throughout The Chinese Maize Murders. Many social values of Confucianism are portrayed through Judge Dee, the hero of the novel. The novel portrays the Confucians as having rulers with impeccable intellect and knowledge. The Daoist is viewed as people that do not value thought and education,” Knowledge is bad because it creates distinctions.”( Craig textbook, pg 54) This is supported by the Dragon and Worm analogy in the story. The novel ultimately endorses the values of Confucianism. This is exemplified through the main character Judge Dee and is supported by the fact that the three main conflicts of the story are solved by Confucian thinking and reasoning. The relationship between these two philosophies is seen as Confucianism learning from the thoughts of Daoism. Judge Dee is the ideal Confucian. He rules with rich morals and deeply thought out justice. The Confucian idea that the smartest men should rule is shown through Judge Dee. He is a brilliant man that uses his wit and knowledge to solve case after case. He uses violence when he has to but he prefers to outsmart his opposition to resolve conflict, just as the thoughts of Confucianism state. He demonstrates the Confucian ideas of proper conduct, compassion, generosity and righteousness. Throughout the story he holds up to these...

...Many of the traditional traditions and practices of the Chinese people were left behind as Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” was instituted across the country in 1966. During the Cultural Revolution of China, the country and its citizens experienced strict authority control with the military and the state functioning together to govern the people. The switch from traditional China to this Cultural Revolution was swift and hasty, causing much death and trouble for the Chinese people. Because of these facts, there are many people who judged the New China governed under the socialist ideas of Mao. One of these critics is the Chinese-American novelist, Ha Jin, who denounces the Cultural Revolution of China in his novel entitled Waiting. In his novel, Ha Jin addresses and brings to light the affects of Mao’s rule on the Chinese people and the country as a whole. The novel starts in 1966 and takes place during the Cultural Revolution. “Cultural conflict is the center of this novel, where two worlds collide in the story of a man seeking a divorce from his wife by an arranged marriage: the ancient feudal culture of China and the world of the Cultural Revolution led by Chairman Mao” (Moore, 124). Through the locations, settings, and characters, Ha Jin illustrates the differences between the Old China and the New China for his American audience; there are many places and people in “Waiting” that represent these two divergent times in Chinese history. One way in which Ha Jin develops this idea is...

...Buck, who lived in China for almost 40 years, has formed an in-depth understanding of Chinese society and owned a spontaneous emotion toward Chinese people. With a meticulous and direct observation of Chinese farmers, she accurately grasped “earth” as the survival core and cultural root of Chinese farmers. In her masterpiece, The Good Earth, Pearl Buck brings authentic rural life and vivid images of farmer in China to western readers through her unique perspectives. The Good Earth not only changes distorted stereotype Chinese images in the westerners’ mind in 19th century, but also fully demonstrates various Chinese farmer’s characters. This thesis intends to analyze Wang Lung’s behavior and his hidden characters as a typical farmer in China. Through scrutinizing the text content, the author discovers that both merits of traditional Chinese farmer and backward thoughts under the feudal society are embodied in Wang Lung’s character. On the one hand, Wang Lung, industrious and frugal, simple and kind, has a keen attachment to earth. On the other hand, he is feudalistic, timid and conservative with a strong lust to women.
