...“Scar” An -mei Hsu “That is the way it is with a wound. The wound begins to close in on itself, to protect what is hurting so much. And once it is closed, you no longer see what is underneath, what started the pain” (Tan 40). An-mei’s mother comes to visit the family after hearing that Popo is unwell. While she is there, An-mei’s mother spends some time with her daughter. She brushes An-mei’s hair, and subtly runs a finger across a scar under An-mei’s chin. This triggers her to recall a memory of her mother. She remembers her mother coming to visit. The room erupts into chaos when the family spots An-mei’s mother. In all the pandemonium, a large pot of soup falls over An-mei and scorches her neck. This leaves a wound which then turns into...

...Jonathan Perez Chinese Literature December 8, 2010 The Plum in the Golden Vase On a cold winter day, P’an Chin-lien anxiously awaits for her brother-in-law, Wu Song, inside the hanging blind at the door. As Wu Song nears the home, Chin-lien becomes aware that her wretched, dwarf husband could never be related to such an astounding and highly esteemed man. He was everything opposite of the dwarf. She entices him to drink warm wine and to sit himself by the fire. Chin-lien did not seem like she wanted to conceal her true intentions towards Wu Song and continued her seduction. The Plum in the Golden Vase (Chin P’ing Mei) accurately portrays a shift in the role of women in traditional Chinese fiction. Traditionally, women in Chinese culture were mere daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. They were expected to serve their fathers during their childhood and serve their husbands in their married life. Through the depiction of P’an Chin-lien and other characters from The Plum in the Golden Vase, the author (The Scoffing Scholar of Lanling) addresses the changes of gender roles. The Scoffing Scholar illustrates how women used seduction to emerge as individuals with decision-making abilities, manipulating behaviors, and sexual prowess. From his youth, Wu Song became an expert with the spear and quarterstaff and therefore feared nothing. It was of no surprise that while traveling though Ching-yang Ridge he kills the tiger with his bare...

...Cal.Fam.Code § 3011(a). Mei ling will argue, by Robert sleeping with a knife by his side, he is an unsafe parent because he has the possibility of injuring Rose. Rose is two years old, so she can easily pick up the knife while Robert is sleeping and hurt herself. Mei ling can also argue that Robert’s paranoia–while on drugs–is also an unsafe environment for Rose because Robert will not be in the right mindset to take of a child when he is hallucinating on drugs. Meiling can also argue, Robert smoking methamphetamine in their home shows an unsafe environment for Rose because exposure to the chemicals in methamphetamine can be harmful to Rose’s health. On the other hand, Robert will argue that Rose cannot provide a safe environment for Rose. Mei Ling having a domestic violence conviction shows she will not be able to provide a safe environment because she displays violent tendencies. Robert will also argue Meling scratching him proves Rose will not be able to provide a safe environment for Rose because she sometimes initiates violence. Even though Mei Ling was convicted of domestic violence, Mei Ling will be able to provide a safer environment for...

...It is known that a mother would do anything within her power to protect her child. It is exceptionally difficult when the mother is what the child needs protection from.In the exerpt “The Violin” by Amy Chua and “Jing-Mei Woo: Two Kinds” by Amy Tan both portray mother-daughter relationships “the chinese way”. In “The Violin”, by Amy Chua, also from the point of view of Amy Chua, she is stressing to perfect her daughter’s every move.”I’m not thinking anything,”’ I said indignantly. Actually, I’d been thinking that Lulu’s right elbow was too high, that her dynamics were all wrong, and that she needed to shape her phases better (Chua 47-48).” Amy Chua was presented on the fact that she could not perfect Lulu and Lulu would have to figure it out...

...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....

...Kinds”. Jing Mei’s mother only wanted to push Jing Mei to succeed only because she didn’t want her to have to go through all she had been through in her early years. “America was where all my mother's hopes lay” suggested her mother has already lost everything and was desperately hoping to create a better life in America for Jing Mei. Throughout the story Jing Mei’s mother pushed Jing Mei to be the best she can be and explained to her that there are only two kinds of daughters, “Those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind.” In the first part of the story, Jing Mei’s mother pushes her to become a child prodigy, a genius and famous. Jing Mei has internal conflicts with herself because she only wants to be herself. What she doesn’t realize is she can be herself while becoming the things her mother is trying to push her to be. Since Jing Mei’s mother doesn’t yet know that Jing Mei will soon start to rebel, her mother seems to push harder and harder. With Jing Mei’s mother desperately trying to live up to the “American Dream”, she buys Jing Mei a piano. The piano plays a substantial role in the story. It seems as if the piano represents what her mother wants for Jing Mei. However, Jing Mei does not want these things for herself. Some may think that the mother is trying to live her life through Jing Mei, but overall it seems that Jing Mei’s mother only wanted Jing Mei to live the American dream. The song Jing Mei performed came unnoticed by her until after her mother...

... “ Red Cranes” the main character, Mei is very different from Sachiko, who is the main character in the text, “The Firefly Hunt,” by Mr. Tanizaki. The way the two characters interact with society is completely different from each other. This is may be caused by many reasons. This could be due to the location and setting at which the passages take place. Mei and Sachiko interact with others in both their text. The way they do interact with others though, don’t show a lot of similarities. In the text, “The Firefly Hunt,” Sachiko is able to leave her house and go catch fireflies with others. Sachiko even mentions, “She knew, though, that the firefly hunt would be pleasant to remember” (Tanizaki 1). Although this proves that Sachiko is happy because she can go hang out with others and go catch fireflies, Mei will probably never have that chance. You can tell this by Mei saying, “Because she lived in the country, she was unable to go to school like the girls who lived in Edo” (Choy 8). These character interactions are severely different because while Mei can’t even make friends because she has to stay out of school, Sachiko is able to do things like going firefly hunting with friends....
