The Joy Luck Club The first scene I chose was the scene when Lindo was arranged to marry Huang Tai-Tai’s son. Her mother arranged the marriage when she was very young. The lesson that this scene contains is that honor is the most important aspect of Chinese culture. Lindo did not want to get married, but she did it to honor her family and keep her promise to her mother that she would marry Huang Tai-Tai’s son. She was taught to be a “good” member of that society through her mother constantly reminding
