About mother’s love

In this movie, the most impressive scene in my mind was that June’s mother carried the two little babies .It was so touching, so miserable. June’s mother got a lot of pain after leaving her own children for her helpless. After her whole life, she missed them and wanted to see them. We can imagine how a mother heartache.

After I watched this movie, I will cherish my mother’s love. I will spend more time accompanying my mother at home. It is not really easy to become a mother. Maybe when I really become a mother, I will understand a mother’s love.

Obviously, the conflicts are caused by mothers’ and daughters’ generation gaps and growing backgrounds. The mothers grew up in China where there are many traditions and rules to follow. However, the daughters grew up in San Francisco and live in an American way. In another way, it is also conflicts between the two cultures. In China, parents are the symbol of power. In America, however, everyone is equal and parents encourage sense of independence

for you is this way . so smart,so easy,so fast.not so easy anymore.what she said was like a curse,this power I have,this belief I have in myself,I could actually feel it draining away.i could feel

myselfi never play chess again.【】she needs a cut and curl,Triver.and the color of hers is from the cheap black dye she’s been using at home.god forbade she paid anything she had done.【】why I should

was going to have to accept Rich,like it or notOf course,the night is still young,thank god I already taught him about the Chinese manners.actually,there are few things I forgot to mention,he should not take a second glass when everyone else only have one inch or two only for taste,you should have taken only a small spoonful of best dishes until everyone have had after helping,he shouldn’t brag that he’s a fastlearner,but the worst,is when Rich criticized my mom’s cooking and he even didn’t know what he had done.as it’s Chinese cook customs that my mother always insulted her own cooking but only with the dish she served with special pride.that was a cue to eat some and proclaim it the best she had ever made.She dosen’t want to be too tight for it,and wen don’t want to look too wired or kinky.Is it all right,mom?not so kinky?Why does my daughter think she was translating English for me?Maybe I don’t go.What do you mean?Maybe I don’t go to your wedding.Oh,don’t be ridiculous.Maybe I’ve already been ridiculous,and too ridiculous for your future husband’s family.I could see her face looking at me,but not seeing me.she was ashamed,so ashamed to be my daughter.Mom,what’s wrong?Nothing.nothing,I…I am thinking about my mother,how much I wanted to be like her.Your mother?She told me all the hopes she had for me was what I never forget.in my memory,my mother was important to me,just like her words,easily appreciate memory.Mom,why don’t you like Rich?Is Rich you afraid I don’t like?if I don’t like Rich,I would be polite and say nothing,let him be cencer,let my daughter be a widow. I like Rich,of course I do.to allow him marry such a daughter. You don’t know.you don’t know your power you have for me.one word from you,one look,four years old I had to go to sleep myself,because nothing I do can never ever please you.Now,now you are making me happy.【】only one thing’s worse,I was only 16.after that,everything like this dream,our wedding,our son.this is not his first conquest,only the first I permitted myself to recognize,by then I had knes what kind of man I had marrie,happiest when he’s cruel.so forgetful he had not returned the next morning,or the next evening.my whole life’d turing this moment if I had left him or killed him,I would not lost one thing that I mattered.my mind was repeating a single thought:he had taken from me my innoncence,my youth,my heart,everything.so I took the only thing from him I could.my baby was so light in my arms,because his little spirit had flown away,and with his,my spirit had also gone,years later,I moved to America,but what I had done in china was always with me.in time I remarried and I had a daughter but Lina had no spirit,because I had none to give her. Mommy?mommy,please answer me.mommy?As I was growing up,there were times when mom went thrifty bad spells.she often seems scared and sad,but she never talk about it.except said that she had married a bad man in china.over the years,mom got better,although it seemed that all her feels tending to worry about me.so now that I had married,and she’s visiting my new house,I hope she can finally be happy for me.Don’t worry,everything’s fine.he’s very nice to me.Nice?nice?very nice?what’s this?What if you rest in the room and I keep some tea okay? I’ve got some tea.What’s thins writing?Mom,it’s nothing.youknow,it’s just things we shared.At least,it was how Harol calls it,sharing,everything’s fifty-fifty,so our love is always equal,the iron is I was the one who started it that way.so what I had only one salad and he had three courses?we were quals,except that I was working in his firm and he pays himself seven times more than he pays me,seven and a half.then last year,when we finally decided to get married,we agreed,love yes,false dependencies,no.with most of everything,we keep track of what we spend,then split it,fifty-fifty.of course we agreed early on not to include personal stuff,like my tenounds and feminine hygine spray,and his shaving lotion and food powder.but we still have these philosophical argument about these gray areas,like magazines I subscribed to,which he reads but only,but only because they are there.the cat,even the god dame cat flees.All around the rooms,I see the signs,my daughter looks but she doesn’t see,this is a house which is going to break into pieces.it’s not too late,all my pains,regrets,I would gather them together,my daughter will hear me calling,even though I’ve said no words,she will climb the stairs and find me,she would be scared because the first of her eyes will see nothing,she will feel it in her heart,this place which she hides her fears.she will know I am waiting like a tiger in the trees,now ready to leap out and cut the spirit loose.With both hands open.it is you who will be found and cherished.。

晚餐[ Waverly Narrating ] Of course, the night was still young.Thank God I already prepped him on the Emily Post of Chinese manners.How are you?[ Man Speaking Chinese ]Actually, there were a few things l forgot to mention.[ Rich ] Let me make a toast.He shouldn't have had that second glasswhen everyone else had had only half an inch just for taste.Shrimp. My favorite.He should have taken only a small spoonful of the best dish until everyone had had a helping.He has good appetite.He shouldn't have bragged he was a fast learner.But the worst was when Rich criticized my mother's cooking,and he didn't even know what he had done.As is the Chinese cook's custom,my mother always insults her own cooking,but only with the dishes she serves with special pride.This dish not salty enough.No flavor. It's too bad to eat.But please.Oh! Uh.That was our cue to eat someand proclaim it the best she'd ever made.You know, Lindo,all this needs is a little soy sauce.[ Gasping ] Oh!So, how'd your mom react when you told her about the wedding?It never came up.How come?She'd rather get rectal cancer.Oh.Lena独白My whole life turned in this moment.If I had Ieft him or kiIIed him,I would not have lost the one thing that mattered.[ Water Rippling ][ Baby Cooing ][ Cooing ]My mind kept repeating a single thought.He had taken from me my innocence,my youth, my heart,everything.[ Water Splashing ][ Splashing Continues ]So I took from him the only thing l could.[ Screaming ][ Sobbing ]My baby was so light in my arms,because his little spirit had flown away.And with his, my spirit had also gone.Years Iater, I moved to America.But what I had done in China was always with me.In time, I remarried and l had a daughter.But Lena had no spirit,because l had none to give her.Rose见父母This is Rose Hsu, my girlfriend.[ Rose Narrating ] The one word sent me into totaI shock,from which, I'm afraid, l've never quite recovered.-Hello. Hi. -[ Dad ] Hello.Is this a private reverie or can an old lady join you?Sure.You and Ted haven't known each other long, have you?Actually, no.I've never heard him speak of you until this morning.But it's always a thrill for a mother to hear that sort of excitementin her son's voice.So I hope you won't misunderstandwhat I have to say.I want you to know, Rose, that we're a very liberal family.[ Rose Narrating ] l couldn't believe what she was telling me.lt was straight out of some awtuI racist movie,like The World of Suzie Wong.[ Ted's Mother ] Ted is going to be working with his father in the company.He's going to be judged by people of a different standard.Publishers, authors, critics and their wives.They won't be as understanding as we are.Mrs. Jordan, you sound as if Ted and I are getting married.That's hardly the case.Oh, I know, dear, it's just that, well, the way the world is.How unpopular Vietnam was.I'm not Vietnamese.
