The Collision and Coexistence between Chinese and American Cultures——The Collision and Coexistence between Two Generations in The Joy Luck Club

摘要

In many Chinese and American works, the differences of backgrounds, such as culture, customs and so on occupy a large part, through which readers can see the collision as well as coexistence between the two cultures. The Joy Luck Club has no exception. In this work, the commtmication under different cultural backgrounds between the generations generates a lot of collision, but they get coex-istence in the end. In this paper, the author will analyze the continuous collision and the final coexistence of the four pairs of mothers and daughters, so that readers can learn more about the differences between Chinese and American culture.
