Abstract:The Joy Luck Club is a famous novel by Amy Tan, a well-known Chinese American woman writer. She presents the complex bittersweet relationship between the two generations of four pairs of Chinese-immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters. This paper explores the bittersweetness between the mothers and daughters with a focus on the development from conflict to reconciliation. Such elements of the cultural difference, self-identity and family bonds have also been approached to reinforce the interpretation of the original reasons that cause the misunderstandings and conflicts between the mothers and daughters, thus revealing the significance of the reconciliation of the bittersweet relationship between the mothers and daughters and between the two cultures.
Key Words: bitter-sweetness; mother-daughter relationship; conflict and reconciliation
