Abstract:Amy Tan is a Chinese American woman writer and she is famous for her first novel, The Joy Luck Club. It describes the stories about four Chinese immigrant mothers and their four American-raised daughters.
Jing-mei Woo, a daughter and her mother Suyuan Woo’s stories are more typical and complete than the other ones. Suyuan, the first generation immigrant to America, has been deeply influenced by Chinese traditional culture, while Jing-mei, the American-raised daughter, has been deeply influenced by American culture. The conflicts between the Chinese immigrant mother and the American-raised daughter emerge inevitably because they have different values and thoughts and their cultural backgrounds are quite different. Jing-mei grows up in the conflicts from her childhood to her adulthood. Whatever gaps and conflicts they have, they will eventually come to the reconciliation because they are of one blood all the way. The process of their mother-daughter relationship from the conflicts to the reconciliation is that of the Chinese traditional culture and American culture from its conflicts to its reconciliation essentially.
The paper will analyze the causes of the conflicts and the reconciliation between Jing-mei Woo’s and her mother Suyuan Woo to interpret their cultural implications：the conflicts and the reconciliation between the Chinese immigrant mother and the American-raised daughter reflect the conflicts and the reconciliation between Chinese culture and American culture. It reveals an inexorable trend in the multicultural development and also the author’s belief in the harmonious multicultural development and expectation for it.
Key words: mother-daughter relationship, conflict, reconciliation, Chinese and American culture
中文摘要:《喜福会》是美国著名华裔女作家谭恩美的第一部作品，也是她的成名之作。这部小说描写了四位移居美国的母亲以及她们各自在美国出生和成长起来的女儿的生活经历。
小说中吴精美和吴素云母女的故事尤为突出，同时她们的故事也是四对母女中最为完整的。母亲吴素云作为第一代移民深受中国传统文化的影响；而在美国土生土长的女儿吴精美则深受美国文化的影响。由于文化背景的不同,她们的想法观念也大不相同，彼此各执己见，互不相让，母女之间的矛盾冲突由此产生，因而女儿吴精美自幼在与母亲的冲突中成长。然而，母女间无论有着怎样的隔阂和矛盾，血浓于水的骨肉亲情总会使她们跨越一切鸿沟和障碍，最终相互理解。吴素云和吴精美母女间的冲突与融合实质上也是中美文化间从碰撞到融合的过程。
本文将通过分析在吴精美童年时期和其成年之后与母亲吴素云之间从矛盾冲突到最终理解的故事情节阐释其中的文化内涵：移民母亲和在美国生长的女儿间的冲突与和解实质上体现了中美文化间的碰撞与交融，中美文化从冲突到融合是必然的发展趋势，这同时也是作者对于多元文化和谐发展的期待和信心。
