She soon finds out that to do this she must rebel against her mother. Jing Mei gets so caught up in rebelling that she loses sight of what was originally the most important thing to her.

The adventure begins with Jing-mei Woo, Suyuan Woo’s daughter, having to replace her mother in the Joy Luck Club because her mom has died of cerebral aneurysm. Jing-mei Woo tells the story of her mother in place of her. Suyuan’s first husband, an officer, involved in Second Sino-Japanese War has left to Chungking and left Suyuan in Kweilin because of safety reasons. Terrified of the war, she creates the Joy Luck Club in Kweilin to escape any thoughts about the war.

His indifference is supported by his refusal to look at her directly into the eyes, answering her questions in short and concise words, but, yet, trying to dominate the scene. When the operation is first mentioned, he describes it to be a simple and “natural” solution in an attempt to minimize its risks and implications. He has the final word every time a dialogue is exchanged, appears to know the native language, orders the drinks, and is the one in charge of their travels and adventures. For him, Jig is just an accessory, an object he thinks he owns and has the right to manipulate to his convenience. On the other hand, when it comes to analyzing her behavior, at the beginning of the story she appears to be unsure about her own feelings.

Later, Jing-Mei believes her mother is attempting to change her into someone she is not, and, fed up, the two begin to fight. After uttering that only “obedient daughters” are allowed to live in her home, Jing-Mei retaliates by declaring: “‘I wish I were dead! Like them.’ [...] [H]er face went blank, [...] and she backed out of the room, stunned, as if she were blowing away like a small brown leaf, thin, brittle, lifeless” (142). Realizing the importance of the lost twins, Jing-Mei utilizes this information to essentially destroy Suyuan. As Suyuan leaves the room stunned, Jing-Mei also discovers the hurt she has caused her. Consequently, Jing-Mei is able to perceive how tormenting coming to terms with losing her children, and being forced to abandon them in China, has been to Suyuan. Yet, after her mother passes, Jing-Mei is left to reflect on Suyuan’s wishes and life, surrounded by her mother’s

As for Ju Dou, female ‘masculinity’ is portrayed through the juxtaposition between Ju Dou’s virility and Tianqing’s and Jinshan’s emasculation. While Ju Dou bravely insists that Jinshan deserves to die and should be killed, Tianqing reveals his cowardice and abides to the morals of filial piety (Ngan 2005). In addition, when Jinshan lights the dye-house on fire, Ju Dou spits on Jinshan’s face and says that she will keep him alive for a long time so that he can watch Tianqing and herself live happily. Ju Dou also calls Jinshan a filthy beast and reveals that god gave her Tianqing. In both scenes, Zhang Yimou uses a low camera angle that looks up at Ju Dou making her look powerful while Jinshan is portrayed as impotent and vulnerable.
