Abstract

The Joy Luck Club is a famous masterpiece made by a Chinese American female writer Amy Tan, which depicts four groups of immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters, and probes deeply into the psychological and emotional conflicts among four pairs of China-born mothers and American-born daughters when facing two different cultural backgrounds, also unveils the fierce conflicts of their marital views under different cultural ideology. Marriage as an essential part of women’s life is also an important topic between Chinese and American cultural communication. Based on Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory, this thesis explores the differences of martial view between China and America in The Joy Luck Club, which aims to deepen the understanding of differences of martial view between China and America in international communication.
