In the novel, "The Joy of Luck Club" by Amy Tan tells a couple different stories about mothers from China who have there daughters in America. The mother, Suyuan Woo had a big impact on her daughter Jing-Mei. Even after not getting along, Suyuan had to fill in for her mothers spot after she had died. In order to pay back what her mother had gave her, Jing-Mei decided to fulfill her mothers legacy.
Throughout the doubts and all the thinking, yes I do believe Jing-Mei did succeed to fulfill her mothers legacy. Her mother, Suyuan legacy before she died was to go look for her twin daughters back in China. She wanted to catch up and fill them in with everything that's been going on. Before her mother had even had a chance to plan it, she didn't make it. Her mother had died before getting to go back to China to reunite back with her twin daughters.
Jing-Mei had felt it was important to go after her mothers legacy and so what she wanted to do when she was till here. Finally one day, Jing-Mei had got in contact with her sisters and was glad they had responded back to the letter. Later on she was then in China with her two long lost twin sisters she had finally met. Remembering the reason why she had went, she felt as if it was her job to tell her sisters about her mothers death. She felt that they had every right to know what happened to "their" mother as well.
Being in China was different for Jing-Mei. It was her first time going. I can't say I can relate, but I can just imagine how she feels going alone after her mothers death. Accomplishing her mothers goals is what she planned on achieving. After being in China and learning more about her twin sisters, she seen how she related to them.
Jing-Mei experience in China was as planned. She was more then glad to have fulfilled her mothers legacy. In China, she had seen how she was part Chinese. The trip had made her realize what her mother wanted as for them "sisters" coming together and hanging out. It's different for them because Jing-Mei is an American and the other two twins are Chinese. Even though they are both different, they have the same cultures. At the end, Jing-Mei went back to America. She travels from time to time to catch up with her twin sisters. She always fulfilled and accomplished what her mother always wanted in life.
