• The “Joy Luck Club” itself is a mahjong group started by Suyuan where the mothers play mahjong, eat Chinese dishes, and share memories and stories about their past.
• The daughters struggle with the high expectations placed on them by their mothers and with retaining their Chinese cultural identity while growing up Americanized.
• The stories deal with intergenerational conflicts, tragedy, rape, suicide, and triumph as the mothers try to teach their daughters important life lessons through their own experiences.
