On Conflicts and Reconciliation Between China and America in The Joy Luck Club

From an intercultural communication approach,this paper analyses conflicts and reconciliation experienced by Chinese mothers and their Americanized daughters in Amy Tan's work The Joy Luck Club.The conflicts between them are conflicts between two cultures.To understand the conflict and reconciliation between two cultures profoundly, this paper applies the theories of "high-context culture" and "low-context culture" and Hofstede's Value Dimensions. From the film, The Joy Luck Club, it is a new trend that two cultures have been developing from the conflict to reconciliation.
