 In the novel, four Chinese mothers each have a daughter, but they have difficulty in communicating with their American-born daughters. The barrier of mother-daughter communication is from different cultural background. Mothers grew up in China under the traditional “high-context culture”(Tian Lei, 2015, p.306), while their daughters grew up in the United States under the “low-context culture”(p.306).

Though four Chinese mothers immigrated to America, deeply influenced by traditional Chinese values, they try to inherit traditional Chinese culture to their daughters, in order to keep their roots. But daughters were struggling to find the answer of "who I am" in the white mainstream society, after bitter resistance and struggle, they finally found ultimate goal of their soul in the Chinese traditional culture. As a result, they realized that mother is their only dependence.
