I used to think it was pretty interesting stuff
then I grew up and the family let me in on the skeletons in our closet and I realised there are millions of stories like these all around

>Joy Luck Club
load of ABC feminist bollocks

Such as?

Who's adopted, who was given away, who was actually a concubine (i.e. sex slave)

>>25416653
Yeah if you're Chinese maybe, here in the west, we don't sell our daughters off to be sex slaves in some triad sanctioned red light district.

>>25417438
Right, they sell themselves. Actually, they do it for free!

>Yeah if you're Chinese maybe, here in the west, we don't sell our daughters off
it was a worldwide historical practice, just like slavery
(which it arguably was)

>triad sanctioned red light district
nothing so dramatic
and I would question whether it's better for the sex industry to take place nominally illegally under the triads, or so legalised and out in the open that half of society participates in the process

for example, Hollywood's insistence on nudity makes it virtually a sex industry, albeit one that "only" goes as far as a strip club (broadcast worldwide)
the result is that you can count on your fingers how many major actresses haven't done nudes
and child actors such as Maisie Williams are on a public countdown in which mainstream entertainment media speculate openly when and how they will do their nude scene and for what film or series etc when they begin to approach legal age

oh, and lastly:

Yeah, our daughters are trained to sell themselves

I always confuse this book with Ballsack and the Ligma Chinese Seamstress, a book so boring I read it front to back and could only remember a single scene from it the next day. Shit actually neuralized me.
