Suyuan woo personality

It was so nice, she founded it twice. In both China and America, Suyuan starts the club in order to bring together a community of women to celebrate their happiness and luck in life despite the suffering and obstacles they're facing. In China, the suffering is the Sino-Japanese War; in America the challenge is a new culture, a new language, and economic struggle.

Neither war nor culture shock is going to get in the way of her joy In both lives she flexes her strength of will and determination. In China, she's born to wealthy family, marries an officer in the army, and gives birth to twin girls. Despite her life of luxury, when she hears that the Japanese are invading and will likely kill her and her daughters, Suyuan takes her children and possessions in a wheelbarrow and leaves town on foot.

Clearly, Suyuan doesn't die in China like she expects, but she loses her entire family.

But again, her strength and determination triumphs; Suyuan is able to build a new life in America:.

There were so many ways for things to get better.

She remarries, learns English well enough, raises a daughter, and even ends up owning her own apartment complex.
