Earlier this year I saw a film about some Chinese women living in the USA. It was set in modern America and it contrasted their lives with the experiences of their parents in China which were unhappy ones. One parent was forced into a marriage while very young. The family of the boy she marries mistreat her but she makes a cunning escape plan by fiegning her spirit possession. In order to remove the curse on the family the pregnant serving girl of the household ends up as the new bride.
Another parent marries a womaniser who neglects and abuses her. She has a child with him which she eventually kills. One of the Chinese American daughters marries and is divorced by a white American guy who becomes bored by her subservience. Another daughter had disappointed her mother by not becoming a pianist and could never please her. Another was unhappily married to a Chinese man. Hope someone can help.
