Awww ... "do your own homework", so mean ...

Well. Here's the major conflict:

"The Chinese mothers strive to instill their American-born daughters with an understanding of their heritage, yet also attempt to save them the pain they felt as girls growing up in China. The daughters, on the other hand, often see their mothers’ attempts at guidance as a form of hypercritical meddling, or as a failure to understand American culture. The daughters thus respond by attempting to further their mothers’ assimilation. Both the mothers and the daughters struggle with issues of identity: the mothers try to reconcile their Chinese pasts with their American presents; the daughters attempt to find a balance between independence and loyalty to their heritage."

The best thing to do would be to visit here:

It starts off saying "There are sixteen interwoven conflicts in this story." From there, you can read the article and pick and choose.

Good luck! :-]

I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I will suggest that you examine the relationships between Lindo and Waverly, Rose and Ted, and Waverly and Jing-Mei.

Seriously, though, I've read this book several times. You really should give it a chance rather than just skimming through and relying on others to do your work.
