Kingston's Ideal Life

In her "Women Warrior" book 's "White Tiger" chapter, Maxine Hong Kingston first imagined the Chinese women's warrior and then returned to her reality as a woman's American life. With her imagination, Kingston dreams of a powerful female Avengers, who can often play opposite roles like warriors and mothers, and family and honor and respect. But in her real life Kingston is facing a totally different world that she struggles to fight for her beliefs and encounters the opposition from her parents.

Kingstone used her old mother's diploma and her year in China to tell the story of life as a girl student of her mother. Kingston's mother's valiant orchid returned home after two years of research. Kingston was born during the Second World War and brought up by the story of his mother. Her mother said that all the white people around her were "ghosts".

Brave Orchid is an equally calm and cruel, proud and intelligent woman in her memoir. She appeared in the whole book, but the most prominent is "Sherman". It depicts her life in China, a doctor, and almost a magical woman. Along with my older sister Moon Orchid, Brave Orchid is the main focus of "Night Palace".
