Wang Zhenyi: A True Hero

Essentially, her experience within this new change in her life caused her to slowly shift away from her culture. In comparison, Ellie also experiences this type of discrimination due to the fact that there was a ban on Chinese immigration. This gave her a feeling of being circumscribed and confused in that moment because she is a woman who is confident and strict about her ways, but still received unnecessary hate. For example, this is shown in the text when it says “ She still doesn't understand people here... New Chinese Exclusion Act...

His reign led to many rebellions, which obviously caused many people to lose their lives. If you resisted and your life ended, the lives of your relatives could also be taken to weed out any possible traitors. (Which I found rather brutal.) Also, if one were to be conquered and not killed, enslaved, or imprisoned, they’d be taxed heavily. As stated before, the Mongols were ordered to destroy the farmlands to make room for pasture, which led to the starvation of many people.

She even committed suicide due to the fact of how badly she needed to free herself from the Creole lifestyle. Edna, a remarkable lady in a sense, rebelled against the norms of society to openly be herself. People like Edna, or people brave enough to take a chance to change societal norms, come rare to find, especially during the late 1800’s. Edna never agreed to anything she did not want, after the marriage to Leonce, and was quite straight-forward with her desires. Edna, ideally, is a great role model to look up to in today’s world for filling that brave, young woman role to not let society shape her, despite the few occurrences she had intimate moments with multiple men or her carelessness towards her children.

Women have always struggled with equality throughout our global history, and the Han Dynasty is a great example of this

Some soldiers would even go crazy from seeing all of their comrades being slaughtered in front of them. Who could possibly not be affected by dead bodies all around them, especially if they were to be your friend or family. In the end if the soldier wanted to survive they had to either turn off their emotions or suffer emotionally till eventually they went

Chi Li Slays the Serpent is a Chinese myth that identifies and illustrates the cultural status of females in ancient Chinese society, an Eastern Asian society that typically viewed women as more expendable than men. Chi Li, however, possesses and applies many heroic qualities that seems to contradict the social perspective and provides a turning point for females in a patriarchal society. It is important that Chi Li is a female because, had it not been for her gender, she would not have had the opportunity to volunteer herself to face off with the monstrous serpent. Being a female is also normally associated with fertility in literature and mythology, as females are the birth givers in society.

In this paragraph the author is trying to say that her mothers expectations led her to be unhappy. Her mother, being chinese, is stereotyped for expecting her to do good in school but the author didn 't do so. This created tension between them. Yet again this is an example of how culture affects the way others view you as a

Have you ever wondered what It would be like if the government that is supposed to protect you went against you, Well that’s what happened to the people who lived during the Cultural revolution The Red Scarf Girl, Ji-Li Jiang is a girl who lived the Chinese Cultural Revolution, a time of fear when all the laws of China broke down, At the start life was good for Ji-Li she was good in academics and she was a social person but as the book progressed Ji-Li’s life was starting to be ruined by Bad Academics because teachers were considered Four Olds (Something that is from the Old Chinese Culture) because Chairman Mao(a communist revolutionary) wanted to “Revolutionize" China.

In Asian customs it is considered inappropriate to live with a man before being married and getting your hair done at a salon was wasteful when you could do it yourself at home. Lindo didn’t approve with Waverly’s lifestyle and criticized it; since she tried her best teach Waverly about Chinese character. Whenever her mother tried to teach her, she said it was to old fashioned and never took an interest in her culture. Waverly identifies and an American, even though she has a strong Chinese

Jing Mei, while portrayed as an obedient child, is only willing to listen to her mother to a certain extent. Throughout the story, it is consistently hinted that Jing Mei would eventually explode against her mother as an attempt to free herself from her mother’s chains. In addition, after the fiasco at the piano recital, she eventually derives further from her mother’s wishes as she “didn 't get straight A...didn 't become class president...didn 't get into Stanford...dropped out of college.” (54). On the flip side, Jing Mei’s mother is a stereotypical Chinese parent who is fully determined to ensure her daughter’s success in a new environment.

During the Warring States Period Ancient China, Ying Zheng was born (259 BCE) to King Zhuangxiang and Queen Dowager Zhou. During this time, 7 major states of China were fighting for dominance over the country. It lasted from 475-221 BCE (which was about 254 years). At thirteen years old, Ying Zheng’s father died and he ascended to the throne of China to become king. He had to rule with a regent for a period of time, as he was too young to lead on his own, but once he took the throne to himself, it became his main goal as a king to unify China.

The movie hero is based on the idea of an assassin the wants to kill Emperor Qin. He believes his decision to kill Qin is a just and noble cause. Then soon realizes that Qin is only trying to unify the country, even though it was a little controversial idea at the time. Now the story does show some real ideas for Qin but the story in its self isn’t true, just great TV.

Despite the novel being set in a time period that happened long ago, I believe we still have a lot of relatable experiences with Wang Lung. He is someone with good morals, but from time to time he will do something immoral for personal satisfaction like when he took the gold from the man in the rich house in the south. Page 137 states, “And the fat man rose to his knees, sobbing and gibbering and feeling for the pocket of the robe, and he brought forth his yellow hands dripping with gold, and Wang Lung held out the end of his coat and received it”. I think it's almost part of human nature to do something that isn't quite morally acceptable for one's own pleasure, because nobody is perfect and it is easy to be led into temptation. Also Wang

Zheng He’s voyages have been a constant source of controversy in the historical world because of the differing opinions on whether they should be celebrated or not. In July of 1405, Zheng He was given a task to lead a fleet of ships for exploration. This task was assigned to him by Emperor Yongle of China’s Ming Dynasty. Zheng He went on seven separate voyages over the next twenty eight years through the Indian and Pacific Oceans with the largest fleet of wooden ships in history. He navigated his massive fleet from Nanjing along the Chinese coast and through these oceans to explore new lands and bring prosperity to China.

America. This was a magical name on the eastern coast of the province of Fujian, where both of my parents were born. My parents grew up during the Cultural Revolution, a movement initiated by Mao Zedong’s belief that his Communist Party was shunting him aside and propelling the country in the wrong, inegalitarian direction. Mao attempted to reassert his authority over the Chinese masses by enforcing his ideology. He mobilized the Red Guards, paramilitary groups of students, to destroy the Four Olds—old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits.
