Fiction. Asian Studies. BUTTERFLY TEARS is a collection of
seventeen pieces of short fiction that depict the experiences of
Chinese immigrant women facing the challenges of life in a new
country. The stories are set in different parts of China, Canada,
and to a lesser extent in the United States and examine Chinese
women's cross-cultural experiences in North America as well as
women's issues and political discrimination in China. The stories,
or parts of stories, set in China give the reader interesting
glimpses into events such as the cultural revolution and Mao's
death.The immigrant experience, the predominant theme, encompasses
a number of aspects ranging from issues such as language and food
to education. Feminism and changing male/female relationships form
another important theme that also runs through many of the stories.
