I am yet to listen to your lecture, which I intend to, I love oriental history. An educated woman is worthless woman, but Tan (the man) Yunxian born into an elite family, haunted by death, separations, and loneliness is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Instead, of following pop American/Europian culture it is instigated to follow their traditions, it may not be what the book is about but by the way Ms. Tan is posed it indicates just that.
