ABSTRACT:The Bonesetter’s Daughter is one of the representative works of Amy Tan which describes the complex relationships between mother and daughter in a migration family. The thesis depicts Ruth’s awakening process and the elements which trigger her awakening, revealing that self-identity is the primary prescription for the self-confused in the melting pot about their “roots”, to arouse the Asian migration’s awareness of identity and rights in the melting- pot countries and to reconstruct their identity. The aim is to appeal the daughters like Ruth in the Book to respect and understand their parents who may act autocratically due to the traditional Education they received, and to encourage the parents like Lu Ling in The Bonesetter’s Daughter to open their heart to accept the affluence of times to their children.
Key Words: Amy Tan; Wakening; Identity Reconstruction
