Answer:
The mother is Chinese.
The daughter is American.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tale "Two Kinds", included in the anthology The Joy Luck Club (1989), is one of the most expressive of the Asian-American writer Amy Tan. The narrative addresses the expectations of a Chinese mother, Suyuan Woo, regarding American daughter, Jing-Mei Woo. Suyuan persists in seeing her the prodigal girl, in order to realize the American dream of fame and wealth. However, Jing-Mei is just an ordinary young woman with no talent at all. Consequently, there is a tension between them in the context of the conflict of generations and the difference of thought between first-wave immigrants and their descendants.
