Amy Tan & Joy Luck Club, 1990

For MOCA’s 10th anniversary in 1990, a benefit event called Bridging Generations: A Reading with Amy Tan was held. During the event, Tan read from her 1989 novel Joy Luck Club, which explores four American-born Chinese daughters learning about their mothers’ lives before immigrating to the U.S. The novel would be adapted by Hollywood in 1993.

1990年，为了庆祝建馆十周年，美国华人博物馆举办了一场名为“沟通世代：谭恩美主持作品选读”的募款活动。在活动中，谭恩美朗读了她1989年的小说《喜福会》。该书探究了四位在美国出生的华裔女儿如何认识到他们母亲在移民来美前的生活。这本小说也在1993年被好莱坞改编为电影。
