The parable that precedes the second section of the novel deals with an American-raised daughter's conflict with her mother. The mother explains that a book, titled The Twenty-six Malignant Gates, details the dangers that can befall her child when she is away from the protection of the home.
In this way, what are contained in the twenty six malignant Gates?
It is all written in a book called The Twenty-Six Malignant Gates, the mother explains. The daughter then demands to know the twenty-six bad things that can happen, but the mother refuses to answer. In a fury, the girl rushes outside, jumps on her bicycle, and falls — even before she reaches the corner.
Also to know is, what does an MEI remember about her mother from when an MEI was four?
She remembers that her mother returned to the family and was chased away the same night after the hot soup burned An-mei. Her grandmother told her that her mother had left and would forget An-mei if she didn't get better fast.
Peach Blosson Luck is a love potion, or something that means attracting love and romance. In the story, the mother believes that the mirror which was placed under the bed of the daughter would deflect the love of her marriage (and the romance in the bed) away, and it is considered bad luck.
