There are many types of love, relationships and companionship in the world. However, during certain sensitive periods, certain loves are marked as forbidden love or guilty love. Some people had to give up their love, some people had to decide to hide their love forever, some people had to get rid of the outcome of love to protect themselves in this context. Wayson Choy, the author of The Jade Peony, attempts to use the novel's conflicts to explain to people what true love is. Therefore, in the novel, the three relationships are three types that are not easily accepted by people of that era. Love has nothing to do with nationality, love has nothing to do with age, love has nothing to do with gender. The Chinese hatred of the Japanese is so deep that they force themselves to marginalize the Japanese in many unacceptable ways. All Japanese people are considered bad guys, whether or not they have harmed the Chinese. The author attempts to intensify the conflict between Chinese and Japanese. The relationship between Meiying and Kazuo is too difficult to maintain in this context. “Kiam and Father agreed with the Sun editorial series: the Japanese and the coast were potential spies and traitors” (Choy 196). Kiam, a boy of about 16, believes that the Japanese are potential enemies. It is easy to see that the idea of ​​the “bad Japanese” takes root in the minds of all Chinese people. Under these conditions, it is very difficult for a boy and a girl from different nations to form a couple, especially if one is Chinese and the other Japanese. Meiying and Kazuo are such a tragic couple in this context. The love between a Chinese and a Japanese will never be tolerated by both sides...... middle of paper ...... uh, he feels when he hesitates to come out, especially at this At that point, Jung Sum can bear a lot more guilt than anyone can imagine. He uses gay love to show that all types of love are equal. Although the gender reality in homosexuality and heterosexuality is different, the real love between two people is the same. The power of love can break down the gender barrier. The author of The Jade Peony uses several conflicts to show different types of relationships and friendships in the world. Looking back at that era, political issue was the main reason which caused so many tragedies. People have their own right to find love; the true meaning of love is to make life better. This is the message that Wayson Choy wants to convey to readers through the novel. Works Cited Choy, Wayson. The Jade Peony. Vancouver, British Columbia: Douglas and McIntyre, 1995. Print.
