Ying-Ying is a member of the Joy Luck Club. As a child, Ying-Ying was headstrong and independent. Yet she slowly develops a fatalism and passivity; rarely speaking her mind, she allows her American husband, Clifford St. Clair, to translate incorrectly her feelings and thoughts. Once she realizes that her daughter Lena exhibits the same qualities in her marriage, Ying-Ying recognizes her weakness and resolves to tell Lena her story.
