After I finish this novel, I read a lot of second resource, not only in English, but also in Chinese. The most of them are focus on the love element in the novel, but I want to say that there is not only Love in the story, but also discrimination in the story. The proud white French girl and a yellow rich man have an important conflict status in the story.
The French girl proud of her noble blood since she was born, even she is very poor. However, she thinks that she is a white person and this is the good reason for her to discriminate the man. In the story, the writer not only one time to describe that the man is thin, weakness and always emphasize that he is Chinese.
The man who is very rich in Saigon and his money is the only reason for the girl to approach to him. In frond of the girl’s face, the man cried and shows his fear about the war and his father. He is a yellow man who can not compare with her.
We can found much evidence to show us that the girl is look upon the man. Therefore, this novel not only talks about the love, but also shows us that the discrimination is go deep into the girl’s heart.
