"Two Kinds" Mother-Daughter Conflict

In the conflict between Jing-mei and her mother, her mother is strict yet supportive to her even though she is forcing her to play the piano and to become a prodigy. My mother did the same to me and I am greatful that I had the opportunities to learn new things during that time. She taught me that with a little push, I can do anything thats possible though it may be difficult, and learning to play the piano was very difficult.
