The Joy Luck Club is the first novel of Chinese American writer Amy Tan. It depicts the conflicts and understanding between four first-generation immigrant mothers and second-generation immigrant daughters, and how they survive in the patriarchal American society. Ecofeminism takes nature and women as its basis and utilizes relevant theories of humanity. It reveals the domination of man over nature and man over women and aims to call for the joint efforts of all human beings to dispel the binary thinking mode, value hierarchy concept and logic of domination, and rebuild the network of human life to form an interdependent relationship between men, women, and nature. This paper aims to interpret The Joy Luck Club from the new and unique perspective of ecofeminism, which describes the mental journey of Chinese American women characters in the process of constructing their identity between Chinese and American cultures. It seeks to enable the deconstruction of patriarchal systems and build a world where men, women and nature coexist harmoniously in American society.
