In the story with out would we have Rose Hsu Jordan grown up and she has been married for about 15 years to Ted, but the marriage starts to fail. One day will Ted is on a business trip, Rose gets divorce papers in the mail along with a ten thousand dollar check. Rose is crushed and takes the pain by staying in bed with the help of sleeping pills. On the third day An-mei calls Rose and tells her and says that she should stand up for herself. After the talk with An-mie Ted calls, and asks why Rose hasn’t sent the divorce papers back. Ted what the house for he has found a new love and what to the house to live in with her. Rose tells Ted to come pick them up. When he gets the papers they are unsigned and Rose refuses to be thrown away like trash by Ted and says she is keeping the house.
The Chinese value that is shown in this story is that you should respect yourself and show confidence in everything you do. Rose got self respect after the talk with An-mie which made her stand up for her self against Ted. Rose starts having more self confidence when she decides to stand up for herself and first she wasn’t as good at it as she took her pain by lying in bed and taking pills, but she stands up and gets to keep the house for she isn’t just a piece of something that you can just pick then when your done with it throw it away.
So I think that what the Chinese value of this story is respect yourself and stand up to problems that come at you. That them head on don't avoid them.
