Only if there is no excuse for persistence will succeed

At the beginning of writing, Tan Enmei did not encounter any good luck, but sneer.

Although her works "The Joy Luck Club", "The Kitchen God's Wife" and "Hundred Mysterious Feelings" have sold millions of copies, she was only a commercial writer before. She and a partner run a professional writing company that pays time as a lawyer's job.

Dealing with customers, Amy Tan's main job is to coordinate and manage – but the immigrant daughter wants to do something more creative with words – English text.

So she presented her idea to the partner: "I want to write more." However, the partner asserted that her strengths were to make assessments, find contractors and collect accounts. "That is an annoying errand." Tan Enmei hates this kind of social work and knows that she is not good at it. The partner insists that writing is her weakest skill.

"At the time, I thought, I would either believe his words and continue to do my own business, or make my own request." So she argued for her rights. However, partners are not willing to compromise.

In shock, Tan Enmei said: "I resigned." The partner said: "You can't resign, you are fired." Then, added: "Don't want to earn a penny by writing."

Amy Tan did everything she could to pick up a lot of work and wanted to prove to the partner that he was wrong. As a freelance writer, she sometimes has to work 90 hours a week, and it is very difficult to stand on her own. However, no one binds herself or limits her talents, which makes her feel that it is worthwhile. Since she has already done it alone, she will open her hands and write novels. The "The Joy Luck Club" was born, and its hero slowed the daughter of a bright but lonely Chinese immigrant. The unwritten manager became one of the best-selling authors and one of the most loved writers in the United States.
