"once you are born Chinese, you cannot help but feel and think Chinese. Someday you will see. It is in your blood" (Pg.267). Suyuan said this to Jing-Mei once, but she never knew what it meant. That is, until she went to visit her half sisters in China. When she meets her sisters fOr the first time she does not think the resemble her mother at all, but when she later looks at a Photograph she can see the resemblence in all three of them.
In Double face lindo starts thinking that she can be Chinese or American. However when she goes to china they know she is American even though she looks and speaks like them. She wonders what she is missing.
Jing-Mei is a round character. Throughout the story she doesn't realize that she is Chinese. Sure she looked Chinese, but on the inside she didn't feel Chinese at all. Once she saw her sisters, she knew that these were her people and she took honor in her heritage.
