| Summary | "My Chinese Marriage" by M. T. F. is a romantic narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the complexities of cross-cultural relationships, focusing on the protagonist, Margaret, and her evolving friendship and love for Chan-King Liang, a Chinese student she meets in America. The book explores themes of love, cultural prejudices, and the clash between Eastern and Western traditions as the couple navigates their relationship. The opening portion introduces Margaret as she begins her college life in small-town America, where she encounters Chan-King, initially observing him from a distance. Their interactions display a gradual shift from ambiguity to familiarity, as they bond over language studies and various cultural differences. As their friendship deepens, Margaret grapples with her feelings and societal expectations surrounding interracial relationships. The narrative sets the stage for Margaret’s emotional journey, illustrating her internal conflicts and the cultural dynamics that will shape their romantic relationship as it progresses through love and into marriage.
