Chinatown Sunday gives some understanding of of the life of one child growing up within Chinese-American cultural traditions in a Chicago suburb. But it is more. It is also the story of a girl struggling with the pains of growing up: trying to overcome a little bit of shyness, wondering how to relate to boys, knowing that her parents want her to be "ladylike" but still enjoying "tomboy" activities.
