In "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan, why do you think Suyuan had such high expectations for her daughter Jing-Mei?

Suyuan moved to the United States with the hope of a better life for her and her future children. She sacrificed everything she had there, including her twin babies. She saw Shirley Temple and child prodigies on television and thought that, with enough work, her daughter should be able to be a prodigy, too. This seems even more realistic to Suyuan because one of her friend's daughters, Waverly Jong, is a chess prodigy. Suyuan thought of the United States as a land of possibility and opportunity for anyone willing to work hard enough. I think her perception of America, the sacrifices she made to try to provide a better life for Jing-Mei, and her failure to understand what it actually means to be a prodigy are what cause Suyuan to have such high expectations for Jing-Mei.
