This isn’t the only challenge she must face. The story also involves her own personal problems and struggles.
The movie follows the lives of two very different couples: one is an Asian-American, Rachel Chu, who is an economics professor at NYU and the other is from China. The story revolves around their relationship and the challenges of living in different cultures. Rachel and Nick’s mother are very different, but they share some similar characteristics.

Rachel Chu
In the film Crazy Rich Asians, Rachel Chu is the wife of New York University professor Nick Young. She has a flat chest, jet-black hair, and a good tan. Chu comes from an average middle-class family, but when she falls in love with Nick’s brother, she is thrust into the world of the ultra-rich. She has to deal with Nick’s disapproving mother, her new life, and Nick’s friends, including his friend Colin Khoo.
The two meet in Singapore to attend Nick’s best friend’s wedding. Rachel Chu is a commoner, while Nick is from upper-class Singaporean society. However, her mother, Eleanor Sung-Young, tries to sabotage their relationship. As a result, Nick is estranged from most of his family.
Although Crazy Rich Asians hasn’t hit theaters yet, it is sure to make a splash. The film’s cast is mostly Asian, including Wu and Henry Golding. It is also the first Hollywood movie with a majority Asian cast since “The Joy Luck Club” 15 years ago. In addition, the film is an attempt to change the genre, which has been dominated by American films.
Goh Peik Lin
The storyline of Crazy Rich Asians revolves around the opulence of Singapore’s aristocratic Goh Peik Lin, who is the best friend of Rachel Chu. Goh Peik Lin’s family is very rich, and she lavishes Rachel with expensive gifts and trips to chi-chi boutiques. She even buys Rachel her first Alaia for her wedding.
Peik Lin is a native of Singapore, where she grew up in a large family with a colorful mother and awkward brother. She lives with her family in the family mansion. Her parents are “new money” in Singapore, and her family consists of several members, including her younger sister. She also went to college in the U.S., but ended up wandering aimlessly, crashing parties, and cracking jokes.
While the story is highly engrossing, the book is hardly a light read. It’s full of melodrama, romance, philosophy, and exotic locations. Ultimately, though, the movie is a compelling story of character and values, and an entertaining and thought-provoking read.
