Explanation:

June May is a character from Amy Tan's "A Pair Of Tickets" who had gone to China in a bid to get to know more about her half sisters in China. Even though she was reluctant to go for she feels that her half sisters will put the blame of their mother's death on her, she still went there to get connected to her heritage and family roots.
