When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
到了那里,一看菜单,我的眼睛就花了,什么牛肉粥、皮蛋瘦肉粥、牛肉肠粉、干蒸烧麦、干腌牛肉粉、牛肉凉面、吊烧肉凉面等等。最后,我请妈妈来点菜,她点了牛肉肠粉、牛肉粥、吊烧肉凉面和皮蛋瘦肉粥。不一会儿,小吃都上来了,香味扑面而来,我和妈妈都不知道朝哪碗先下筷子好了:牛肉肠粉黑白分明,酱油味甜微咸,肠粉润滑,牛肉嫩爽,鲜美无比,吃进嘴里,回味无穷;吊烧肉凉面味道独特,吊烧肉嫩爽无比,面条又细又嫩,弹力丰富,非常爽口,是美味的好小吃;牛肉粥里牛肉鲜嫩多汁,粥软、滑。如丝锦一般,吃上一口,粥就会直接流向你的喉咙,软滑无比;还有,皮蛋瘦肉粥里放进了虾米,嚼起来“啪啪”直响,非常之脆,花生的味道浓、纯。油条被切成约一寸长,放在粥里,又软又滑,吃起来像棉花糖一样,在嘴里不用嚼就化了,真是一种享受。
我们将桌上的东西全部都一扫而光,嗯,常德的小吃真是太美味了。
“到了!到了!”我与表姐急忙下车,一回头就看到了清水湖那壮丽的美景。清水湖湖如名清澈见底,豪迈不缺庄重。清水湖环绕着山,这些山拔地而起,一座接着一座,山上绿草如茵,桃红柳绿,像一位志在千里的士兵保护着这一片可爱的清水公主。
在风景如画的清水湖中畅游应该是人间一大享受吧!换好泳衣,准备下水,往前走几步就可以踩到细软的沙子,这沙子是天然的地毯,他们松软,细腻,在水中随浪飘动,似乎是小小的精灵表演着湖上芭蕾。这真让我佩服大自然的创造力!
就当我陶醉其中时,表姐拉了我一把:“前面更美呢,快来!”这话点醒了我,我赶紧往前走,只听“哎呀!”一声,水踩不到底了,我“扑通”跌进了水里,两手哗哗地打着水面,脚底生了风似的,飞快地往水下蹬,还好抓住了救生圈,真惊险!我心里打起了退堂鼓,不行!不经过一番努力怎能将美景收入囊中呢?我一定要去看看!
我努力向湖中游去,太阳出来了,仿佛是在迎接我们。我看到太阳与水融在了一起,阳光在静如明镜的湖面上跳动着,波光粼粼,闪耀着金光,像给湖水铺上了一层发光的金子,又似被揉皱了的绿缎,这样的画面恐怕技艺再好的高手,也难以描摹这独一无二的`场景。
最让我难以忘怀的还有我们游戏时的情形,现在想起来也会忍俊不禁。“战斗”打响了,我们玩的其实是“水上老鹰捉小鸡”,可怜的我被分配为最后一只“小鸡”,一开始我暗暗得意,因为“老鹰”就是我表姐,要知道她可是一只“旱鸭子”。“老鹰”使用了转圈大法,先往左飞飞,猛的又往右飞飞,趁我们没有注意就把我们几只“小鸡”抓走了。“母鸡”着急了,开始猛的防守,防守就防守吧,也太猛了,一下就把我甩了出去。不好了,“老鹰”迅速扑向我,我飞快向前游,连狗爬式都使了出来,回头一看她已经被我甩得老远了。我得意地笑了,一回头,“啪!”一声,我撞到了别人的游泳圈。“老鹰”见状哈哈大笑起来。哎,聪明反被聪明误啊!……不知不觉我们也变成了清水湖一道亮丽的风景。
时光不会倒流,快乐总是那么短暂。清水湖虽不说世界闻名,但却美如仙境,留给我们美好的回忆。美就在身边,一束阳光,一片树叶都可能给你留下难以忘怀的色彩。
清水湖,谢谢你,你留给了我最美丽的记忆!
您好!
您,是一个传奇人物,带领蒋巷人民创设社会主义新农村——蒋巷村。蒋巷村现在可是繁荣富强。一座座洋楼拔地而起,有许多的大型工厂和农田……可是在这背后,谁能想到蒋巷村以前的狼狈景象。
从老师和家长那我知道,蒋巷村以前是一个贫困农村,经常是“小雨白茫茫,大雨成汪洋”因为地势不好,坑坑洼洼,所以土地无法播种,接着而来的就是传染病盛行,吸成灾,就是这样,许多人都背井离乡……而改变这一切的就是常德盛爷爷您!
在那几年里,您带领蒋巷人民日夜工作,不知疲倦,硬是把海拔提高了一米多,之而铲除了吸虫,解决了地势低洼的问题。之后您就和他们一起建设蒋巷村。中间发生了许多故事,也遇到了很多的困难,可是您信念坚定,不轻易放弃,硬着头皮去解决。
您不但为了村子日夜操劳,而且从来不收别人的礼品。一次,隔壁孙浜村在插秧季节,交不起电费,您得知后,立刻叫人给孙浜村送去两万元,为他们解决了燃眉之急。之后,孙浜村领导带来了一只羊腿送给您,可您却拒绝了,说:“邻村相互帮助是应该的。”然后就把羊腿送了回去。据统计,常爷爷收的礼物总价值共有三万多元呢。您就是“当代的`焦裕禄,活着的孔繁森。”
40年前的“小雨一片白茫茫,大雨屋内成汪洋” 40年前的“穷土恶水吸虫,偏僻闭塞苦地方” 40年前的“河沟坑洼土破碎,住所多为泥草房” 40年前的“十年九涝一旱荒,茅草坟堆遍凄凉” 在您的带领下,如今, 这里“产值连年超十亿,风景如画赛华西” 这里“果木苍翠禽畜满,别墅林立百业兴” 这里“多点开花竞争辉,三业并举名远扬” 这里“闻名遐迩誉全国,现代建设树榜样”。
祝您身体健康!
