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.
在生活里,爱是无处不在的,但是,父母给我们的爱是最多,有的父母的爱是严厉的批评,有的父母的爱是溺爱。我的父亲就是一个严厉的人经常批评我。
记得有一次放假,我来到家里时只见到家里就有奶奶和爷爷,我就问奶奶说:“奶奶,爸爸妈妈去哪儿了。”奶奶说:“你妈和你爸去送货了,可能今天晚上回来。”当我听到这个喜讯时,我立刻跑进了屋里把书包往床上一扔就打开了电脑,我玩电脑玩的连饭都不吃了。光阴似箭日月如梭,很快到了晚上。爸爸妈妈回来了,可是我玩的根本就没有察觉爸爸妈妈的回来,我继续向往前一样接着玩。妈妈因为过于疲劳吃完饭就睡觉了,我心想:“妈妈那么快就睡了,那爸爸肯定也跟妈妈一样。”可是我万万没有想到爸爸吃完饭首先就问我:“这周考试了吗,考了几分,考了第几名?”我自信满满地说:“考了,考了91分,考了第3名。”爸爸听后大声吼到:“怎么考了这么点分,怎么不是第一。”我又说:“够高了,我前几名都是比我聪明的人我根本就追不上他们。”爸爸又吼到:“你再用心些吗,还用考那么点分!”最后,我是在是比不过爸爸了,我就把头低了下来。
In China, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 and is formally known as “the June 1 International Children's Day”.
Schools usually hold activities such as camping trips or free movies on Children's Day to allow students to have fun, and children might also receive small gifts from the government. Entrance ceremonies of the Young Pioneers of China are usually held on June 1 as well. In China, it is a big day for children.
On June 1, except join some activities, their parents also take children to parks or fairground to have fun, and then have a big dinner. In general, McDonald's and KFC are the most popular.
在生活中,父母对我们的爱无处不在,在我身边就发生过这样一件事。
有一次,我考试考的成绩很差,我想惨了,回到家又要被老爸挨批了,嗨!真是没天理呀。一间屋门,就听到爸爸说:“考试考得怎么样啊。”我埋着头垂头丧气的说出了我的成绩,爸爸大声说:“什么,竟然考的那么差。”我就被爸爸的声音吓得退后了几步,我对爸爸大喊:“人生总会有很多次失误,我就失误了这一次,怎么了。”这时,妈妈走过来说:“原谅孩子吧,孩子就失误了这一次,你没失误过呀。”爸爸妈妈开始吵起来,我冲出了客厅跑进了自己的屋里,趴在床上,我听到爸爸妈妈现在正在为考试这件事争吵着,到了学校又一次考试即将来临,过了几天,开始考试了,我回忆起爸爸批评我时对我说的话,做题时必须认真,考完试,卷子很快就批完了,我考的分对于我来说还行,让爸爸看了看,爸爸说:“还行,上次批评你是因为为你好,看见没,批你一顿,现在考好了吧。”我高兴地回答嗯。
我终于明白了爸爸为什么批评我,是因为为了我好。
Tomorrow is June 1 children's day, mother specially bought me the new pencil sharpeners. I like it very much, because it is the shape of the apple, I love to eat apple. It has three characteristics: first, it is not easy broken, second, to save time, the third, energy saving.
