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.
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong. Because they`re all very kind.It`s a pleasure to work and study with them.I`m really very happy.I`m not an outstanding student in this class,but I can do the same thing like others.I believe I won`t make anyone disappointed.
班头在开学时就放了狠话:高三的你们就是哑巴,谁敢像以前一样,把教室当成花果山,我就,我就——不理你们了。啊?我还修成水帘洞呢!俺们这位班头可是如假包换的火星人,嘿嘿!他老是说俺们90后的火星文没他的好,什么整个一滥竽充数,得了吧,谁比的上你啊,您可是双星文学家啊。那天,刚上完郑和下西洋,大家准备眯一会时,俺们超越大姐就和“宦官”这词较上劲。忽闪着他那戴着800度眼镜都找不到的“大”眼睛,嘟着他那盆大口,问道:歌后,啥是宦官啊!我晕!还没等我张嘴,无敌大姐用他那可以震塌一中教学楼的雌音说道;“不就一太监吗,这都不知道,别告我你和班头一星球来的啊”。他这一叫,吓走了瞌睡虫,气了周公老爷,气来了火星人,“那个耍猴的,你给我出来”看他那眼冒火星的样子,无敌大姐这下惨了。回头看看超越,人家正不辞辛苦的翻字典呢,唉,可真是侮辱了字典老人家,被超越大姐用到了这上面,可惜可惜啊!
教室里是水泄不通,第一排和最后一排的距离哪不牛郎织女还要大,起码人家还有喜鹊搭桥,俺们总不能踩着人头过吧。有时我都在想,等到高考完了的那天,和后面的同学见面会是说:嗨,同学,你叫什么名字啊,我好想自那见过你”。哈哈,有意思,这可正应了那句:世上最遥远的距离,莫过于我在站在你面前,你却不知道我是你同学。
上面提到超越姐喊我歌后,呵呵。这可不是自夸啊,在俺们学校,唱歌我第二,没人敢称第一啊。下了课,大家仍在浴奋战,总会听到“天籁”般的`声音,这时的班长脸被气得亲一块紫一块的:好了,你都是歌后了,咱息会行不,人家唱歌要钱,你啊,唱歌要命,我还想留着小命照顾爹妈了,求您了。呵,这打击够大的。
我要我的滋味,我的高三我做主!
