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.

自仲尼先生的言论录《论语》问世以来，士大夫们倒是极力推崇，偏偏秦始皇不买账，硬要来个焚书坑儒；泗水亭长刘邦得天下了对孔孟之道还是不怎么感冒，文帝景帝甚至弄出一段太平盛世。汉武帝为何接受董仲舒“罢黜百家，独尊儒术”的建议，说穿了，无非是政治需要而已，一来儒生们压抑得太久不利于稳定，二来老臣们的位置需要调整，三来黄老之学给人民过多的自主，必须重新盖定行为规范，重新制订道德准则，不以规矩，不成方圆。可懂仲舒的`说教虽被武帝采纳，他本人却未得到什么高官厚禄，不过当了十几年地方长官的秘书。提起儒家体系，人们都认为它卷帙浩繁，博大精深，一个人即便皓首穷经，也难窥堂奥。人生不过百年，一种理论需要耗费全部的精力还弄不懂它到底在说些什么，有必要把它佩服得五体投地吗？
十九世纪中叶，西方诞生了马克思主义，它几乎以颠倒的方式阐述建构起一整套独特的世界观和方法论，从《共产党宣言》到被工人阶级奉为圣经的《资本论》，它都是毫不犹豫地宣称要消灭旧制度，建立更加公平更加合理的人类社会。迄今为止，尚没有那种理论能如此贴近最广大的民众，如此关心他们的利益和诉求，可惜，它似乎缺乏某种柔软的韧性，到哪里都有些水土不服。但是，马克思主义仍然是一切权贵者最惧怕的锐利武器，因为它要剥夺的正是他们手中掌握的本应属于人民的权力，这也是为什么马克思主义从它呱呱坠地以来遭到特权阶层嘲笑谩骂诋毁的根本原因。如今的人们，很难想象当初两个年轻人是用怎样的眼光层层剥开覆盖在人类社会生活中种种光怪陆离的面纱，用怎样的精神和毅力告诉人们如何打造理想的家园。如今的人们，似乎很中意达尔文的“物竞天择，适者生存”的自然法则，难道人们不知道这是达尔文对自然界现象的思考？为什么要把这种理论引申到人类社会中来？因为别有用心的人需要用它来安抚弱者！
宋人范仲淹在其名作《岳阳楼记》中说，“处庙堂之高而忧其民，处江湖之远而忧其君。”也许不需要读什么孔孟，也不需要读什么马列，而只要坐庙堂的人忧其民，足矣！

假期出游成了人们释放工作压力的主流。每当说起旅游，不同的.人有不同的想法，有点人认为自助游是第一选择，然而有些人更喜欢跟团游，在我看来，我喜欢前者。
In the first place, if you choose DIY tour, you are capable to select your own itinerary. As we all know, the biggest disadvantage of package tour is that the tourists have to follow exactly the travel agency’s schedule, this is not going to happen to a DIY tour, you are free to stay in the scenic spots as long as you want. If condition permits, self-driving tour would be wonderful, you don’t have to book traffic tickets and wait for time table, you almost can travel to the place whenever you want.
第一，如果你选择自助游，你就可以选择你自己的行程。众所周知，跟团游的最大缺点就是游客必须得遵循旅游机构的安排，这种事不会发生在自助游上，你可以自由地待在景点多久都行。如果条件允许，自驾游是超赞的，你不用买票，也不用等时刻表，你基本可以是什么时候都能去你想去的地方。
In the second place, the case of tour guide force tourists to buy souvenir is always on the news, some of them even use violent to hurt the tourist who are unwilling to buy something. By contrast, if you are in a DIY tour, certainly you don’t have to worry about this problem. It’s your choice to by souvenir or not.
第二，导游逼迫游客买纪念品的事情经常上新闻，有些甚至用暴力去伤害那些不想买东西的游客。与之相比，如果你是自助游，你肯定不用担心这种问题。买不买纪念品是你的选择。
To sum up, given the factors that I have just outlined, it is wise to support the statement that chooses DIY tour when you are going to travel. I’m sure you will be free as a bird.
总而言之，鉴于我刚才提到的因素，旅游选择自助游是明智的。我敢肯定你会自由得像只鸟。
