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.

一个炎热的夏天,火辣辣的太阳把大地烤得像个大蒸笼,我汗流颊背地走在回家的路上,手里拿着一瓶饮料大口大口地喝着。远处,一群清洁工在勤劳地扫着垃圾。风婆婆好像有意和他们捣乱似的,鼓起腮帮子用力地吹,
“呼——呼——”垃圾像长了翅膀的小鸟在天空中翻腾了一会儿,才依依不舍地掉了下来,纸屑得意洋洋地在天空跳起了芭蕾舞,灰尘调皮地往清洁工们的眼睛里钻来钻去,清洁工们一个个使劲地搓着眼睛,一副皮笑肉不笑的样子,真是狼狈极了。我情不自禁地哈哈大笑,随手把饮料瓶往清洁工面前一丢,一个白发苍苍的老清洁工,对我怒目而视,摇摇头,欲言又止,只得无可奈何地弯下腰捡起了瓶子。我不顾一屑地瞟了他一眼,大摇大摆地走了,心想:哼!清洁工就是清洁工,只配做这些卑微的工作!
回到家里,我笑嘻嘻地把这件事告诉了妈妈,边说还边夸张地比划着那些清洁工狼狈的样子。妈妈听了,脸色变得严肃起来,认真地对我说:“有些人看似平凡,实际上很伟大!你看那些清洁工,他们天天任劳任怨,默默无闻为我们服务,如果……”我不客气地打断了妈妈的`话:“清洁工还伟大?他们做的可是卑微的工作呀!”妈妈摇了摇头,意味深长地说:“你想想看,如果城市没有了他们,将会变成什么样?我们哪有干净的街道?哪儿来的绿色家园?这都是清洁工的功劳啊!有一些人,他外表看似很普通,但里面却蕴含着宝藏!俗话说‘条条道路通罗马’生活中很多事情就是这样,换个角度去看问题,看事物,你会得到不一样的答案!”
没错,有一些人,他外表看似很普通,但里面却蕴含着宝藏!我细细地琢磨这句话,这不是清洁工的品质吗?是的,清洁工是个卑微的工作,是一个没有人喝彩的工作!在人们眼里,清洁工是那么平凡,但谁有想到,如果没有了清洁工,那世界将会变成什么?肮脏、难看……我不敢在往下想了。
俗话说“山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村!”是啊!很多时候我们考虑问题的是顺向的,没有逆向的考虑问题,其实换个角度考虑
喜、怒、哀、乐四个娃娃是亲密的好朋友。
一天,喜娃娃在自己居住的祥云小区里碰到了乐娃娃。喜娃娃问:“乐娃娃,你又碰上什么好事儿啦?说来听听?”“今天哪,我准备去公园的`时候,在路上发现了一个大大的钱包,然后……”乐娃娃还没说完,喜娃娃就插嘴说:“然后你把钱包交给警察叔叔,警察叔叔就表扬了你。对不对?总说这个,你不烦我还烦呢!”“呵呵……说真的啦,行了吧?”“这还差不多。”“今天,我在去公园的路上,突然发现一个蒙面人从一个妇女身边擦肩而过,妇女看了看手提包,突然间大叫一声“啊!”你猜她怎么了?她的钱包不见了!那个蒙面人肯定是个小偷!我可是长跑冠军呀,便立即冲向小偷。不一会儿,我便抓住了小偷,押着他到派出所去了。”乐娃娃绘声绘色的讲述着。“哇欧!乐娃娃,你真的好厉害哦!”“呵呵……没什么啦!这是我应该做的嘛。”
这天,怒娃娃又在自己居住的奥康小区里碰到了哀娃娃。“哀娃娃,你怎么了?”怒娃娃的口气里带着怒气。“呜呜……今天……今天有别的娃娃欺……欺负我……”“你是个男
,布!”“耶!我赢啦!乐娃娃,你选什么?”“诚实。”“嗯,你的偶像是谁?”“我没有偶像。”“再来!石头,剪刀,布!”“好棒,我赢啦!”乐娃娃大叫,“你选什么,哀娃娃?”“勇敢!”“你去打喜娃娃一拳!”“啊,能不能换一个?”“不行!现在是锻炼你的气质的好时机!去!”“唉,好吧。”“啪!”哀娃娃重重地打了喜娃娃一拳。
天色暗了下来,乐娃娃说:“喜娃娃,哀娃娃,我们回家吧?”“好,走!”喜娃娃准备回家。“再见!明天再来玩!”
喜娃娃、哀娃娃、乐娃娃走向不同方向。
春夏秋冬,四个娃娃,他们可爱极了!
春是一个活泼可爱的娃娃,他来到了树林,只见树上光秃秃的,没有一点儿绿色,春娃娃想:如果没有绿色,树枝多难看呀,如果没有树叶,小鸟怎么安家呀?春娃娃越想越着急,他说了声“变”,只见树上呈现出了一片片嫩绿的叶子,小鸟围在他身边好象在说:“谢谢,谢谢。”春天可活泼了,你瞧,小鸟在指挥蝈蝈在演奏,青蛙在歌唱,边小花也在跳舞。春天,你多美丽,你给动物们了生命,你让地球充满了活力!
夏娃娃是个淘气的娃娃,他看见人们游泳时,准会狂叫一声,人们只看见空中一道闪电飞过,又听见“轰轰”天空一下子乌云密布,又一下叫,一阵暴雨下下来,人们只能回家。有时候早上结通通的太阳从东边升起,旁边露出了一道刺眼的金光,可到了下午,人们出去玩时只见天空一下子“翻脸了”,把人们淋成了一个个“落汤鸡”,我对他发火,可他又变晴了,我又想夸他,可他又变阴了……只见夏娃娃正在偷偷地笑呢!
秋娃娃是个好娃娃,他来到果园,拿出化妆盒,刷红了苹果,他又在梨子上亲了一下,又用粉在桃子上打了一下……他让树叶变黄了,有些随着风跳着“舞”飞了下来。他飞过田地,稻穗…..变成熟了,农民伯伯都在说“秋娃娃,我们谢谢你了。”可秋娃娃说:“没关系,没关系,这是我应该做的。”人们用苘做了一些标本做了一些图形,秋天,一切是那么美丽一切是那么和谐,不久,秋娃娃就高兴地回到了家。
冬妹妹来了,他不知怎么的,一直哭个不停,当然,雪也下个不停,科妹妹可爱戏弄人了,他发现人们爱打雪仗,刚好她弄了一个大球,砸到了一个小朋友身上,不用说他已变成了个大雪人,她又把萝卜、扫把、弹珠、围巾、帽子依次放在他身上,他果然成了一个大雪人,你说冬妹妹淘不淘气?
春夏秋冬,你们真可爱!
