每个人都有自己需要感谢的人，我也不例外，我的心里也需要感谢许多人，感谢老师教给我知识，教会我懂得感恩；感谢医生为我解除病痛，给我健康快乐。但是，我最感谢的人还是我的外公外婆。
我的外公外婆每天早晨5点多就准时起床为我烧早饭，6：30准时叫我起床，等我吃完早饭后再送我上学，而他们却总是在送我上学后再吃早饭。那你们知道，我在上学时他们都在干什么吗？他们在做家务：拖地板、擦桌子、洗衣服、买菜……家务事似乎做也做不完，外公每天下午还早早地去学校接我，从没让我等过他。外婆就在家烧晚饭，晚上还要洗衣服……
上面这些事，只是他们每天做的普通事，而下面这件事，足可以证明他们对我的爱有多深：
今年暑假，外公外婆去了新疆玩儿，新疆是他们生活了几十年的地方，那里有许多他们的老战友和亲戚、朋友，本来他们打算在新疆多玩几天，可是，临近9月1日，我快要开学了，他们为了回来接送我，急忙去火车站买票，可是，回来的卧铺票已经卖完了，外公为了我，居然说：“就是坐硬座，也要在9月1日之前赶回来！”要知道，坐火车从新疆到常州要整整两天两夜啊！就算是普通年轻人，也会坐得腰酸背疼的，更何况他们都已经六十多岁了。幸好后来，在亲戚朋友的帮助下，他们买到了卧铺票，在8月31日赶了回来。外公外婆带回了许多新疆特产：新鲜的葡萄、葡萄干、哈密瓜等，这些沉重的东西在外公肩上勒出了深深的伤痕。按理来说，这些千里迢迢千辛万苦从新疆带回来的特产本来都应该给他们吃，或大多数给他们吃，可外公外婆却舍不得吃，大多数都给了我……
在这里，我一定要对外公外婆说：“你们为我付出了太多太多，你们辛苦了！我一定要谢谢你们，长大以后我一定会报答你们的！”

我的外婆对我来说又熟悉，又陌生。熟悉的是我闭着眼睛都能把她画出来；陌生的是她做出的有些事，我一辈子也搞不懂。
我的外婆特别爱唠叨。今年由于暑假里有兴趣班，不能回老家看外婆了。妈妈说开学后外婆就会来，但我毕竟是个“急性子”，才等了两天，就在电话里吵着要外婆来。不过，我也作好了心理准备。因为我又要听唠叨了。
你瞧，一次，我正在津津有味地看我最喜欢的动画片《神兵小将》，外婆走过来，说：“含含，不要看电视太久，绝对不能超过2小时，不要离电视机太近。远点，远点，再远点。”“好了，不要再往前凑了。不要‘好了伤疤忘了疼’。”
“你记得你以前戴眼镜的时候吗？现在被治好了，就不能再犯了。再说你的视力已经0。8了，再不好又要近视了。”“音量调小点，这儿又不是电影院，能听就行了。你知道我们小时候有多苦吗？那时侯……”“好了！”我不耐烦地说，“您总是说您小时侯怎样怎样，我都听够了。”外婆又说：“你不要嫌我唠叨，你只要听话了，好好学习，得取得好成绩，就不用在这儿听我唠叨了……”
又来了！ 我无可奈何地叹了口气。
不过，外婆唠叨也是为了我好啊！要是没有了外婆的唠叨，我会觉得很冷清。
我的外婆还有一个毛病，她想做的事情不管你怎么劝都劝不住，除非你求她，偶尔才会起点作用。比如说这次，她在电话里问我：要带小笼包还是水蜜桃来？我对外婆说：“小笼包太油了，水蜜桃我们已经有了，什么都不用带。”可她还是带回来两箱无锡水密桃。
我的外婆最奇怪的特点就是爱打扫卫生得有些过分了。她刚来的时候，洗好了碗后不是扫地就是擦桌子，忙得不可开交。妈妈叫她去洗澡，叫了好几声都没答应，原来却在擦拭我家厨房的墙角。你要是想叫她出门，得费九牛二虎之力才行，因为我的外婆总是偏偏在出门时整理房间。
外婆总是认为我小，总是让表哥们让着我。
外婆有好吃的东西时，总是先让我挑，可她自己却偏爱吃稀饭。
我爱我的外婆！

Chinese immigrants struggle to hold onto their American dream after the husband's father (Xu Zhu comes for a visit from mainland China and gives a si-mp-le Chinese Medicine therapy called Gua Sha to his grandson.
Da Tong (Tony Leung Ka Fai is the father who is trying to integrate his Chinese cultural beliefs into his daily American reality, especially when dealing with his bo(Hollis Huston and best friend, who is too quick to believe the worst about Da Tong's treatment of his son, Dennis. Da Tong's failures show his confusion about the differences between his original Chinese culture and his new American home. Even within his family there is conflict because Grandfather can't speak English and is excluded from many conversations because Mother (Wenli Jiang wants only English spoken in her home for the benefit of her American born son. Da Tong and his wife are very well educated and understand that their child's best chances for succein America, and for him not to experience the same troubles they've had during the past 8 years, are to speak without an accent. They even go so far as to insist the boy use a fork and knife instead of chopsticks, even when it's obvious they are still eating Chinese style food, served in the normal way: communal dishes for the food and smaller, individual rice bowls for each person. Mother seems a bit inflexible in her insistence on being as American as possible, while Da Tong's cultural leanings are just as strongly Chinese, although not by conscious choice.
Da Tong's love for his son is tested severely when Da Tong tries to balance it against respect for his boss. When Da Tong's son hits his boss' son, Da Tong insists on an apology that seems unnecessary and makes Da Tong look stubborn and uncaring. Da Tong gives his boy a light rap on the head when he refuses to apologize and the boy cries to his mother that the reason he hit his playmate was that the other boy called Da Tong stupid, one of many examples of doing the wrong thing to protect your family.
The conflict arising from doing the wrong thing out of love or respect for one's family or closest friends continues throughout the movie, and every way Da Tong turns, he finds failure and encounters both obvious and subtle forms of anti-Chinese racism. Even Chinese folklore about the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong, that Da Tong incorporates into a video game he designed is used to provoke his pride when he's vulnerable and fearing for the loof his son. Da Tong is misunderstood by everyone, family, friend, and foe, even though he has only the best intentions, and he carries the responsibility quite heavily, ma-ki-ng one wrong turn after another.
Gua Sha (The Treatment shows how a person's cultural beliefs are so deeply set within oneself that it is usually impossible to examine why you do most anything, from how you dreand talk to whom you love and respect and how you show it. The invisible nature of one's cultural beliefs also makes it difficult to impossible to explain yourself to others when questioned. Da Tong experiences an excruciatingly painful and difficult struggle while trying to protect his son, an ordeal that forces him to examine the validity of some of the most vital things he thought he knew about his identity, his Chinese culture, and the new American world he'd chosen as his home.
The movie showed me how normal it is for people to look for ways that their culture is superior to others' and how the misunderstandings arising from different cultural perspectives can seem very large, but can be nullified with si-mp-le, 2-sided explanations when people are willing to listen.
It appears this film is not readily available in the USA, but it's the best I've seen at highlighting the differences between American and Chinese culture. Parts of the movie's dialog are only in Chinese and I've yet to find a DVD with English subtitles, although it's easy to get the gist of what's going on during those short passages. The credits are a combination of Chinese and English, holding true to the integration of both worlds. I've noticed some important roles are not credited here on IMDb, such as Judge Horowitz, who was played by Alexander Barton。

我的外婆今年六十多岁了，她是一位勤劳而慈祥的老人。她有一个好听的名字：叫做碧云。听妈妈说还是诗书满腹的外公帮他改的哩！外婆她黑黑的头发，矮矮胖胖的个子，一双粗糙的青筋毕露的手，是外婆一辈子辛勤养育子女的象征：爽朗的性格也是外婆独特的一面，我们全家上下都很喜欢很尊重很爱她。
在我的记忆中，有一个美丽的木匣子，打开它，一面有许多的珍珠，每颗珍珠都代表着一件有意义的往事：我的童年是在外婆家度过的，在这个纯朴而美丽的城市里，我跟着外婆生活了三四年。在我的记忆里，外婆是个非常疼爱小孩，从来不打骂小孩的老人，记得我在上幼儿园时，有一次在学校跟小朋友闹矛盾了，被老师投诉给了妈妈，对我们要求很严格的妈妈操起竹编子就想抽我，这时外婆一把从妈妈手上夺过竹编，说：小孩子是可以教的，不要动不动就打！结果，我的妈妈乖乖地听她的妈妈我的外婆的话，没有再对我动粗，我也躲过了一次皮肉之苦....
外婆是一个闲不住的老人，她很爱劳动，家务还有做饭可是顶呱呱！每天我放学回来，一丢下书包跑到饭桌前，那里保准摆好了外婆炒得香喷喷饭菜，每天吃饭时，外婆都会把已经挑好了刺，煎得香喷喷的鱼啊肉啊不停地往我的碗里夹，看着我们吃饭好像也是外婆认为最开心的一件事！
外婆还是一个和睦相邻的老人，有好吃的糕点或有趣的事她都会和邻居分享。所以一整条街道的邻居都对外婆赞不绝口.....外婆最爱说的一句话就是：远亲不如近邻嘛！
我知道，外婆的故事多得不胜枚举：我也知道，像外婆这样具有中国传统美德的老人也有很多很多，那么，就让我们这些年轻人来传承这种美德吧！也让我们来共同祝福全天下像外婆这种慈祥、善良的老人健康，平安，幸福，快乐吧！！ 谢谢
