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.
横跨了运河的石板桥是通向集市的入口,桥面上渐渐热闹起来,经过的人有的驾驶了汽车有的步行也有的骑了摩托或是电动三轮,一辆平日里很少见到的毛驴车竟也进入了视线。赶车的是个老人,他叼着旱烟跨坐在车辕上,皱纹很深的脸藏在鼻孔喷出的烟雾里。车厢里的老奶奶怀抱着胖嘟嘟的孩伢子,尚在呀呀学语的小东西张着明亮的眼睛好奇的左右张望。脑门上顶了红璎珞的小毛驴在很卖力的扬着蹄子,几个一脸惊诧学生摸样的半大女孩在追着它用手机拍照。
这时,从远远的地方赶来一个气喘吁吁地小姑娘,她大概十三、四岁的样子,穿着很朴素,一张紫红色的苹果脸,齐眉的留海被风掀开一角,可看到圆润的额头上亮晶晶的汗珠儿。她是步行来的,背了一个看起来很沉重的大背包,大约走了很远的路,黑色布鞋的鞋面上覆满了尘土,身体前倾着,越过石桥径直赶向了人头攒动的集市。
集市就设在小镇的中心街,平坦的水泥马路两旁林立的店铺前一字摆开密集的货架、地摊,小贩的叫卖与商铺扩音机传出的歌曲声交织在一起。南来北往的乡亲看起来都很悠闲,很随意的在自己感兴趣的货摊前停停看看。几个打扮得很时尚的年轻姑娘耳孔里塞了耳机,迈着模特似的步子拐入了就近的时装店。
不知不觉中太阳爬到半中天,气温明显高了许多,已经有人开始把脱掉的外套举到头顶遮挡刺眼的阳光。集市口的僻静处不知何时起聚拢了一圈行人,在好奇的纷纷议论着。人丛里原来是那个背了背包的小姑娘,她在地上铺了一块塑料布,上面摆满了一本本书籍,这些明显经人无数次翻阅过的图书,虽然陈旧但却保存完好。这些书的种类很杂,有国内外的经典名著,类的警句集,指导写作的课外教材,童话大王、民间故事,甚至还有两本已经绝版的连环画。
阳光越来越强烈,站立在太阳地里的小姑娘显得有些局促,她略垂了头,一只沁出汗水的手不停地揉卷着上衣的衣角,眼光避开众人落在身前的书本上,眼神里流露出对这些书籍的钟爱和不舍。
“小姑娘,为啥要把 书卖掉啊?”有人在满怀惋惜的发问。
“我......等钱用......”女孩努力镇定的回答,声音有些发颤。
通过知情人的叙述,大家对女孩的身世有了大概的了解。女孩来自离镇子几公里外的一个下辖村庄,父亲在几年前去世,母亲疼顾女儿坚决不肯改嫁,母女两个就这样厮守着度日。穷人的孩子早当家,她小小年纪便有了大人的摸样,每日很勤奋的帮衬着母亲忙里忙外,虽说苦了点,但母女俩都很快乐。尤其女孩子的学习成绩优异,无形中又给这个残缺的家庭带来了无限希望。女儿欢快的歌声与母亲充满欣慰的笑声就这样在那个植满了月季花的.小院里回荡着。
不出所料的是,女孩很顺利的考取了重点中学,这本来是值得高兴的事,可偏巧这时母亲却病了一场,家里有限的存款都被用来支付了她的医疗费,女孩子的学费便没了着落。依着母亲的意思,学费也不是太多,和亲戚们张罗一下也没什么了不得,等到秋天卖了玉米还给他们不就是了。可女孩却很要强,坚决不同意母亲的主张,故意装作生气的样子对她说:“就怨你这瓜婆子,早不病晚不病用钱了你病!”母亲一指头戳到女儿的额头上,忍不住的笑骂“这瓜女子要造反哪!”可笑归笑,事情还得解决,女孩却并不发愁。在那个漫长又炎热的假期,人们看到一个脸蛋被晒成紫红的小姑娘穿梭在田野里的沟沟汊汊,一镰一镰的打蒲草。这是一项很累的活计,又要下水又要搬运晾晒,即便是成年人做起来也会感觉吃力,可小姑娘却并没有怨言。她一边哼着不成调的歌子,一边手脚不停地忙碌着,实在感觉累了就找处阴凉躺下来,翻开放在河岸上的一本故事书,津津有味的读一回。她也有看着看着便睡着的时候,这时,她就会在梦里见到那美丽又气派的校园,宽敞明亮的教室,耳边响起悦耳的读书声,再仔细倾听怎么又像是鸟儿的吱吱喳喳?朦朦胧胧睁开眼睛,原来是一只花尾巴在耳边聒噪呢。她就会很无奈的叹口气,对着正梳理羽毛的鸟儿说“你呀,这么好的梦让你吵醒了,再做可难了呀!”
离开学的日子是越来越近了,女孩卖了蒲草,可学费还差些。她咬咬牙,下了一个让自己都吃惊的决定,卖书!女孩是个很爱读书的人,不管日子多难,她也会攒下些零用钱用来购买自己喜欢的书籍,日积月累,她的小书箱里早已塞得满满当当了,为了那朝思暮想的课堂,只有豁出去了。
弄清了事情的原委,围观的众人不禁一阵唏嘘,这是多么要强又懂事的孩子啊,为了她的之梦,是不是应当帮她一下呢?
这时,有个老人最先站了出来。他把一张百元钞票塞到女孩的手里。
“孩子,钱你收着,书我不要,你留着自己看。到了学校好好学习,长大了记着为家乡做点事。”
有老人带头,其他人也纷纷把面额不等的纸钞往女孩的怀里塞去。
“拿着,孩子,我们能帮的不多,这是我们的心意,不许不要!”
倍感意外的小姑娘有些不知所措,她呆愣了一会儿,忽然蹲下身子,把地上的书一本本捡起来,努力往众人的手里递过去。
“这些书很好的,你们随便拿!”
人们忍不住笑起来,“你看这孩子,这都是你的!我们不要!”说着纷纷散去了。
太阳升到了头顶,明晃晃的阳光照在小姑娘的身上,她的额头上滚下来一颗汗珠,扑簌簌的掉到一本书的封皮上,那是瑞典女作家塞尔玛.拉格洛芙的童话代表作“骑鹅历险记”。接着又是一颗,哦,那不会是女孩的泪水吧,怎么仿佛看到它向四面张开,开成了一朵美丽的花呢!忽然,她鼓起勇气跑进路的中央,哽咽着向众人的背影深深地鞠了一躬。
“我会的,叔叔伯伯婶婶,你们放心,我一定会好好学习的,一定!"
她把地上的书籍重新小心翼翼放回背包,背起它,走向了远方。

懵懂无知的我刚踏进小学的大门,爸爸妈妈从班主任口中得知我很爱看书,欣喜若狂。无论工作多忙,书的价钱多贵,他们总会抽出时间带我去书店看书、买书。弹指一挥间,我现在已经上五年级了,由于我爸爸妈妈又租下了好几家门市,他们越来越忙,带我去书店的时间也越来越少,基本上一两个月才带我去一次书店,而且每次去就只有短短的一个小时,所以,我只能自己去书店用自己的零用钱买书看。
这天我参加完同学的生日聚会,乘坐出租车回家,原本的目的地是中心站,不料刚刚驶入公路,心里边有了一个声音:“去书店看书吧”!这个声音反反复复在心里念叨。“司机叔叔就在这儿停下吧!”我迫不及待地喊道。下了车我心里一直犯嘀咕,比如:我喜欢的`书卖光了;忘记书放哪儿了……但就没想到会差钱,我清楚地记得我有三十元钱的,却忘了钱已经在司机叔叔兜里了。于是发生了这件尴尬的事儿。走过一排排书柜,我像一个老手一样来到沈石溪的动物小说处,哟!《残狼灰满》,不错,就它啦!当我准备付钱时,才发现口袋空空如也,我一脸的惊讶和尴尬,用无助眼神望向售货员姐姐,好像在请求,好像在哭诉。姐姐禁不住我的苦苦哀求,答应让我卖出10本动物小说,就送我一本。顿时心中的喜悦不言而喻。销售开始了,我像一位熟练的售货员一样,一看到有顾客上门,就满脸笑容地迎上去:“阿姨,看看这本书吧!我看过很不错,很适合孩子看……”
也许,他们认为一个孩子推销书很新奇吧!也许他们认为一个孩子做售书员很能干吧!竟然都买了。
黄昏时分,我终于如愿以偿地推销完了十本动物小说。怀里抱着一本我劳动得来的成果,脚步轻盈地踏上了回家的路。

My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What’s more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.
