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.
Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
过年那会儿,我家被慷慨大方的亲戚们“喂”得一日更比一日肥,这次轮到我家“喂”他们了。
天一亮,我就被母亲逼起来去饭店点菜。“庐州太太”是一个别具一格的饭店。墙上挂着它的成长经历,地上铺着一条绣着金边的红地毯。大厅内干净整洁,物品多而不杂乱。虽是老店但看有出岁月留下的痕迹。来往的服务员衣着简朴,细看又带着华丽,脸上带着自然的微笑。除了正厅还有一间间小包厢,其中一间包厢配备着卫生间,摆放着大大的米色沙发,沙发有两个四四方方的靠垫,沙发前的茶几上摆着烟灰缸,包厢里空荡荡的,这是我钟爱的`一间,可大人们却选了一间分成两间的包厢。
那个包厢的两个小房间被一道厚实的木头移动门隔开,有点拥挤,设备也很是简单,放了一个小型沙发,不如我喜欢的那间。我坐在座位上东张西望,一会儿又跑来跑去地参观。“馋猫”表弟捧着菜单口水直流地点着菜:“我要沙拉小牛肉!对了,我个好吃,那个入味,我都想吃!”妈妈也在一旁津津有味地点着菜。过了一会儿,木门被推开,舅妈带着两周多的小宝贝宣梓灵走了过来,小宝贝走得摇摇晃晃,短短的头发随风摇摆,瞪着一双充满不情愿和稚气的眼睛,原来是因为早起了而生气。弟弟一见到她,立即就笑着逗她玩,小宝贝也绽开了笑脸。
接着又传来一声门响,服务员端上了汤菜,我们开始享用汤。还没品完,服务员又端上一盘蒜蓉大虾。我两眼放光,以迅雷不及掩耳之速冲到了盘子前,夹了十几个,又冲回座位,美美地尝起来。迅疾如风的服务员又端上几盘可口的佳肴,我顾不上碗里没吃完的虾子,左夹一个右夹一个,全塞到嘴里,嘴包不下了就放在碗里。旋转桌转得太慢,看着别人把食物夹走,我心里就忍不住地痒痒,不住地埋怨桌子蜗牛般的转动速度。“吃货”表弟也在和我竞争,这不,一盘紫薯南瓜圆子几回合下来就被他洗劫一空。我打算最后清理碗里的美食,眼尖的表弟看见了肥嫩多汁的牛排,凭借优越的地理位置,把牛排一点一点地送进嘴里,只留下了寥寥无几的几个小的给我。我俩就这样争来抢去,肚子斗得两败俱伤。面对着碗里盛着的菜塔,我只能过一会儿吃一点儿。而弟弟则用心地逗着小宝贝,我刚一逗她,她就跌坐在地咧着嘴哭,哄了几次都不管用。百般无聊的我只好边吃着碗里的冷食,边羡慕着讨得小宝贝欢心的表弟。
嫉妒总是消散地飞快,我又开始聚精会神地玩着手机,踏上了回家的旅途。
泸州城市建设发展极快,一幢幢高楼大厦拔地而起,高速公路,铁路全面开通.宽阔的柏油马路上汽车川流不息,绿化带随处可见.一个个漂亮的住宅小区更是鳞次栉比.大小超市内的商品琳琅满目,令人目不睱接.到处是繁荣昌盛的景象.连我爸爸妈妈这样的三口之家也买了100多平方米的'新房子.房内装饰朴实整洁,新式家具,七彩电视,适用的微波炉,精美的电风扇和空调……那洁白无睱的墙壁被渲染成了五颜六色,美极了.最令我得意的便是我的新助手—电脑了.电脑刚买来时我就迫不急待地让爸爸妈妈教我怎样使用.不久我便和它交上了"朋友".它的功能真多,我已能在屏幕上画画,上网,打字,玩游戏了……好爽啊!爸爸告诉我,网上内容缤纷多彩,可以查阅学习资料,网上购物,网上聊天和朋友交流,真称得上是信息高速路.说实话,你可别告诉老师哟,到了周末只要做完作业我还在电脑上玩电脑游戏呢,可真是轻松舒适啊!
泸州不仅城市建设和人们生活在飞速变化,在我眼中连我们家里的长辈们也发生了很大变化.自改革开放后,国家每月给老人提供足够的社保金,老人生活有了保障,他们过得丰衣足食.以前他们也许担忧着自己老了儿女不孝顺,不能给自己养老送终.现在好了,国家经济发展了,百姓生活水平提高了,各地修建起了养老院,老人们的生活变得丰富多彩了.我姥姥退休后上了老年大学呢!在老年大学里学健身操,民族舞蹈,学电脑,在泸州市举行的老年人舞蹈比赛时还得了集体一等奖呢!瞧我姥姥,她双眼炯炯有神,精神抖擞,仿佛寻回了三十年前的青春.我姥爷呢每天的《华西都市报》是不放过的,中央电视台的新闻联播是要看的,单位给他订的《晚霞》杂志每期都要认真学习.正像他经常说的,国家的事要关心,世界的大事要了解.有时他还和同辈们打扑克牌游戏—拱猪.快活极了.最近,姥爷,姥姥还参加旅游团,自费去北京旅游观光呢!你说城市变化大不大.
我的家乡泸州美丽富饶,人们丰衣足食,正迈着大步奔小康.我们青少年也正努力学知识,准备长大成为祖国的栋梁,把祖国,家乡建设得更好.相信不久的将来,泸州会更美.

白塔又名报恩塔,位于市区商业二街。建于南宋绍兴十八年(1184年),明弘治年,清光绪十四年、1983年以及1985年均有维修,迄今保存完好。塔坐西向东,砖石结构,双檐七级楼阁式,通高33。2米。塔身呈八边形,层层上收,周围还浮雕着石刻造像,人物线条流畅,栩栩如生。这座塔为泸南安抚使冯楫为报母恩而建的。每当夜晚来临,白塔四周的灯光放出光芒,整个白塔显得美丽壮观。真不愧是妈妈说的那句话:白塔的夜晚比白天漂亮多了! 看着为报母恩而建的白塔,心潮澎拜,从几百年前的泸州劳动人民就非常推崇中国的传统美德“孝”,从而沿席到今,到以后,激励着善良的泸州人民奋发向前。
美丽的泸州是我可爱的家乡,这里不仅有风景优美的景点,还有勤劳善良的人们在不懈努力,建设泸州,改造泸州,明天我们的泸州将会更美好!我深深地爱着你——我的家乡泸州。
