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.

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!
