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.
一到乐园我就看见大大的拱形的瀑布,瀑布下有一条通道有雨篷遮着,我钻进去跑了两个来回,身上都是水。
接下来我看到了电子遥控船,我玩了三次,一开始我不太熟悉,一直在撞别人的船,还撞到岸边开不出来;第二次有点熟悉了,不再撞河岸了,可还是总和别的小船撞,影响了我的速度;第三次我已经很熟练了,我不但能控制住不被别的船追尾,还能故意去撞别人。
开完船,我来到青蛙跳。那边排队人少,我玩了四次。第一次因为我从来没玩过,排队时就有点紧张,坐上弹跳蛙我心里只想着会不会掉下来,也顾不上和爸爸妈妈说话,一脸严肃的坐好。游戏开始了,我紧紧的抓住栏杆不敢放手,青蛙升起的时候我不怕,但下降的`时候就好像一屁股做空了,爸爸告诉我那是失重的感觉,青蛙突然停在了半空中,我往下看,看到爸爸妈妈在向我挥手,好高啊。游戏很快就结束了,我发现没有想象中那么恐怖,还挺刺激的。我马上再去排队,还是坐在老位置。这回我感觉比第一次好多了,不太害怕,手也不再紧紧的抓住栏杆,很轻松,也看到周围有很多人拍照了。很快到了第三次,我更轻松了,脚不再一直僵硬,也可以在半空中动来动去了,手也只有在下降时才抓栏杆,上升时还能挥挥手,在半空中还能做做鬼脸呢。最后一次了,我换了个位置,感觉根本就没有什么可害怕的,上去时我闭着眼睛,下去时我睁开,仔细欣赏周围的风景,很休闲。一会儿又结束了,我还想玩,可妈妈说我答应过这是最后一次,说到要做到。
我们继续往前走,玩了过山车、碰碰车、小小世界、缆车还有丛林枪战。一天很快就结束了。我们该回家了,再见苏州乐园,下次见。
一年一度的“苏州乐园啤酒节”开幕了。爸爸妈妈带着我和哥哥来到了这里。在这里一段的马路上已经停满了车子。来到大门前,,人群熙熙攘攘,人山人海,热闹非凡。
刚进门就听到一阵敲锣打鼓的声音,一个露天的舞台,两侧是舞台灯光,前面围了一群又一群的观众在看。我继续向前走,闻到一股类似烧焦的味道,原来是小吃街上送来的。那是阿拉伯烤肉,这是海南椰子,还有……这个阿拉伯烤肉闻上去好像有一股怪怪的味道,但或许吃起来好吃吧!
我们一行人在乐园里漫步着,周围的行人一簇又一簇,不时地听到小孩的欢闹声,夜色中相机的闪光灯一亮一亮,远处传来悠扬的歌声,弥漫在人海中。
我看到了一个好玩的项目叫豪华波浪,就去参加了。人还真多,排了一排又一排,等了半个小时,就轮到了我和哥哥。我开始有一些害怕,因为看上去转得很快,不过坐上去就好多了。我坐在上面感觉就像长出了翅膀,像一只小鸟自由自在地飞向未来的天空。下来时我只有一点点的头晕,还满舒服的呢!
还有一个印象深的项目是“夏威夷巨浪”。这个项目在小池塘上面,游戏器械上面可以坐两排人,哥哥说:“这个比刚才的刺激多了!玩吗!”我跃跃欲试,但又有点怕。我又想:这只是一个挑战嘛!又不会掉下来,就当是心理上的考验吧!我勇敢的坐了上去,“呜——”的一声,机器向上,一会儿向左,一会儿向右。特别是机器向下时,我的心特别难受,似乎心还在上面,可人却在下面,胸闷得呼吸不过来。下来时我看见一个大哥哥还在呕哩!我还不错吧!
当我们一行走出苏州乐园出口时,天空中传开来了“嘭,嘭”炮声,原来开始放烟花了!灿烂的烟花把夜空装扮得花枝招展,美丽极了!我们度过了一个多么美好的夜晚!
国庆节,我和爸爸妈妈一起到苏州摩天轮乐园游玩。
坐在汽车里,从很远的地方就可以看到那高大威武、直入云霄的摩天轮,据说它的直径达120米。听得我汗毛直竖。
排队时,我又哆嗦起来,心里像十五个水桶打水——七上八下:“这怎么行呢?万一掉下来怎么办?”爸爸安慰我说:“不要怕,摩天轮仓是由飞机的材料做成,得到严格的安全检查,会保证我们的安全。”我这才稍安定下来。
终于轮到我们了,我小心翼翼地爬了进去,机舱缓缓上升,我的心也悬到了半空中,小脚也情不自禁地在打晃,整个头都有些晕乎乎的。到了最顶端,我深吸一口气,往下一看,哇!下面排队的人群像一群忙碌搬家的小蚂蚁,五颜六色的汽车好像在缓慢爬行的甲壳虫,远处蜿蜒的高山变成了绿色的火车,金鸡湖被我们踩到了脚下,湖中岛屿形态在我们眼前也掀开了神秘的面纱。我放眼远眺,整个苏州城尽收眼底,往日高楼大厦变成了玩具积木,仿佛置身在美丽的童话世界中。高山、湖水、白雾、绿树,真让人心旷神怡啊。
“飞机”逐渐下降,高山、大厦也恢复了往日的帅气,在它们面前,我们却又变成了“小矮人”。
通过这次游玩,我领略了高科技发展带给我们无穷的乐趣。我明白了:人外有人、天外有天。让我们共同努力学习吧,一起创造这个美好的家园!
