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.
Shanghai Disneyland will be open soon, as the day is so close, there are all kinds of trial run information released. The public is so looking forward to it and they want to have the honor become the first visitors. While after scanning the released information, they feel unsatisfied.
上海迪士尼乐园很快就要开放了,由于距离开放日子是如此的接近,各种各样的试行信息发布了出来。公众是如此的期待,他们希望能有荣幸成为第一批游客。然而在浏览了发布信息后,他们感到不满意。
The first is about the high entrance ticket. According to the average ticket of about 400 RMB, a family always need to pay at least for 3 persons, which means it takes them more than 1000 RMB. It is only the lowest budget for the local visitors, while for the nonlocal visitors, they need to pay for the hotel, which is a great expense.
第一个是关于高价格的门票。根据平均一张门票约400元,一个家庭总是需要支付至少3人,这意味着他们需要支付超过1000元人民币。然而最低的预算只是对于当地游客来说,而对于外地游客,他们需要支付酒店,这是一笔巨大的开销。
The second is the food in Disneyland. The offcial website has listed the price that offered in the amusement park. A beef burger with cheese is 80 RMB, a child-sized hot dog is 60 RMB and so on. Many people think it is such high price for them to pay. In that way, a family only pays for the food will cost more than 500 RMB!
第二个是迪斯尼乐园的食物。官方网站列出了游乐园提供的食物价格。一个牛肉汉堡和奶酪是80元,一个儿童的热狗是60元等等。许多人认为这是很高的价格。这样的话,一个家庭光支付食物就要超过500元!
The trial run of Shanghai Disneyland exposes many problems and the public concerns about the price. Maybe adjusting the price can attracts more tourists.
上海迪士尼乐园的试行反应了许多问题,公众关心的是价格。也许调整价格可以吸引更多的游客。
星期二,舅舅、舅妈带着我和哥哥一起去上海旅游。
我们先来到火车站。我满心欢喜,因为我从来没有乘过火车和地铁。在我的印象中火车还是那种喷气式的、会发出“呜,咔嚓咔嚓”声的样子。可是当我们检完票走进站台时,映入我眼帘的是一列长得望不见尾的火车静静地躺在铁轨上等着我们,像一条银白色的长龙恭候着我们。它的名字叫“和谐号”。三十分钟后,它就带我们到达了闻名世界的地方——上海。
我们乘上了地铁来到了“科技馆”。科技馆的外貌像一个大大的球,它的第一层是“动物世界”,但是所有的动物都是模型或者是标本做成的。我们看到了大大小小、各种各样的蜘蛛,还看到了长得比鸟大的有八只眼睛的大蜘蛛,它最喜欢吃鸟和猴子,好恐怖啊!
我们又来到了二楼的机器人世界。我们看到了会跳舞的机器人,超帅!我和哥哥还跟机器人下五子棋,我们绞尽脑汁也下不过它,我们输了以后它还会用“手”指指我们,然后轻轻地摆摆手,好像再跟我们说:“你们不行啊,要加油啊!”我们只能羞愧地溜走了!
吃完午饭,我们去参观顶天立地的“巨人”——东方明珠。我对它既熟悉又陌生,因为我在以前的语文课本中已经熟悉了它,但从来没有真正看到过它。我们先乘着宽敞的电梯来到了98米高的观光楼。我们先用望远镜看到了金茂大厦,然后去太空舱,太空舱最外围的地板是用玻璃做的,所以踩上去能看到地面,感觉就像站在98米的高空中。我们还去了电玩楼,玩得兴高采烈。
吃过晚饭,我们来到外滩散步。夜幕降临,明月东升,到处都是流光溢彩,街道边还有优美的各种风格的欧洲建筑,啊,美丽的上海,我陶醉了!

暑假里,我来到了美丽的上海,到处参观,我们参观了好多地方有:有上海博物馆、锦江乐园等等。其中,让我记忆犹新的是去锦江乐园体验惊心动魄的娱乐项目。
这天早晨,我们乘坐地铁来到了锦江乐园。一进园内五花八门的游乐设施展现在我们眼前。有“摩天轮”、“激流勇进”、“云霄飞车”等等。首先,我们来到了挂着“云霄飞车”的牌子的入口排队,这时,已经挤满了人,我们费了好大的劲儿才挤进去了,我想:这应该非常好玩,不然怎么能吸引这么多的人呢?我们耐心的等待着,慢慢地向前挪动,终于,轮到我们了,我兴奋地走向座位,想好好地体验一下这种刺激。我系好了安全带,等待着机器的启动。这时,从一个广播上传来了倒数计时声:“10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1。”这时,我的心情好比十五只吊桶七上八下,以为就这样冲出去,可是这列“车”竟然没有飞速前进,而是慢悠悠地向上爬。
我好奇地往下一看,啊,竟然离地面这么高,我不禁毛骨悚然。我深吸了一口气,来缓解我那紧张的心情。突然间,这辆“车”在最顶端停了下来,这时,我心里有种不祥的预感。果然不出我所料,这列“车”慢慢地向下滑落,渐渐的,滑落的速度越来越快,顿时失去了重心。我感觉我的心就要蹦出来了,突然,耳边传来了一些人的大喊声、尖叫声。这时又来了个“翻跟斗”,顿时天悬地暗,似乎地球没有了地吸引力了。终于,这列“车”终于缓缓地停了下来,我不由得舒了一口气,一下“车”,我踉踉跄跄地走向下个地点游玩。
接着,我们又玩了晕头转向的“旋转飞车”、让人措手不及的“自由落体”、风景尽收眼底的“摩天轮”……不知不觉中,已临近了傍晚,我们只好恋恋不舍地离开了锦江乐园。
