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.
The Role of Mobile Phone in People's Communication
The popularity of smartphones has exerted great influence on the way people communicate, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contend that face-to-face communication is being replaced by texts and images on the mobile phone.
There are more than one angle to consider this phenomenon. On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even people from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with people's real-life communication. Statistics show that over 70 percent of face-to-face communication consists of facial expressions and body language, which is why people should stay away from mobile phones when they have the chance to actually talk and communicate with others.
In a word, mobile phones act as an appropriate platform where people can always stay in tough however long the distance is, but a wise man should know when to put down his phone.

这八天的校园生活,可以说,它既给我带来了快乐,但是,它也给我带来了悲伤!
在星期一的下午,我依旧在写着英语作业,这个时候,一道题,使我陷入了久久地沉思中……时间一分一秒的过去,我还是浸在这道题的海洋中……这时,我想起了她——我的`英语老师!
于是,便打算和朋友去问题,可是,老师还在她的班级,不出来,没有办法,只到站在走廊里面等待着……
天空渐渐地黑了下来,我和朋友有一些无聊,便开始说笑,玩耍,打闹,正当她把我从教室里推出来的时候,英语老师从她的班级里出来了。
当我看到了寇老师,心里便开始紧张了起来,一串串问号马上蹿到了我的脑中:“完了完了,我和朋友玩耍,肯定让寇老师看到了,她会不会说我呢?会不会……都是xx推我,不然才不会……”想到这里,我迅速跑回了班里,马上把朋友拉了出来,想趁现在去问题,可是,老师已经到了办公室。
没有办法,我们只好向办公室走去,一路上,我们是打打闹闹地来到了办公室。没有想到,到了办公室门口,我们又开始议论,让谁先进办公室,最后,朋友没有任何办法,只好先进了。
一进办公室,老师为我们讲解完我们的问题后,就对我们说:“这两个人可在班里面玩儿好了,现在就开始笑呀!看看!笑的!”老师一边笑,一边对我们说。我和朋友都不约而同的笑了起来。
可是,在第二天发生的事情,让我永远都无法忘记。
那天下午,我和朋友照旧去问题,这次是朋友有不懂的题。
到了办公室,老师为我们讲题,还时不时地问我们一些问题,可是,也不知道为什么,平时那些我都会,怎么一到这里,全部都忘了?可能是紧张的原因吧!寇老师见我们半天没有回答,就对我们说:“哎呀!我真想一人揍你们一下!”而且,她的表情,不是生气的表情,虽然是笑着说的,但是,可以看出,她简直是无可奈何,连这么简单的问题,都回答不上来,老师能不这样嘛!
当我们走出了办公室,寇老师又突然对我们说:“学过的东西都忘地光光的!”我和朋友听后,都不好意思的笑了。
开学后的这两件事情,我永远都不会忘记,因为,老师这样做,都是关心我们,我不会辜负您对我们的期望!
Bicycle is a convinient means of transporation. It has been very popular in China. During the rush hours, particularly in big cities, you can often see a sea of bicycle riders in the streets. People can ride bicycles to their working places, to schools, to shopping centers and so on. In a word, bicycles play an important role in daily life.
Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. Firstly, they are not so expensive as cars and almost every family can afford to buy and repair them. Secondly, riding bicycle is a healthy form of exercise. They do good to our health. Thirdly, bicycles can save energy and does not cause any pollution, while cars will cause serious air pollution, which makes the air in our living place very dirty and makes a lot of people suffer from lung cancer. As we all know, China is a country with a large population. Ifeach family has a car, a large amount of energy would be wasted and air pollution would become more and more serious. Finally, most Chinese people don’ t live far away from where they work or study, it is convenient to ride bicycles. I think that is why bicycles are used so much.
Bicycles are so popular in China that China is often referred to as the kingdom of bicycles. I hope more and more people can ride bicycles in order to make our planet better and cleaner.
自行车是一种方便的交通工具。它在中国非常受欢迎。在高峰期间,尤其是在大城市,你可以经常在街上看到自行车骑手。人们可以骑自行车上班,学校、购物中心等等。总之,自行车在日常生活中起着重要的作用。
与汽车相比,自行车有许多优点。首先,他们不是很昂贵的汽车,几乎家家都能买得起和修理它们。其次,骑自行车是一种健康的运动。他们对我们的健康有益。第三,自行车可以节约能源,不会造成任何污染,而汽车会造成严重的空气污染,使我们生活的地方的空气变得非常脏,使很多人患有肺癌。我们都知道,中国是一个人口众多的国家。如果每个家庭都有一辆汽车,就会浪费掉大量的能源,而且空气污染会越来越严重。最后,大多数中国人不远离他们工作或学习生活,骑自行车很方便。我认为这就是自行车在中国大量使用的原因。
自行车在中国如此受欢迎,中国通常被称为自行车王国。我希望越来越多的`人可以骑自行车为了让我们的地球更好的和更清洁的。
