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.
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong. Because they`re all very kind.It`s a pleasure to work and study with them.I`m really very happy.I`m not an outstanding student in this class,but I can do the same thing like others.I believe I won`t make anyone disappointed.
听了这个故事,你是否对赵匡胤的言而无信感到愤怒?又是否对大将的不以为意而感到无奈?小学课本上,倡导要做个守信之人,但社会并不是教科书,如果事事都遵循书面语言,人是无法在社会上存活的,社会如同一个丛林,没有哪个人会独自编写丛林的生存法则,但所有的居民心里都有一套,这或许有些冷酷,但却无比真实。
“你家孩子长得太美了”“你的女儿学习这么好,以后肯定会有出息!”“你儿子这么懂事,就等着以后享福吧。”……我打包票,这些话一定被你的七大姑八大姨提及过。长得略有姿色,就说像明星;学习在中游以上,皆称清华北大的`好苗子;实在没有优点,就夸他是个善良的孩子……过年走亲戚,夸人宝典你值得拥有。
恐怕,没人会把以上的话当真,哪怕你是只蛤蟆,也会有人说:“哇!金蟾蜍!”这种说辞虚伪又不走心,但如果实话实说:“恕我直言你的脸像女版赵本山,男版贾玲。”这天儿还有得聊吗?客套话,不招人喜欢,但不可或缺。当然,听了夸奖,难免有些飘飘然,但请克制自己,擦亮火眼金睛——他们的夸奖不是因为你优秀,而是因为你和他们有血缘关系,或是利益来往。
总而言之,你可以厌恶客套话,甚至可以恨不得把说它的人砸成肉饼。但最终必须要笑脸相迎,以客套还客套,接受它,才能维持良好的人际关系,才能保持正常的沟通,换个角度想,这也算是一种夸奖和鼓励呢。正因赵匡胤的豪言壮语,宋军才得以气势大涨,势如破竹,最终使敌人铩羽而归呀。
有些时候,诚实回答倒不如违心赞美。而聪明人的做法就是接受它,运用它,让日常交往更加开心快乐。接受客套话,是每个人长大以后步入社会的第一课。
一张平常照片,一段动人往事,一片母子深情,一路自我反思。母爱不仅洗涤了墨迹,更让“我”懂得了自省、宽容和感恩,平添了对母亲的爱意。文章的构思新意正在于此。不足之处是文中有四处处理得简单了些,语言笼统抽象,心理活动没有充分展开,如果适当添加一些具体描写,让“我”的心理变化轨迹更清晰,更有内涵,那文章就更具有感染力。
