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.
我试着谦虚点,但是做不到。
我要他终身进大牢,一定要让他加倍奉还。
但我妈妈说过,不要轻言放弃 But, like Mom always said, don't ever give up.
芳子:有时候放弃,也许是最好的选择。
有一些人会一直扛着很重的思想包袱,外面的世界充满危机感,回到火场里又要面临一种压迫感。我一直怕在浓烟里出现,在浓烟里脑子里会闪现出很多在乎、想做、遗憾的感觉,迷失自己的真正方向,想要逃避。

草船借箭,最重要的是配合
No, no, I didn’t mean with me 不,不,我不是指和我。
我之所以爱音乐,是因为它让每一个平凡的瞬间,都充满了意义。
在《中国好歌曲》这个大舞台上,每一首歌都是独一无二的,都凝聚了音乐人的心血。原创歌曲最能体现出一个人的内心感受。如果唱的不是自己写的歌,把歌唱到极致,那是他的唱功好;但如果能唱自己写的歌,那才是唱出了歌的最高境界——心中的意境。
歌曲这种东西容不得任何人去做任何剖析,只能细细品味。《中国好歌曲》这个舞台上,让我记忆最深刻的有两首歌,一首是《画》,另一首是《鸟人》。就说那首《画》吧,“为寂寞的夜空画上一个月亮”,一句充满幻想的歌词。孰不知,在那歌词的字里行间都流露出赵雷——这首歌的原创作者,写歌时的忧伤。在人生最低谷处写歌,往往能写出、唱出发自内心的高贵的声音。这种声音拥有巨大的凝聚力,将作词作曲者的感情汇集起来,使其成为一个整体,并毫无保留地展现出来。它深入到人们心中最敏感的地方,任何人都会为之赞叹。
《鸟人》,一首借物抒情的、展望未来的歌,“要么飞,要么坠落,这是生命的规则。”是它最具有代表性的歌词。表面上是描写鸟不得不飞的无奈,仔细想想,人不也是如此吗?只有不停前进,才能生存。一旦失误或怠慢,就会坠落,到最后或许是死路一条。人生在世,不过匆匆数十载,犹如逆水行舟,不进则退,努力是唯一的方法。
歌曲,不敢说是天下最好的抒情方式,但不可小视它的力量。人们翻唱了那么多好歌,却永远唱不出原创的感觉。因为原创的歌曲蕴含着原创歌手内心深处的真情实感,在歌手们埋头写歌时,情感就已经寄托到了歌词、歌曲之中。
