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.
“如果你有很多钱,你会干什么?”这是一个非常复杂的问题。有人也许想买一辆昂贵的车,还有人想买一栋豪华的房子。或着有人想经营一个公司等。我也有我自己的想法。
If I have a lot of money, I will publish an English book under my name. Maybe I will be famous someday, because everyone will know the fact that I'm good at English.
如果我有很多钱,我会用我的名字出版了一本英语书。也许有一天我会很出名,因为每个人都会知道我擅长英语的事实。
If I have a lot of money, I will help my best friend to set up a training school. Since this is his greatest dream. If I can make his dream come true, I will be very honorable. I will let him be the boss, but I only want to be his assistant.
如果我有很多钱,我会帮助我最好的朋友建立一个培训学校。因为这是他最大的梦想。如果我能实现他的梦想,我会感到很光荣。我会让他成为老板,而我只想做他的助手。
If I have a lot of money, I will travel to various coast cities. As they are facing the sea, I can spend a wonderful time at the seaside. It is said that the seaside is so wonderful and beautiful. The sunrise is glorious at the seaside and surfing on the sea is very exciting. While facing the sea, I can enjoy endless pleasure. How charming it is while feeling the sea wind blowing to us. It's also wonderful to enjoy the beautiful sunshine on the golden beach.
如果我有很多钱,我会去各沿海城市旅游。他们都面向大海,所以我能在海边度过一个美好的时光。据说,海边是非常美丽和美妙的。海边的日出很美,在海边冲浪也很刺激。面对大海,我可以享受到无穷的乐趣。多么迷人,感觉到海风吹向我们的时候是多么的迷人啊。在金色的`沙滩上享受美丽的阳光也是非常棒的。
These are my beautiful dreams. Even though I find it a little difficult to fulfill my dreams, it doesn't matter, because where there is a will, there is a way. I believe I can realize my dreams through my great efforts.
这些都是我美丽的梦想。虽然我很努力去实现我的梦想但是还是有点难度,不过没关系,因为有志者事竟成。我相信我能通过我的努力实现我的梦想。
Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
