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.
亲爱的爸爸:
您好!
您知道吗?您一年到头都在外地打工,为我们一家挣来那得之不易的血汗钱作为生活费,可是钱回来了,却不见你的人回归家里啊!
去年,您好不容易从百忙之中抽空回家,我高兴地为您打开门时,却被一个我从未见过的景象惊呆了:您的身上沾满了灰尘,手上还有石灰留下的印子,在咳嗽声中,你伸手拍了拍身上的水泥,这些水泥是从工地上带下来的,它们是些害人精,沾了水泥的皮肤通红的,也是身上痒的原因。
您的这个形象让我在大脑中构建出了您在工地工作的样子,可您还高兴地说工地是您挣大钱的地方。我心中想:这哪里是挣大钱的地方呀?这分明是一个害人的地方!您进了屋,高兴地在家里转来转去,时不时还伸手去抓痒,我在旁边看着,真心疼啊!
您还有一个坏习惯,我真希望你可以戒掉,那就是爱打麻将!
以前您在家时,一有时间就去打麻将。早上起了床,第一件事就是去打麻将,中午回来吃过饭后,又去接着打,晚上吃了饭后还是去打麻将,一直打到晚上十二点左右才回来。就在去年,你去打麻将,一打就是十二个小时啊!望着您那黑黑的眼圈,我真希望世上没有麻将这个害人的东西,在这里,我想问一下你在外地还有没有打麻将呀?
我希望您可以早点回来,并改掉打麻将这个坏习惯。
祝
万事如意,身体健康!
您亲爱的儿子:xx

亲爱的爸爸:
您好!
夜深了,我坐在灯下给您写信。
春节过后,您就离了我到新疆去打工了,我十分想念您。您现在身体健康吗?工作顺利吗?生活愉快吗?
我知道你是多么地疼爱我呀!我睡觉老是不会睡,经常是睡着了就把被子蹬到一边,冻醒了才知道。你在家的时候,经常给我盖被子,睡觉从来没被冻着过。每一年春节,你都会从遥远的新疆赶回家来看我们。
每次都会给我买三、四套漂亮的衣服和许多新疆的特产,有葡萄干、哈密瓜等。你经常问我的学习情况,只要我想买课外书,你就一定让我满意的。有一次,我考试成绩下降了,我非常着急,担心你会责骂我的。可你知道了,只是轻轻地说:“这次考差了,没关系的,下次认真一点就行了。”
我还想告诉您:我们家的大狗下了三只可爱的小狗,我知道你非常喜欢小狗,我一定会把这三只小狗养得肥肥的,你过年回来看见了一定会很开心的,顺便带一只到你的身边,让它陪伴着您。
我和弟弟都很乖,学校老师和同学们都很喜欢我们。爷爷奶奶身体也很健康,我也会照顾他们的,您就安心地工作吧,不用担心。您在外边不但要照顾好自己,还要照顾好妈妈哟。您要代我向妈妈问声好。爸爸、妈妈,我爱你们。
祝您一切都好!

两节课后,试卷发下来了,我竟然是八十分,真是太不可思议了,明明昨晚复习的好端端的,怎么会考成这样?!回去要挨老爸的竹笋烧肉了。我只能强装笑颜,其实心里已是万念俱灰。回家的路上,奶奶一个劲的数落我,回到家又被爸爸妈妈呵斥。灰头土脸的我有种无颜面对江东父老的感觉。
我痛定思痛,认真分析了每个错误点并一一订正。我暗下决心,今后一定要努力学习、全面复习,跟“认真”、“细心”做朋友,争取获得好成绩。
