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.
又一个静谧的夜晚,柔和的月光照在大地上,一切都被月光笼罩。耳边,风缓缓地吹着。我坐在门边不停地叹息,手中的织布机也停了下来。风好像在说:“木兰,你在想什么?你在思念什么?”我默默地说:“我没想什么,也没思念什么。”可我依旧坐在织布机旁思考。昨天晚上,父亲受到了天子寄来的征兵文书,打破了我们平静的生活。我知道,皇上又要征兵了,那么多卷文书,都有父亲的名字,好像在催促父亲赶快出征。我心想:唉,年迈的'父亲没有大儿子,姐姐也要疾病缠身,难道要让年幼的弟弟代替父亲出征吗?该怎么办才好啊!唉——看来只有我代替父亲出征了!我将决定告诉了爹娘。爹沉默不语,低着头;娘听了,眼泪一下子涌了出来:“你可是女子啊,木兰!你怎么能从军呢?”我心意已决:“娘,你不用说了!我会女扮男装的,这样不会有人发现的!”母亲见我坚决的样子,也不再说什么,擦了擦眼角的泪水:“你自己可要小心啊!”我点了点头:“我会的!明天一早我就去集市买马具。”“爹娘,其实我也舍不得你们啊!不过现在只有这一个办法了。我怎么可能让年迈的爹和年幼的弟弟上阵***敌呢?”我在心中默默地说。
第二天清早,我跑遍了东西南北四个集市,买齐了骏马、马鞍、马鞭等物品。我匆匆回到家中,整理好包袱,便和爹娘辞行。我强忍住离别的伤痛,不让自己流下眼泪。我知道,我越伤心,他们就会越担心,我必须让他们放心。我骑上骏马,一甩马鞭,马儿便飞驰起来。傍晚,当我来到黄河边,已有了丝丝凉意。忽然,我好想听见爹娘在叫我,不,那是幻觉罢了!这里只有黄河流水的哗哗声。第二天早晨我又向黄河辞行,继续赶路。傍晚,我到达了黑山头。我坐在草地上,望着那皎洁的月亮,听着燕山胡人战马那嘹亮的叫声,只感到一片片凄凉!我只有奋勇***敌,保卫好我的国家,才能早日见到爹娘啊!
金秋时节,丹桂飘香,风景宜人。走进九峰公园,闻到了沁人心脾的桂花香味,看到了桂花串串盛开的美景,听到了“啧啧”的赞叹声。人们有的抬起头,有的伸长脖子,有的踮起脚,有的伸长手臂,有的拿起照相机拍摄下来,细细品赏。
九峰公园内有桂花四五百株,其中树龄达到一二百年就有几十株,是名副其实的赏桂基地。每逢金秋时节,赏桂就成了黄岩人们最期待的乐事之一,“九峰公园桂花开了没?”自然而然也就成了最流行的一句话。由于桂花对温度和湿度非常敏感,花期又与秋季降温有关,上阶段气温偏高,而现在这种白天阳光充沛,早晚凉爽湿润的天气十分有利于桂树的营养积累,也易促使雨露形成,桂树随之加速开花,因此今年开花要比去年晚半个月左右。
李清照称桂花树“自是花中第一流”,真是名不虚传。瞧!金桂橘红,银桂淡黄,那一串串、一簇簇的小花在柔风中推摸着,拥挤着,交头接耳,那神态,就像一群挤在窝边叽叽喳喳挣食的雏燕,朵朵迷人的小花,从叶子里伸出迷人的小脸蛋,东瞧瞧,西望望,好象看见了什么新鲜事儿……它能激发情思,给人以无穷的遐想。
