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.
咦,这几天孙悟空不捉怪降魔,跑了英国又往美国,奔到韩国又到夏威夷……到底怎么回事?难道他又和唐僧断绝师徒关系了?
事情是这样的:猪八戒在高老庄勤学苦练,终于学会了各种不同的变法和“猪氏钉耙功”,甚至还看懂了两本无字天书,得到了两件宝贝——九齿钉耙和一朵棉花云。学成后,他接到观音菩萨的指令,准备到“唐三藏处”报到,可不知师父他们现在何处。于是猪八戒用卫星定位仪检测出他们的所在位置,驾着棉花云,找到了孙悟空他们。
猪八戒给大家表演了他所学到的本领。唐僧一看,心想:悟空一路降妖除魔也累了,现在八戒的本领跟他不相上下,我给悟空批个假吧。这不,第二天一早,孙悟空接到8个月的假单,一个筋斗,周游世界去了。而保护唐僧的'任务就交给猪八戒、沙和尚这两位师弟了。这下不仅是孙悟空,就连猪八戒都高兴得直哼哼,他终于有出头之日了。
这下,猪八戒不敢再偷懒了,每天早早地就起来去摘果子,遇上妖怪也毫不退缩。两个月下来,他就打退了黄袍怪、红孩儿、金银兄弟……一次又一次地救出师父。没事时还跟孙悟空上QQ聊天呢!就算再忙,他每天也要发一封电子邮件,请教孙悟空。没过多久,猪八戒就变得聪明了。
这天,师徒三人走在路上,突然,有一个穿着纱裙的女子在喊救命。猪八戒用红外线照了一下,大喊:“是白骨精!” 是白骨精一听,立刻现出原形,抓走了唐僧。猪八戒架上棉花云,一路狂追,却不见白骨精的踪影。他灵机一动,用电子眼搜索到了白骨精的老巢,就驾着棉花云变成了白骨精的样子先进了洞,用降牛十八掌把小妖都解决了。当白骨精抓了唐僧回来,不见人影,知道情况不妙,正想往外跑时,猪八戒来了个倒打一耙,一下就把白骨精打死,救了了师父。
看,他们又上路了……
