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.
I read the book of Robinson Crusoe, their captors.
Article describes multiple sailing in the whole island, Crusoe masters of extraordinary survival 28 years experience, strive for survival, show the ingenuity and a man with indomitable perseverance in the face of hardship persistent existence desire, the lonely and eager to rescue the mood. In a lonely island overcome Robinson was done with fear, a savage and said he was "on Friday, they get along with each other, then built on Friday, Crusoe one kind of warm friendship." I also enjoy the disclosure of the business concept: Crusoe each sailing and adventure has clear commercial purpose, with his own property and calculating profit, he will also oneself life the island is his territory, in addition to reveal its economic thought, I admire John Robinson's rich, more learning his strong initiative and spirit of adventure, early efforts, hard work, and perfect kindness thought!

段考是“酸”的。段考前,我们都做好了充分的准备,只为了能有“战场”上全力以赴地去“***敌无数”。可试卷发下来后,鲜红的成绩却是那么耀眼,不禁鼻子一酸,豆大的眼泪从脸上划落,心理酸溜溜的。
段考是“甜”的。段考成绩公布后,当看到试卷上那大大的满分时,不禁高兴得手舞足蹈、欢呼雀跃。庆幸自己几周的`辛苦并没有白费,辛勤的耕耘终于换来了收获的秋天。老师的表扬,同学的羡慕,亲人的称赞,一切都独揽自己的手中。听着这一声声的夸奖,心中不禁一阵喜悦。
段考是“苦”的。试卷上那红鲜鲜的勾与错,看着那些简单的题目,而自己却幼稚地错了,明明自己对了,却因为书写的不整洁,被阅卷老师看错,就犹如哑巴吃黄连——有苦说不出。可考后的这些懊悔,又有什么用呢?世上有后悔药吃吗?这些苦只有沉淀在自己心中,别人永远无法解读。
段考是“辣”的。后,因成绩不如意,拖了班上的后腿,马上就会引来老师与同学的责骂,这一些话犹如一支支箭射在你心上,让你丢尽了脸面,脸上顿时觉得火辣辣的。回到家后,父母也不理解你,指骂,殴打随之而来,打在身上,火辣辣的,心里也很不是滋味。尤其是段考后的家长会,就更如一个晴天霹雳,照在你心头久久不能散去。因为你知道,可能另一场暴风雨也会来临。
段考的成绩有苦也有甜,有酸也有辣。每一个不同的级别就会有一个不同的待遇,段考后,可能你脸上的笑容如一朵花般灿烂,也可能你的脸上挂满了失利的沮丧、懊悔,但是这仅仅是一个开始,我们还有很长的一段路要走哩!成功者,请你们不要骄傲自大,在以后的考试中一步为赢,步步领先。但失败者,也请你们不要失落、沮丧,不要去理他人的嘲笑、讥讽,正所谓“走自己的路,让别人打车去吧”,我相信,哪怕你是蜗牛,只要你肯付出汗水,也一定会迎来阳光般灿烂的春天!
