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.
“哇,太棒了!”我不禁赞叹道。你想知道这是在干什么吗?告诉你们吧,这是我们学校在举行元旦联欢会呢!走,还等什么呢?一起去看吧!
今天中午,我早早地就来到学校,我的梳妆打扮都完成了,我觉得自己打扮成小白马真是及有趣了!元旦演出开始了,我在台下等待上场,我真想让观众们早点欣赏到我们那英姿飒爽的舞姿。我们的节目《一马当先》终于上台了,当音乐响起时,我们这群“小白马”带着喜庆的笑容,踩着欢快的小马步,给观众带来了马年的问候!大家看了纷纷鼓掌,我们感到好开心!
最热情的表演就是校合唱团带来的《爸爸去哪》,这首热门的歌曲吸引了全校同学也放声跟唱起来……今年的迎新演出就在这欢声笑语中结束了,但我们的节目还没结束呢!
我们又来到班级里举办起美食大聚餐,同学们拿出自己准备好的各种美食,相互分享着,并纷纷向老师们送上自己那好吃的美食,老师们的嘴里塞满了食物,一直对我们说:“谢谢,真好吃!”大家在忙着享用美食的同时,也不忘为自己的小组积高分赢美食冠军!最后我们组得了亚军,我和组员们都感到特别满意!
在这充满节日气氛的聚餐中,我们将迎来更加美好的一年!
今天是一月一日,我们小区楼下举办了一个元旦联欢晚会。
为了能坐着看这个元旦晚会,我连饭都没吃就跑到楼下看演出,结果连一个人都没看到,我就一个人在楼下坐了好久,终于来了一大群人,每个小孩子都化了妆,走到后台去了,后面跟着一大群观众,我先找了一个好位置,想看的更清楚一些,可是我发现不对头了,那些人都找了后面一点的位置,后来我才明白为什么,因为第一个出场的是架子鼓,那声音差点没把我吓死,架子鼓完了以后,就是一些乐器表演了,比如二胡的《赛马》、琵琶的《春江花月夜》还有吉他的《摩天轮晚安》等等,当然最精彩的也是最引人注意的就是抽奖环节了,我旁边的人为了抽到奖也是蛮拼的,把全家人都叫来了,“功夫不负有心人”,在这样一个庞大家族的等待下,他们终于把所有大奖都拿下了,抽奖抽完了以后,他们就回去了,一个偌大的会所顿时就空了许多,我看看时间也不早了,就回家了。
小伙伴们精彩的表演,让原本孤独的我,心情也是极好。
辞旧迎新,眨眼间迎来了我的的本命年,这个学期也快要结束了,我就等着回老家收红包了!希望在这新的一年里可以有更好的表现。
