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.
尊敬的沈老师:
您好!
您或许不明白我为什么给您写信,我是来向您表示感谢的。沈老师,我得感谢您这几年以来对我的关怀。
您虽说没有像爸爸妈妈那样含辛茹苦的抚养着我们,看着我们渐渐长大,但您还是给了我们许多温暖,有一件事我到现在还记着呢!沈老师,不知道您还记不记得。去年,一个阳光明媚的日子里,我们刚升完国旗,您突然说要数学单元测试,说完,您就去办公室拿试卷。听到这消息,原本安安静静的教室立马变得吵吵嚷嚷,同学们一下子就炸开了锅:有的同学坐在座位上快速的阅读着书,有的同学安安静静的坐在位子上,心有成竹的等您来,有的同学则在桌上做着深呼吸。我数学可不好,也和大部分同学一样,像热锅上的蚂蚁——急得团团转。
我连忙从抽屉里抽出一本本子,翻开第三单元开始看了起来。谁知,您一点也不给我们复习的时间,一会儿就拿来了卷子,开始给我们每一个组发卷子。一拿到卷子,我就目瞪口呆,简直呆的不能动了。哎呦喂,这试卷基本应用的第一大题的第一小题就把我给难住了。是二,是三,还是四?我在草稿本上演算了好久,用了三页才得到了答案,原来是十八呀,这时,我的同桌楼上半面都快写完了。我和同桌一比,才知道自己为了一道题花了半天功夫,和同桌一比我更知道,我应该加速了,于是我加快了写字的速度,心里的答案随着笔尖扬扬洒洒的映在了纸上,我已经不管做的题目是对还是错的了,只要做完就行了。时间慢慢的过去了……“叮铃铃,叮铃铃”一阵清脆悦耳的下课铃打响了,我也刚好做完了最后一道聪明题。终于到下午了,上午我一直在忐忑不安。
您批完了试卷,抱着一大张试卷朝我们走来,此时,我的心更加忐忑不安了,您不说话,简直无声胜有声啊!我有一点感到不安了,咦?发到卷子的同学的脸色怎么一个比一个难看啊!我不会也很差吧!过了好久,才发到我,我看了一眼试卷,马上捂住试卷,怕被别人看到,只见我的卷子上写着三个大大的,很刺眼的“不合格”几个字,在您讲评时我还捂着卷子呢!您讲的内容,我什么也没听到,一心想着为什么会错这么多。
下课了,我因为什么也没听懂便来问您,您十分耐心的对我说:“全忱,没关系的,这只是一次小小的单元测试,你这次考不好,你只要记住,不要在同一个地方绊倒两次,成功是有许多个失败组成的,加油,下次你一定会考好的!”您又不顾刚才讲课的辛苦,来给我讲我不会的题目,我真的是好感动啊!那天,我把您跟我说过的所有话都紧紧的记在了脑子里。
沈老师,再次谢谢您,感谢您不辞劳苦的给我讲作业,我们一定会努力学习,天天向上,成为祖国的花朵,我们永远不会辜负您对我们的期望。
祝您身体健康。
