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.
记得在我小的时候,爸爸妈妈一见到熟人,就会朝人家笑笑,再说一声“你好”或吃过了吗?我每每看到爸爸妈妈这样,就会抬起头不解的问:“爸爸妈妈,你们为什么一见到他们就会打招呼呢?”爸爸妈妈总会摸着我的头:笑着对我说:“这样才显得有礼貌呀!你看,只要我们一和别人打招呼,别人也会和你打招呼。
我仰着头,努力在脑海里搜寻,真的,别人也会有礼貌的回答我们。于是,我点了点头。
有一年春节,我们一大家子在奶奶家吃团圆饭,我为了早点看春晚,三下五除二的把饭给吃完了,我刚站起来,准备去看春晚,却发现妈妈笑眯眯的`把眼光投向了我,是不是忘了什么呀?我仔细地,认真的想了想:呀!自己着急看春晚,居然连声招呼都没和家人打就准备走了。于是,我连忙“补救”和家人说了句:“我吃完了,大家别着急,慢慢吃”,我去看春晚了。家人从谈论声中抬起头来,个个都对我竖起了大拇指,夸我是个有礼貌的好孩子。
还有一次,爸爸不知什么原因和妈妈吵架了,弄的俩人整天板着一张冷冰冰的脸,我还整天提心吊胆。爸爸好几次都有意向妈妈和好,可妈妈就是不接受。终于有一天,爸爸当着我的面对妈妈郑重地说了句:“对,不起。”妈妈的脸上终于出现了笑容。并且原谅了爸爸,哈哈!爸爸妈妈终于重归于好了。
看!就是这一句“对不起”,让爸爸妈妈重新和好。
言谈之礼,从小事做起,从身边做起!

生活中有许多需要遵守的礼仪。比如:不能随处乱丢垃圾;过马路时,要从斑马线行走,并且要遵守红灯停,绿灯行不闯红灯等等。但就是有些人在日常生活中做不到。如:我去公园游玩时就看到了这样不和谐的一幕。
一家人带着小妹妹去公园玩。小妹妹边走边吃着一根棒棒糖,到公园不久就吃完了。她爸爸从她手上拿过棒棒糖的小木棍随手往远处的地上一扔。小妹妹突然喊道:“爸爸乱扔垃圾!”说完,跑过去捡了起来,扔进旁边的垃圾箱。小妹妹的爸爸脸红了,不好意思地低下了头。公园里有许多美丽的鲜花,她妈妈随手摘了一朵花戴在胸前。小妹妹又喊道:“妈妈乱摘鲜花戴在胸前!”小妹妹的妈妈低声地说:“妈妈知道了,下次一定改正。”小妹妹生气的撅着小嘴。
