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.
亲爱的爸爸:
我心里有许多话想对您说,但一看见您,就说不出口,现在趁写作文的机会告诉你吧!
爸爸,每当我踏进学校的大门时,总有一种负担跟随着我,它总提醒我要好好学习,不能给您丢脸。一旦,我考了80多分的时候,您总是严厉地批评我、狠狠地打骂我一顿。因此,每当我成绩考不好时,心里都闷闷不乐的,不敢把考卷拿给您看。我多么地希望您能和别人的家长那样,用心地辅导我,给我分析题目做错的原因。
您还记得吗?上次我们第二单元考试,您也知道,那是我最讨厌的一个单元,我学习时总是心不在焉。当第二单元考试时,我的脑子一片空白,再加上我的数学基础不是很好,因此,我在考试时边考试边在草稿纸上涂涂写写,到了最后,考试的时间都不够用了。等到考卷发下来以后,成绩只有84分,我看了以后,心里非常难过。当我把考卷递给您看时。您立马大发雷霆,恶狠狠地说到:“你是怎么考的,才84分,这个成绩怎么进广海中学读呀1我听了以后,难过得伤心起来,心里默默地想:我可真笨呀,又让爸爸大发雷霆了。下次一定好好学习,考出好成绩,让爸爸高兴。突然间,您又唠叨起来:“你看你,这些题目都是不应该被扣分的呀¥·····”“什么,你连加减的口算都错了那么多题,还想干什么呀1我听了以后,心里更加难过,真希望您能体谅体谅我的心情。您一直这样地教训我,会使我幼小的心灵受到巨大的伤害。
爸爸,在这儿,我想对您说:“爸爸,以后您能不能像别人的家长一样,耐心地辅导我的功课,不要整天沉醉在电脑游戏当中。我会听您的话,认真学习,相信不久,我的数学成绩就会有所提高的。您等着我带给您的惊喜吧1祝: 身体健康!
您的女儿:xxx
亲爱的爸爸:
您好!
人们都说母爱是伟大的,但现在我觉得父爱同样伟大。
还记得去年冬天的一天吗,您连续上了24小时的班,吃过晚饭后早早就睡了。到了夜里11点多,我肚子突然疼起来,妈妈喂我喝了点热水也不见好转,我已经疼得在床上打滚儿。爸爸,您听到动静就起来了,看了看我说:“不行,马上去医院。”二话不说,您背起我就往医院赶。最后医生诊断为“肠痉挛”需要输液,因为我疼得躺不住,您只好抱着我,一边安慰我一边给我揉肚子,两个小时没换过一个姿势。看着您熬得通红的眼睛,我真想哭出声来。爸爸,我想对您说:“等我长大了,我会像您照顾我一样照顾您和妈妈。”
生活上,您对我无微不至,在学习上也对我严格要求。我的英语成绩在班里名列前茅,这和您从小对我的培养密不可分。一年级时,您就用简单的英语和我交流,家中日常用品也被您用英语贴上标签。到了三年级,您把英语书上的每一个单词做成卡片,每天晚上不厌其烦的帮我背诵,您还给我买了幽默丛书《父与子全集》英汉对照,没事时我就会拿出来看一看。我对英语的浓厚兴趣离不开您的教育。爸爸,我想对您说:“儿子一定不辜负您的教育,好好学习。”
爸爸,您不仅是我的良师,也是我的益友。我想对您说:“作为一名学生,我会用我的成绩来报答您!”
儿子:王其校
