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.
拥有是一件幸福的事。
我拥有很多朋友的关怀,有一次在学校,莫名其妙觉得脚酸疼,四肢无力,连走楼梯也很困难,忽然不小心,差点跌个四脚朝天,还好靠朋友拉我一把,否则后果不堪设想。还有一次,我考得很差,心情非常沮丧,朋友也是二话不说,一直不断地安慰我,就这样抚平了我内心的伤痛。当数学题目很难,一题都解不开,脑中似有上千个结时,还是靠朋友伸出援手。有时候,遇到的问题并没有想像中好解决,结果,最了解我的那位朋友,一眼就看出我有心事,她便很有耐心而且慢慢的,使我从“悲观”转念成“乐观”,补起了我心中的洞。我拥有这么多朋友的关怀,朋友是我的靠山,把我从黑暗中救起,朋友的恩情似山高,似海深,我要记住朋友对我的好,有句话说:“受人点滴之恩,当涌泉以报,”有机会我们也要让朋友拥有我们很多的爱。
我拥有父母很多的爱,记得有一次,足球比赛上半场结束,一下场,我早已累得气喘如牛,父母马上帮我买一瓶水,让我解渴,又帮我搥背,我简直像女王般,什么事都不用做。印象中有一回,我练习体操完,回到家感觉天昏地暗,爸妈立刻带我去医院,当时,我吓得汗流浃背,心想,真的很严重吗?脑中胡思乱想,父母用快乐的笑容转移我的注意力,让我深刻的到,父母的爱果然无所不在。
让我拥有最丰富的生活体验,就是露营了!印象中,有一次去营地,那真是令人回味无穷的一次,早上玩躲避球,玩得不亦乐乎,下午玩鬼抓人,队友之间有难同当,一个有危险时,同伴会帮助他,到了晚上,玩的游戏更多了,有夜间足球比赛、吓人夜游、水深水浅……等等。玩到十点半都还不想睡觉。到板桥那次也很好玩,我们做魔药,想***死恼人的毛毛虫,但是无法成功。还有一回,我们去东风,大家成群结队去玩水,水中的鱼一看到我们就躲起来,一直不出来,我们只好用“放长线钓大鱼”这招,不到一刻钟,就抓到了。种种露营的,都是让我拥有最多的生活乐趣。
我拥有很多梦想,尤其最想能当一位舞者。之前,在偶然的机会,我看到舞者表演的舞蹈,舞姿如翩翩飞舞的彩蝶,尤其在的表演当中,每一位舞者,举手投足都让人如癡如醉,赞叹不已,使我想当一位舞者的梦想更加坚定。
每个人都想拥有所有想要的东西,然而,想要能够拥有,就要懂得为他人付出,如果我们一昧的期待拥有很多,却从来不去帮忙别人,失去的也许会更多。俗话说:“人人为我,我为人人”,既然别人使我拥有很多,那么我有能力一定要回馈他人。此外,人要懂得满足,拥有才有意义,有句话曾说:“一直要拥有的人,失去会更多。”所以人要懂得知足,懂得珍惜所拥有的,人生才会更美好。
我的烦恼有很多,比如说成绩无法提高,比如说脸上一直长小痘痘,比如说个子一直长不高……但是今天我要说的烦恼并不是这些我自身的烦恼,而是一件特别的烦恼。
事情是这样子的',因为我住的小区是在城市的开发区,所以到处都是施工工地。一开始,我感觉我们所在的地方就要发展起来了,感觉到特别的开心,可是慢慢的,烦恼也接踵而至。这些施工工地为了赶工程的截止日期,每天晚上都要施工到很晚,一开始只是打打地基灌灌水也还好,可是真正到了盖房子的阶段,叮叮咣咣的声音实在是影响到了我们的睡眠。自从这些工地开始施工之后,我们大家几乎每天晚上都要很晚才能够睡着。而且不仅仅如此,每天清晨的一大早,这些工地上面的机器就会继续轰隆起来,搞得我们大家每天都不能够睡好觉。迫于无奈,我们大家只能每天带上耳塞睡觉,搞得第二天早上耳朵里面又红又肿,上课也没精神了。
希望工地上的叔叔们能够考虑一下周围居民们的感受,能够把施工的声音小一点,让大家都能够好好的休息!
最近老师为我们出了一道比较简单的题目:谈谈最为喜欢的动物。
各式各样的答案蜂拥而出,面对小猫、小狗、狮子、狼……之类的动物,唯有老师话峰一转,说自己最为喜欢的动物虽然没有庞大的神曲,没有威武的身子,却会始终坚持不懈,勇往直前——蜗牛。
或许蜗牛没有什么过人之处,但是却有着自己独到的魅力,能够帮助人进步的魅力。
在自然界中,想要生存是多么艰难,而这小小的蜗牛却繁衍至今,自然是由他们与众不同的地方。它们并没有翱翔天际的翅膀,也没有强劲的身躯,但却能够依靠自己坚持不懈的奋斗爬上比它强许多被的动物也爬不上的金字塔。
我也曾为此观察过蜗牛,那是在夏天的一场暴雨过后,总能看见它们在墙角上努力前进的身影,前行的速度很慢,慢到总让人耐不住性子看到它们走到终点。可它们却似乎毫不在意,依旧努力前行。而当你触碰到它们的外壳时,它们的头会迅速缩到壳内,停止前行,等到你不耐烦或是离开时,它们才会将头缓缓伸出,继续前行,大有一种不到目的地誓不罢休的劲头。
这使得我更一步对蜗牛这种小小生命有了更进一步的'了解,并且从中产生了一种油然而生的敬畏之情。明明如此的弱小,但是却能够为了自己的目标永不言弃,哪怕一步一步缓慢前行,也要走向自己想到达到的地方……
我无法忘记老师那简单的叙述,因为从我也开始注意到蜗牛这种笑笑生物的时候,我进步了很多,懂得了很多。
希望它们都能够到达自己希望的远方,也希望自己可以像一只小小蜗牛一样,不放弃,不气馁,不轻易畏惧……
