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.
I’m going to the sun on my holiday. I will go there by a spaceship. I will take a big blue spaceship。
then I’ll pilot the spaceship to the sun. the sun is very hot. So I put on the super-shirt. In the morning, I will have some sun burger for my breakfast.
At eight o’clock, I will play with my friends there. they are super dog and super girl. Super dog is white and black. Super girl is very clever. Super girl and super dog like to play with me. So I play with them for forty minutes. then I do my homework in my little red room on a small blue table.
After my home work, I will have my lunch. I will eat sun salad. I will make some red toy bear to the sun babies. I will have red juice, red fish and red rice. All the things are red. then I need a lot of water on the sun because the sun is too hot. So I will walk to the spaceship. I’ll pilot the spaceship to the earth.

冬爷爷离开了我们,春姑娘来到了我们的身边。桃花开了,像粉色的云,随着一阵微风吹来,飘来飘去。柳树姑娘梳着自己翠绿的长发,柳枝长出嫩芽儿,随风飘荡。
有一天,我发现我家的屋檐下有两只小燕子。它们从外面飞回来,来建新窝。突然有一天,我发现有一只燕子在窝里不动,我跑去问爸爸,爸爸意味深长地说:“它们是在孵蛋呢!”我这才放下心来。
“叽——叽——叽”,我听见有几只小燕子的叫声,就迫不及待地跑出屋子,原来是三只小燕子出生了,它们长着黄色的小嘴,毛茸茸的羽毛,非常可爱。
有一天,一只小燕子想和爸爸妈妈一样飞翔,但是,它的翅膀还没有长硬,它做好了飞翔的姿态,然后学着父母的样子,飞了几下后,直线下滑,小燕子十分害怕,就急忙拍打着翅膀,可是无济于事,它掉到了地上。
一只野猫看到了,就叫着跑了过去,看到眼前的情景我以迅雷不及掩耳之势,冲出了房间,直奔野猫而去,小燕子可怜地躺在地上,用哀求的眼神仿佛在求野猫不要伤害它,可是野猫看到轻而易举得来的猎物岂会放弃,正低头准备叼起小燕子,我急了:“哪来的野猫?快走开!”赶走了野猫,保护了小燕子,把它重新放回窝里。
小燕子得救了,我感到很高兴。
