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.
当我真正褪去稚嫩的外壳,面对这残酷的社会时,我就明白原来人生并不是我想象的那么简单,人生有太多起伏也有太多的生离死别,可惜就是没有给你打草稿的准备,没有像数学题那样要事先打草稿,也更没有像电影,电视剧那样有彩排。面对这般人生,有的人小心谨慎,为尽可能求得一个完美的人生而坚持奋斗;而有的人却总是挥霍所拥有的时间和精力,直到年迈已老时才懂得人生的可贵。对于人生,假如你是前者,那么你选择的路必定是无遗憾;相反,假如你是选择了后者,那么你的人生将会成为一堆无用途的废弃品。生活不应该被你用去作草稿,现实从不会给我们有打草稿的念头,更别说机会。奥斯特洛夫斯基曾说过:”人的一生应当是这样度过的,当你回忆往事的时候,他不会因为虚度年华而悔恨,也不会因为碌碌无为而羞愧;在临死的时候,他能够说:“我的整个生命和全部精力,都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而斗争。”人应当赶紧的充分的生活,因为意外的疾病或悲惨的事故可以结束他的生命。
我们总是把希望寄托在明天,去不懂得如何好好把握今天。一天天就这样过去,我们假使总是这样,那还有什么意义呢?我们走过的今天却不能再重复的再走一次,无论你是有多后悔莫及,多不舍逝去,你还是得往前走,今天你要珍惜,明天你要期待。别奢望今天明天能给你天上掉下馅饼的事,也别奢求时光岁月能为你一个人停留;人生就好比展翅飞翔的飞鸟,仰头看天空,你会发现飞鸟所飞过的'地方,即使不完美也不可能原路返回的重飞。只要是经历过的就是经历过的,过去了,擦拭不掉也不能再重复摘抄在新的纸张上。当我面对失利时,我总是在怪自己为什么不好好复习,为什么不好好检查,为什么为什么,有太多的为什么缠绕着我令我自卑自愧,但我明白这一切是无论如何都不能挽救回来,过去就是过去了。我们也要感谢这没有草稿的人生,它能是我们奋发向上,能够使我们接下来的每迈出一个步伐都会觉得坚实稳定。
让我们争分夺秒的奋斗吧!摆脱琐碎,学会蜕变,这样的人生你还会觉得有草稿让你打吗。
佛曰:一花一世界,一叶一菩提。 ——题记
遥望历史的星空,繁星点缀的天际如同一条流光溢彩的丝带飘舞着,那舞动的光辉书写着一个又一个的人生传奇。
要知道,生活并不像作家形容的那样绚烂多彩,生活的路并不是平坦的,生活的旋律并不是如小夜曲那样欢快,生活是充满困惑与挫折的,只有不懈的充实自我,不断的挑战,才能获得最终的胜利。清代小说名家曹雪芹,不畏封建势力,提倡女性色彩,最终写下真情实意、满怀柔情的《红楼梦》;南宋史学家司马迁,在含垢忍辱之后写下了堪称“史家之绝唱,无韵之离***”的《史记》;宋代大文豪苏东坡,苦难研磨,把贬谪当作笔,写下了充满诗情画意而又内涵丰富的《赤壁赋》……他们,一生中充满苦难,充满不平,可是他们却勇于挑战,用坚韧的`毅力与不公的命运做斗争,最终写下了他们人生辉煌的一页。
我们正年轻,今后的路还很长,受挫是在所难免的,可是受挫的过程往往就是获得真知的过程,所以我们要不断的挑战!
大千世界,芸芸众生,有人面对困难不思进取,屈服于恶劣的环境,他们也许会拥有暂时的舒适与安宁,却是以个性为代价换来的;也有的人选择逃避,他们躲在自己狭小的空间里逃避困境,他们也许会拥有一生的平静,却不曾飞扬个性;但在这社会中,必然还有一类人的存在,他们不甘平庸、不愿趋炎附势,于是他们努里改变着周围恶劣的环境,并最终使整个环境因自己的个性而充满魅力。因为他们选择了挑战自己的人生,所以他们到达了成功的彼岸,并赢得了满堂喝彩!
走过崎岖小路,才能真正体味生活的快乐;穿过茫茫迷雾,才能深切感受阳光的明媚。不经风雨,怎见彩虹,不吃一堑,难长一智!所以我们要将挫折化为动力,要像明朝的归有光,八次落第不落志,写出了《项脊轩志》的传世华章;要像英国的大将军威灵顿,七败七战,于是留下了千古流传的美名;要像越王勾践,直面人生的惨淡,卧薪尝胆,于是有了“苦心人,天不负”的英雄故事。
其实,人生就是一局棋,生活便是对手,是不易言败的对手,自己也只有在行棋中不断的吸取经验、总结教训,不断完善自我,方能取得胜利!同学们,要想突破自我,取得更好的成绩,那么请从现在开始,时刻备战,迎接人生不断的挑战!

Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
