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.
威廉.哈利特,辛辛那提书店的一位执着小男孩,为买一本地理书东奔西跑,失望和挫折如龙卷风习卷而来,促使着这个衣衫褴褛的小男孩走向绝境的大门,而最终小男孩在“我”和店员的鼓励和支持下,又重拾了信心,向自已的梦想迈开了坚定、充满信念的步伐!
岁月如水,正在一点一滴地慢慢流逝。一个年头又一个年头过去了,留在脑海里的记忆渐淡而又变得模糊,却没有冲刷掉可敬的决心。辛辛那提的小小买书童,已经成为了海上的“将军”。暴风雨咆哮着、嘶号着,犹如一只雄狮,挫使着我们陷入绝望黑暗的漩涡,可它们却丝毫没有打击船长的意志力,仿佛这只是半丝半缕,一点没有放在眼中,仍就井然有绪地指挥,领导,经过大家的不懈努力,船终于安全驶进了港口,人们得救了!那受人爱戴、令人崇敬的船长就是威廉.哈特利。
我轻轻合拢书,书香伴着清风,令人陶醉其中,我闭着双眼,微微回想起来:那晚,我一手握着钢笔,一手撑着头。瞌睡虫频频袭来,我渐渐招架不住了,眼皮子一点点的往下挪......我急忙甩了甩头,试图把它给赶走,可那都无济于事,我心中念念有词:瞌睡虫哇,我们只是萍水相逢,无冤无仇,打个招呼就行了吧?终于,我抵挡不住了,进入了梦乡......
我微微把嘴角扬起一个完美的孤线,带着一丝愧疚,似乎......还带着一丝嘲讽,是啊,古人“悬梁刺股”、“凿壁偷光”,而我只为这一点点小事却放弃了,明日却要付出加倍的努力。天下的事则无其不有,有人因为腿上的毛病而放弃了自已梦寐以求的舞台梦;有人因为厌倦,厌烦而丢掉工作,丢掉这个可能一举成名的,那个举动......
有千千万万地人因懒散和不屑,抛下学习与任务,追求“世外桃源”。用坚持和心血换来的脚步,我不是阻止你们去发现美的脚步,而是告诉你们,不能三天打鱼,两天晒网,轻易放弃哟!我们都应该向古代或现在的文人墨客,好好学习一番啦!

复杂堕落的社会,对由于不决的人来说是陷阱;对坚定有决的人来是是锤炼。不错!在这个社会上,有许多人常常在困难面前下不了决心,一直在犹豫中错过了良好的机会,这种人最终会尝到失败的恶果;也有许多大人物,他们战胜了犹豫,而选择了决心,所以才有成功的一天。
各位朋友,让我们一起战胜犹豫,让我们的决心抬起头来,早日走上光明灿烂的聚庄大道吧!
