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.
连绵的春雨淅淅沥沥已经下了两个多星期。没有个阳光,气温也连续下降。每天早晨上学的时候,也是雨下得最大的时候,所有的人都撑着伞,披着雨衣,裹着厚厚的冬衣,急急忙忙赶往四面八方。这可不像诗中描写的“好雨知时节,当春乃发生。随风潜入夜,润物细无声”。今年的春雨带来的是阵阵寒气。
大人们三三两两在雨中结伴而行,却没有人在抱怨这糟糕的天气,脸上竟然还带有喜色。这是为什么?原来,河北、河南、安徽等地麦田的旱情会因这场春雨而大大缓解。正是体现出“春雨贵如油”。连续几个月没有水喝的麦苗可以笑弯了腰,大口大口喝下这早春最新鲜的雨水;干旱的土壤可以开心地享受着春雨的滋润;农民伯伯皱着的眉头终于可以解开了。
春雨到底是什么样子的?是冬天的进行曲,还是夏天的凑鸣曲?是寒冷的代言人,还是温暖派来的使者?我想春雨就像一个正在成长的孩子,刚出生时哭哭啼啼,吵吵闹闹,有点寒气,但是证明它是健康的,是农民伯伯最需要的。慢慢的一个月、几十天,它长大了,开始懂事了,变得温和、听话,染绿了青山和大地,预示着真正的春天来到了。也许又过了一个月、几十天,它年老了,变得急躁、烦闷,噢,这时候,好热呀,美丽的夏天正等着闪亮登场呢!
这就是我眼中的春雨
