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.
你好!
我是房欣宇。今天,杨老师给我们讲了你的故事,我很害怕,因为那里太恐怖了。所以今天我写信给你,一起思考保护环境的具体方法。
首先,你做的第一个梦,令我感到垃圾污染对地球的危害。如果任由这种情况发生下去的话,那么人类每天呼吸的将是恶臭,生活空间也会被垃圾填满。为了提防它的发生,我觉得我们应该学会自己不乱扔垃圾,再提醒别人不乱扔垃圾。然后,我们要学会将不同的'垃圾,放进它们不同的“家园”里。看见地上有垃圾,我们要随手捡起,送它们“回家”。
其次,我看到在树上睡觉的你以及旁边那些伤痕累累的树桩,看着地球妈妈的“头发”被一棵棵地拔去,我很心痛。我们应该马上停止这些乱砍乱伐的行为。所以我想,如果你们想砍伐树木,可以,可等你砍完后要重新种下一棵小树苗。让地球妈妈的“头发”越来越茂密。
最后,当我看到渔民们因捕到了一条小鱼而载歌载舞、热烈庆祝时,我意识到鱼成为世界上的濒危动物时,我害怕了,我发现:我们得马上停止那些污染水资源的行为。那么我们应该怎么做呢?首先,我们要停止向湖、河、溪等地方乱扔垃圾。其次,我们看见他做这种行为应该阻止。最后,我们要工厂停止向有水的地方排放污水。
亲爱的沃尔特,你看见我的想法你还有什么意见吗?你要回信告诉我呦!
你好!其实确切一点说,我应该叫您哥哥,因为您是86年出生的,只比我大13岁。拿现在很流行的话说,您是80后的骄傲,我非常崇拜您!
博尔特叔叔,您知道我是怎么认识您的.吗?在8月20日晚,我和爸爸妈妈来到鸟巢国家体育场观看田径比赛。我非常幸运地看到您参加200米赛跑的情景:我看到了您弯弓射箭的招牌动作,我看到了200米赛道上您的遥遥领先,更看到了您以19秒30的成绩打破了世界记录,夺得了冠军!
正当我不知怎样表达对您的祝贺时,一个令人激动的消息传来,广播说您那天晚上即将迎来22岁的生日,当鸟巢上空奏响《生日快乐》的优美旋律时,我和全场9万多名观众一起为您高唱了生日歌。啊!我真想让记者叔叔拍下我为您祝福的情景,那会是我永恒的纪念。
那一晚的遗憾虽然很多,但我仍是幸福的,见证了您拼搏后取得的辉煌。那一晚,我记住了您伟大的名字,但后来发生的事情,让我记住了您高尚的人品。
您向在四川大地震中的受灾儿童捐献了5万美元,用于救治在汶川地震中因伤截肢的儿童,并说:“我为四川受灾的孩子们感到难过,他们应该生活在欢乐中,我希望孩子们尽快从悲痛中走出来。”
您还代表牙买加国家旅游局邀请6位四川孩子前往牙买加旅游。我真为这些小朋友感到高兴,同时也为您博大的爱心深深地感动。
博尔特叔叔,我会在您的身上学会坚强、努力、拼搏和爱。最后我有一个小小的请求,请您满足我吧。我听说在牙买加,有一种你们经常吃的番薯,特别神奇,连您的父亲老博尔特都信誓旦旦地说:“肯定是番薯使他夺冠的。”请您给我们国家寄一些番薯种,好吗?我们国家体育强大,独独田径是我们的弱项,请您帮助寄来种子,相信我们国家的运动员吃过番薯后,也能取得像您那样的成绩,拜托了!
