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.
冬日的阳光,依然有着温暖。午后,我来到金山公园散步。静静的金山公园传来了“豆花,豆花”的叫卖声,声音有由远而近。一辆卖豆花三轮车停在我的面前。“哥老倌,来豌豆花吧!”很多年没有吃过豆花了,就来了一碗。嘴里含着热乎乎的豆花,我却想起了母亲做的豆花。
小时候,家里很困难。要想吃到豆花,那都是过年才有的口福。春节临近时,母亲就开始为过年准备了,家里除了要准备点腊肉外,最重要的就是准备豆花。
记得每年春天,母亲在自家的田边地角,甚至是生产队废弃的土埂上,种下黄豆。春夏季节,母亲利用队上出工的`间隙,给豆苗施肥除草,期待秋季的收获。到了秋天,豆角有点黄的时节,母亲带着我们弟兄去收割黄豆,收好后放在自家的院坝晾晒。晒干后,母亲铺上晒席,拿出镰盖,一遍一遍的扑打,将黄豆与豆枝分离。不断挥动的手臂,让镰盖在空中划出一个个圆圈。镰盖夹砸在豆秆上面,发出啪啪的声音,回响在寂静的村子上空。飞扬的尘土,飘落在母亲的秀发上,美丽的母亲变得蓬头垢面。一场大汗后,豆秆与黄豆完全分开,然后用风车,将杂枝彻底清除。风车的漏斗里,哗哗地滴落着金黄色的豆子,这样家里就有豆花吃了。由于母亲的勤劳,家里每年都要收获几十斤黄豆。黄豆收成好的年份,父亲还拿到集市上去卖,换回猪肉和家里的其他急需品。父亲劳累的时候,母亲就煎上一碗给父亲下酒。剩下的挂在高高的房梁上,留着过年吃。
待到年前十几天,母亲从房梁上取下豆子,将豆子泡好。由于全生产队只有一个磨子,家家户户都要做豆腐,于是,母亲天还没有亮就去排队。轮到我们家磨豆子了,母亲就号召我们弟兄全上。母亲和我用扁担推动作磨盘,一圈一圈,围着大大的磨盘不停地走着,在石磨转动的吱嘎声中,浸泡透了的黄豆变成了白乎乎的豆浆。推着推着,我感觉天地都在旋转,晕倒在地上,母亲没有埋怨。自己一个人吃力的推着那个大大的石磨。冬日的时节,我看见母亲脸上都有汗珠滴下,母亲依然咬牙将十几斤豆子推完。
稍息片刻,母亲又开始煮豆腐。十几斤的豆浆水,放入家里的大铁锅。我负责烧火。干燥的豆秆,燃出熊熊的火苗,半小时后,豆浆水被煮沸。“煮豆燃豆萁,豆在釜中泣。本是同根生,相煎何太急”的诗句到了天命之年我也没有什么感觉,唯有对豆花的渴望才是我深深的记忆。母亲在灶台上方用十字架系上纱布,将煮沸的豆浆水舀在纱布里面过滤。辛劳的母亲一遍遍地摇动着十字架,将豆浆里的豆渣完全与浆水分离。分离完后,继续微火煮豆浆水,母亲加入卤水,渐渐地锅里就出现了一块块的豆腐。
豆花煮好了,母亲给我舀了一碗,加了点酱油。说道:“国林娃,你快咭(吃),你要好好读书,长大要有出息啊。”端着母亲辛苦做的豆花,望着母亲希望的眼神,几口就吞咽下了豆花。冬日里,母亲的辛劳,母亲的付出,深深的印在我的脑海里,心里默默的许下誓言,我要让母亲过上幸福的生活,将来不再受累。
后来的岁月里,母亲每年要给我们做豆花。从开春的播种,到秋季的收获,无不凝结着母亲的汗水,年复一年。
如今,到处都有豆花店,满街都是豆花的叫卖声。没有了豆秆燃烧的柴火味道,没有了故乡味道的豆花。感觉总是没有母亲亲手做的豆花那么的香,那么的甜。
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!

——题记
秋风萧瑟,村前那棵久年不枯的老树下站着一个女人,经过岁月洗礼的脸上满是斑驳的皱纹,被风雨打磨的手上布满了龟裂的小口和茧子。刺骨的寒风吹起那满头白发。她,在等谁?那眼中的欲眼望穿刺痛人心。她又在盼着谁?
小时候,我就是一个疯丫头,不知生活的疾苦,不知家庭的重担,无忧无虑自由自在。母亲用她粗糙的双手为我搭建了一座名为“童年”的天堂。母亲爱我,宠我,将我捧在手心上,将我放在心尖上。她用自己羸弱的身躯,用自己卑微的生命来爱我,哪怕我曾让她的世界支离破碎。
母亲亲手做的\'豆花便是我儿时最爱吃的东西。那刚出炉的豆花,白白嫩嫩,水灵灵的。母亲知道我喜欢吃,便每天早晨鸡鸣时起床,披上单薄的大衣,就钻进厨房。直到日上三竿,我在被窝里悠悠转醒,一转头,就有一碗还冒着热气的白嫩豆花搁置在桌上。扑鼻的香气中夹杂着母亲浓浓的爱。但总不知为何,母亲就像长了对顺风耳,总能在我起床是放下手中的农活,走进屋里,含笑看着我狼吞虎咽的吃完,然后麻利的收拾掉碗筷,转身出去。看着母亲的背影,那时懵懂的我突然明白什么是幸福。
后来,为了不辜负母亲的辛勤养育,我考上了自己理想的大学,母亲听到这个消息,并没有很激动,只是在我背井离乡时微笑看着我“玉儿,到了大城市要注意身体,别感冒了。”“知道了,妈,我走了”带着美好的憧憬,我踏上了洒满阳光的大学之路,却未注意到母亲眼中的那抹不舍与寂寞。就这样,我毅然决然的离开了母亲,去追求属于我自己的幸福。
临国庆还有几天,我给母亲打电话,告诉她,我有几个好朋友要和我一起回去,让母亲多做几个好菜。没想到,回到家里,推开门,入眼便是一片白色:桌上只有几碗豆花和小菜,极为寒酸。“玉儿,你回来啦。”母亲见了,将她那双满是油渍的双手在围裙上使劲擦了擦,这才去和我的同学握手。我急忙转头去看,虽然表面没有流露出来,但我仍看见了深深的嫌弃和不屑,我顿时窘迫不已。“妈,我们去城里吃饭了,你收拾完自己吃吧!”母亲抬了抬手,想说些什么,却终是放下,那几近红肿的手垂在身侧,使我更加难堪。当天夜里,我坐车回到了学校。至此,再也未与母亲联系。
大学毕业后,我有了自己的工作。就业竞争的压力使我喘不过气老,终于不堪重负,病倒在床上。那个雨夜,淅淅沥沥的雨滴打在窗户上,像首安眠曲,声声催人眠。忽然,一阵急促的敲门声将我从梦中拉进了现实,拖着疲惫的身子,打开门,一只粗糙而又熟悉的大手覆上额头。我顿时一惊“妈,你怎么来了?”“妈那天耐不住寂寞,给你打电话,你有没接,妈担心你,来看看。真是的,多大的人了,还照顾不好自己”母亲自顾自的絮叨着,我却再也支持不住,瘫在母亲温暖的怀里。那晚,我沉沉睡去,因为我知道,母亲就在我身边,从未离开。
次日,我睁开眼睛,看到母亲趴在床边,紧蹙着眉,是做噩梦了吧?我伸出手,摸着母亲的头,呢喃道:“妈,对不起”母亲被惊醒,满是血丝的眼看着我:“醒啦,妈给你做你最爱吃的豆花去”“嗯”
当母亲端着那碗童年记忆中的豆花走来时,不禁感叹,独自一人来到这城中,有多久都没吃到母亲做的豆花了。碗里的豆花冒着腾腾热气,母亲的笑容在热气里若影若现。眼泪忽的簌簌落下,我忙接过碗,不想让母亲看到我流泪。谢谢你,母亲。
如今,当我站在岁月的交叉口再回望那场盛宴时,我终于发现,无论自己怎么哭,怎么笑,怎么舞蹈,怎么吵闹,那些旧时光过去了就真的过去了。子欲养而亲不待。母亲,对不起!
