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.

One possible version:
The summer holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favor of staying at home. They think it’s both convenient and comfortable. What’s more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.
However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling.
In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong.

大口呼吸着雨后初晴那清爽的空气,我们从平凉市乘车向西行驶了十余公里后,终于来到了素有西来第一山之美誉的崆峒山。仰望高山,层层叠叠的树木为大山披上了春天的新装,连绵起伏的山脉如绿色的波涛在翻滚。几座亭台楼阁轻凌于悬崖绝壁之上,绝壁处古树参天,给大山平添了几分古朴精致的人文景观。
一路上山,我们尽情享受大自然完美无缺的杰作。你瞧,小路两边长满了各式各样的树木。有的已成为参天大树;有的还只是抽出几片嫩叶的小树苗;有的树干笔直,树冠直插云霄;有的树杈弯弯曲曲,像弓腰驼背的老翁。小草小花随风摇摆,像在欢迎远客的到来。我们经过一条用鹅卵石铺成的.林阴小道,便来到一条又直又高的石阶下。我抬头望望,好长的一段阶梯啊!就好像通往天空一样,怪不得名为上天梯呢!我为自己打打气,向上登去。可刚登到一半,就累得上气不接下气了。阶梯上石缝里的青苔好滑,让我的脚都有点不听使唤了。瞧瞧下面,又望望上面,真是进退两难。没办法,登呗!功夫不负有心人气喘吁吁的我终于登上了上天梯,毕竟有志者事竟成嘛!
在一路小鸟歌声的鼓励下,我们登上了崆峒山山项,成功的喜悦充溢着我的心胸。沙沙微风吹拂着山间郁郁葱葱的树丛,这美妙的声响和那露水般清亮的鸟鸣共同奏响一曲充满生机的大自然协奏曲。登上崆峒山的第一感觉如此美妙,我的心情自然如那阳光一样明亮。俯视山下,其间峰峦雄峙,危崖耸立,似鬼斧神工,仿佛群山都在向我微笑。林海浩瀚,烟笼雾锁,如缥缈仙境。群山的绿却带给人迥然不同的美感:深沉的深绿,清新的翠绿,活泼的嫩绿纵横交错在一块儿,织成了一张色调柔美的毯子。在群山中央,有一潭烟波浩淼的湖,那湖蓝得纯净,蓝得恬雅,蓝得让人无限陶醉。绿色轻舟的湖岸边,零星的几点琼楼玉宇,显得更加典雅宁静,富有诗情画意。此湖名为弹筝湖,虚无缥缈的,真有一曲悠扬的曲调从亭里飘来,萦绕在我的耳际。这美丽的崆峒山真让我体味到了人在画中游的美妙感觉。
