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.
在我看到你们地震后的画面时,我泪目了。
轰隆隆!一声巨响震撼着大地。那一刻,高楼、学校、家……几乎都倒塌了,变为一片废墟那就是天灾地震。我看到许多学校,幼儿园倒塌了,许多哥哥姐姐,弟弟妹妹被压在砖石瓦块底下,黑黑的夜里,你们害怕吗?我看到和我差不多大的'小朋友头上缠着纱布,自己坐在木板上,眼睛空空的望着前方。有好多小孩子围绕在周围,还有一个小姐姐在哭,我想问,你们的爸爸妈妈呢?我看到许多小朋友不说不动,不哭不笑的躺在冰冷的地上,身上只盖着塑料布,快下雨了,你们冷吗?
在报纸上,在网络上,在电视上都播放着你们的消息,你们有的被埋在废墟下面,有的在等待了90个小时才被救了出来,有的离开了我们,有的虽然活了下来,却失去了自己的父母,成了孤儿……听着听着,我的鼻子一酸,眼里噙着泪花;看着看着,我被不由自主地被画面所感动,而放声大哭起来。
我一直在想:远在荆州的我可以为你们做些什么呢?老师给我们讲了地震的危害,说我们应该捐出自己的零花钱,帮助你们早日治好伤,早日上学。今天早上,我豪不犹豫地拿了零钱去捐献。虽然只有100元,但这是我的一片心,希望能帮助你们重建美好的家园,愿你们能像我们一样能回到宽敞明亮的教室里学习。希望你们面对天灾要顽强挺过去,不要太悲伤,解放军叔叔一定会来救你们的,我和全国的小朋友也一定会帮助你们的!
灾难考验着我们,在灾难面前,一声亲切的问候,一张热情的笑脸,一双援助的手,都能给人带来无尽的关怀和温暖。俗话说:天地无情人有情,一方受难八方支援。全国人民在听到震灾发生后都非常关心,我们也会帮助你们度难关的,亲爱的同学们!,我知道你们没有了家,失去了很多,如今你们一定是在灾后的悲愤中,但请不要伤心,不要难过,还有我们。特别是在有关部门的关心下,你们会重新住进温暖的房屋,也会重新进入明亮的课堂上课。亲爱的同学们!化悲痛为力量吧!阳光总在风雨后,我相信任何困难都打不倒你们的,你们是坚强的!你们是勇敢的!让全世界人们携
起手来,共同帮助你们战胜灾难,渡过难关!
最后,我潜心祝愿每一个人都能平平安安,快快乐乐。
