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.
母蟹对小蟹说:“你不要横爬,为什么不直着走?”他答道:“妈妈,请您亲自教我怎样直走,我将照着你的样子走。”可母蟹根本不会直走,于是小蟹说她笨。
这是说,教育者自己必须正直地生活,正直地走,才能去教导别人。
两个平常非常要好的朋友一道上路。途中,突然遇到一头大熊,其中的一个立即闪电般地抢先爬上了树,躲了起来,而另一个眼见逃生无望,便灵机一动马上躺倒在地上,紧紧地屏住呼吸,假装死了。据说,熊从来不吃死人。熊走到他跟前,用鼻子在他脸上嗅了嗅,转身就走了。躲在树上的人下来后,问熊在他耳边说了些什么。那人委婉地回答说:“熊告诉我,今后千万注意,别和那些不能共患难的朋友一起同行。”
这故事说明,不能共患难的人不是真正的朋友。

骆驼见牛炫耀自己漂亮的角,羡慕不已,自己也想要长两只角。于是,他来到宙斯那里,请求给他加上一对角。宙斯因为骆驼不满足已有庞大的身体和强大的力气,还要妄想得到更多的东西,气愤异常,不仅没让他长角,还把他的耳朵砍掉一大截。
这故事说明,许多人因为贪得无厌,一见别人的东西就眼红,不知不觉连自己已具有的东西也失去了。
Dear Dad,
Today is fathers day, for so many years Ive been seekig a way to express my heartfelt thanks for all you have done for me. Here comes it!

Thank you for offering me education and teaching me how to be a man. You always inspire me not by words, but by what you have done! Your efforts in the work, your loyalty to your friends, your responsibility for the family and your persistence in the life have already set me good examples in my own life.
Thank you for always appreciating my work, no matter how tiny it is! You have made me realize that its capacity not scores that really counts.
Dad, I love you and I will love you forever!
Yours beloved,
Li Ming
通常,我们对一个人的仇恨只有在他死时才会停止,因为只有当他成为过去是,他才不再试图支持和夺取过去。但是,仇恨在仇恨之人死后犹存,因为仇恨是由我的'自由发明的,而仇恨即使作为我的过去,也仍然存在,因为过去永远存在(直到我死)。
我的过去不同于我的可能,过去不再具有任何可能,我要成为我的过去,就是要成为一个实心的自在,不能对它有任何改变。
被仇恨的人经常感到委屈:人们怎么能因为曾经的我而仇恨现在的我呢?许多哲学家也坚持这样的观点:我对于我不能做任何陈述,因为在线性时间的轨道上,我在不断地成为虚假(非我、过去),我已经成为非“他”的另外的事物了。
这个“另外的事物”该如何理解?
如果我们不能站在现在去陈述过去,那是不是可以站在近距离的未来来陈述现在,就像猎人略微提前一点瞄准鸟儿将要飞到还没有飞到的地方?这种运动观念是错误的:如果我们说鸟儿做AB处,那么运动就是一连串的不动性,同样,人们就会把我的存在表述为一连串接踵而至的固定状态。
而实际上,我并不是这样,并不是因为我的现在对于我的过去来说是一种同质向异质的过渡,而是因为有一种生成,因为我的存在对我的存在方式而言是异质的。
把世界看成存在与非存在的综合有利于我们更好地理解生成。我们已经知道,存在与非存在并不是并列的两个实心的存在,而是一方以另一方的虚无为基础,因此我们应该这样理解生成:我以不是我的过去的方式是我的过去。
这也是对上一篇提到的“曾经是”的一个解释。
