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.
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. Because they`re all very kind.It`s a pleasure to work and study with them.I`m really very happy.I`m not an outstanding student in this class,but I can do the same thing like others.I believe I won`t make anyone disappointed.
‘人生’觉得好伟大、神圣的一个词啊。我不是一位哲学家,也不是一位演说家,我呢,只是一名中学生,自认为自己没有什么资格、责任去谈天说地,特别是谈‘人生’。而今天在这里呢就是想说说自己心中的想法。
见笑了。
我觉得人生英语有着密不可分的关系,再细一点解释呢就是与英语中的时态息息相关。
当我们变成了一个风烛残年的老人。坐在摇椅上回想着我们这一生,每件往事都会清晰的浮现在眼前,任回忆说着过去时态的语言演绎着昨天的故事,那时的我们啊就是在温习英语中的‘过去时态’不是吗………。
破镜重圆时,我们啊乘坐着时间的飞船回到了中年时期。那时的`我们正在为自己的生活而努力奋斗着。在这个科技爆炸的现代化时代里,我们被生活践踏的体无完肤《话可能有点严重了》。我们得买房、买车,过上小康生活,要不都说现代人的生活节奏快呢,可能就是这个原因吧。所以啊,那时的我们就是演绎着英语中的‘现在进行时’不是吗………
现在呢,我们来到了人生中的黄金时期———青春期。青春是人生的花样年华,身处青春期的我们总是会憧憬着这样或那样的未来。这不就是英语中的‘一般将来时’吗………。
其实啊,不管怎样,无论是‘过去时’、‘现在时’、还是‘将来时’,都需要我们为现在的生活去努力、拼搏、奋斗不是吗………。
歌词写得好啊‘梦想是注定孤独的旅行,这路上少不了质疑和嘲笑,但那又怎样,哪怕遍体鳞伤,也要活得漂亮
。我为自己代言
最后呢,因为我也是一名初中生,即将面临着中考。在此呢,就祝愿普天下所有的中学生在中考中能考出一个好成绩、实现自己的梦想
悦。加油,相信你自己。加油加油加油………
谢谢观看……
