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.
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!

您好!我是一个读二年级的小朋友。我很喜欢麦当劳、 因为这里有很多好吃的`东西。
人们表扬麦当劳:送外卖很快。我们觉得这里环境很好,很干净。虽然人多,但服务员姐姐们拿餐快。进门一下子就可以吃到新鲜,香喷喷的汉堡包。
我还想跟麦当劳叔叔提建议,把桌椅改装成各种各样小动物的样子。那一定是很好玩!
还有可以送各种各样小玩具,比如说,叮当猫,杯子,笔等等。小朋友就一定会常常来。
我想到了,桌子底下安装一只玩具青蛙,嘴巴伸到上面。我们吃完东西把垃圾扔到青蛙嘴巴里,青蛙就说:谢谢!
还要在麦当劳加旋转木马,公鸡灯等玩的东西。小朋友会更喜欢。
妈妈说,还要麦当劳为汉堡包这些食物添加凉茶,等等。
我喜欢麦当劳,因为麦当劳环境很好,东西很香。
要是我的建议真得成功了,麦当劳的环境越来越好,装扮越来越漂亮。来的人越来越多。
祝您
开心快乐!

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.
“妈妈,我饿了,我想吃麦当劳,可以吗?”我亲切地问。
“不行啊孩子,我还有很多事没做呢!”妈妈认真地说,瞟了我一眼,又继续往前走。
我拽住妈妈的胳膊,扭了扭身子,既恳切,又撒娇地说:“就带我去吃吧,就一次,好吗?”
“不行。我刚才说了,还有很多事情没有做呢!”妈妈也开始烦躁起来。
“妈妈,我知道您是天下最好的妈妈了,您也是天下第一大好人,您是第一,保没人称第二了。”我见妈妈不肯,就耐着性子拍起马屁来:一会儿给妈妈捶捶背,一会儿给妈妈揉揉肩。
“吃东西嘛,我可以考虑——考虑。”妈妈停下了脚步,想了想。
“妈妈,只要您说一句话,吃还是不吃,如果吃,我愿为你做牛做马!我很有点不耐烦地说。
“那你把今天的.衣服洗了晾了,然后切菜、做饭,还有,你还要把鞋子擦干净,把明天的菜也切好了,门窗也要擦干净……”妈妈把今天没做完的和明天要做的事情一件不漏地交代给了我。
“啊!这么多事情让我一个人做呀?那我今天不睡觉也做不完了。”我跳起来大声吼道。
妈妈气得火冒三丈,眼睛瞪得大大的,大声地对我说:“什么?你说什么?今天晚上你不睡觉也得做完,不然你就不能吃麦当劳。”妈妈肯定心想:你现在多少岁啊,就想对我提出要求,要不是看在你是我儿子的份上,我才不给你吃呢。
“讨厌,讨厌!太小气,太抠门!”我直跺脚,我的脸气得像快要爆炸的气球。
妈妈扬起巴掌正想向我打来,突然也觉得肚子饿了,“走,儿子,我们去吃麦当劳去!
