Chinese immigrants struggle to hold onto their American dream after the husband's father comes for a visit from mainland China and gives a simple Chinese Medicine therapy called Gua Sha to his grandson. Da Tong is the father who is trying to integrate his Chinese cultural beliefs into his daily American reality, especially when dealing with his boss and his best friend, who is too quick to believe the worst about Da Tong's treatment of his son, Dennis. Da Tong's failures show his confusion about the differences between his original Chinese culture and his new American home.

Da Tong's love for his son is tested severely when Da Tong tries to balance it against respect for his boss. When Da Tong's son hits his boss' son, Da Tong insists on an apology that seems unnecessary and makes Da Tong look stubborn and uncaring. Da Tong gives his boy a light rap on the head when he refuses to apologize and the boy cries to his mother that the reason he hit his playmate was that the other boy called Da Tong stupid, one of

many examples of doing the wrong thing to protect his family.
