When I first saw this film’s name ,I considered it as a movie that told us something about Chinese traditional therapy treatment. However , after the movie , I realized guasha was just a symbol of the difference between Chinese culture and western culture , and there were many aspects we should have a deep consideration .

At the beginning of the film , Xu Datong slaps his son Denis on his face before the crowd , because Denis hit the son of Xu’s son and Xu just want to show the respect to his boss Quinlan , that time Quinlan feels puzzled and says“what a Chinese logic”. Of course , an American can never know a Chinese logic of interpersonal relationship which has been prolonged more than 2000 years . Chinese can wronged their children in order to maintain friendships and leader-member relation ,while American think everyone is equal and free .

In addition , they can also never understand Chinese hit their children because of loving them . In America , people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law-beating children or leave them alone is illegal , but a Chinese old proverb says “ Spare the rod , spoil the child” .

Another scene which makes me deliberate is that the lawyer vilifies Sun Wukong in A Journey to the West as a symbol of

barbarism and violence in the court ,then Datong is enraged and then rushes to fight the lawyer . We all can know the reason ,because Sun Wukong is a hero on behalf of justice , representing Chinese traditional values and virtues .

Guasha Treatment tells us that the key to avoid the conflict of different cultures is mutual understanding and tolerance.

The film review of “scrapping”

This movie is about a story which happened in an immigrant family living in the United States now. Dennis, a Chinese child, is having a fever and suffering from diarrhea. Since his grandfather was from Beijing and didn’t understand the drugs’ English instruction, he used the long history Chinese wisdom therapy scrapping to treat Dennis. But he never predicted that this treatment became the evidence of Dennis’ father abused the child. In the court, a series of conflicts is followed, and the so happy family became fragmented in a few time.

We can’t imagine scrapping is just a little thing for Chinese. Why should it become a legal setbacks in the United States. Scrapping has experienced thousands of years’ history. Why became illegal behavior in the US. This question is very valuable for people to think about it. As far as I’m concerned, this problem is due to the cultural differences between Chinese and western country. Western people cannot believe the treatment of Guasha which has a long history in China. The culture differences existed in everywhere. Different country has different cultures. We should realize it ,and accept it sometime.

But there is also a more important reason that the court didn’t understand the true things and didn’t verify the illegal evidence. Because the cultural difference itself is an objective factor. Only when cultural differences can’t be accepted this tragedy would happen. As we all know the low is justice, and the court needs the fact. In this film, scrapping hadn’t really be understood, the court deprived the custody of Xu Datong. It’s no doubt that they didn’t understand correctly and verify the illegal evidence, which lead to the contrary to the justice of law. If the court knows the differences between Chinese and foreign cultures,

it won’t make such a ridiculous decision.

Another bright spot of this film is the father’s love. At the hearing Xu Datong expressed impatience that totally different from his personality as an engineer. He feels anxiety and fear that he is going to lose his child. He spirited away Dennis at the contact of the law. In order not to let Dennis know the truth, he played a game with Dennis and Dennis had a good sleep. In the end, Xu climb nine floors to make his love climax.

“Scrapping” is valuable for people to watch. It’s rich in cultural connotations. Of course things have been solved satisfactorily Finally, the prosecution of the court has been revoked. The result of the film in addition to the normal conscience and more is due to the communication and understanding of each other. I think the hero’s name is “Da Tong”. Its true meaning is the communication and understanding of other culture.
