Consideration about Gua Sha
The movie Gua Sha (The Treatment) is typical for showing explicitly the differences of culture and the way of thinking between countries as well as modern and tradition.
It tells the story about Xu Datong, a video games designer in St.Louis.When his father visits from China, he performs Gua Sha (a Chinese traditional treatment) on his grandson, which leaves bright red marks on the skin and causes a lawsuit of child abuse.In the court, Datong loses his mind so that finally he loses custody of his son.
Gua Sha is a treatment in traditional oriental medicine in which a wooden board repeatedly slides acro the patient\'s acupuncture acupreure maage points.It works in similar principles like that of acupuncture acupreure maage.This method would inevitably leave bruise on the skin.
Actually, the treatment of Gua Sha means to get rid of blocks and obstacles in the body and to make one healthy and sound.In the movie, it also means to break the differences of culture and the way to thinking between China and the United States.
Apart from the culture distinctions, the way of thinking is also different between the two countries.The U.S.always pays more attention to logical thinking and the respect for an individual person, even if it’s just a kid and they always seem cold and indifferent to us Chinese.While in China, we value much the collectivism, which means we cherish and care our parents, our children, our families as well as others and even strangers.
In the movie, there are cultural conflicts and cultural convergence going together.Datong is a name which means the same and harmony, and Datong is the father who is trying to integrate his Chinese cultural beliefs into his daily American reality.The conversations of this film are also a combination of Chinese and English, just like the world, a combination of Chinese culture and American culture, holding true things to the integration of both worlds.
The movie also shows the eternal theme of love.The love between parents and children, couples, friends, and even strangers which we can see clearly from the last part of the movie when Datong succeeded in climbing to his home on the ninth floor, people who are watching as well as the policemen all applause and congratulate him.This is love which is eternal in the universal even if there are differences.
What imprees me the most is the last scene, when on Christmas day，Datong, who mies his son so much, pretends to be Santa Claus climbing along the water pipe to his house on the ninth floor.I’m almost in tears when I see their family holding together no matter what obstacles they are facing.In the end, Chinese culture, like Gua Sha, can also be approved by the west gradually, which means the integration of different cultures and also means a world of Datong, a world of harmony.
