Scrambling, a trivial matter that is normal to China people, inexplicably involved a happy family in an absurd lawsuit because of the cultural differences between China and the West. The movie Guasha tells such a story. Xu Datong, the hero, came to the United States with his dreams, and finally gained a foothold in this land through his own efforts. He not only has his own career, but also has a gentle wife janine and a lovely son Dennis. In order to be filial, he sent his old father to America. One night, little Dennis had a fever, and both husband and wife were away, but Xu Fu couldn't understand the English instructions on the medicine bottle, so he had to scrape it with Chinese medicine. After an accidental collision, Xu Datong sent his son to the hospital, but the nurse in the hospital found the "scar" on Dennis's back, which was caused by scraping. They accused Mr. and Mrs. Xu Datong of abusing children, and Mr. and Mrs. Xu Datong began to compete with the children's welfare home for the custody of children, and Chinese and western cultures began to collide.

In the movie, Tony Leung Ka Fai plays Xu Datong, a good son, father and husband. As a son, he considers everything for his father. In court, in order to let his father not worry or blame himself, he would rather bear all the pain himself. In order to get his father a green card smoothly, he even lied to the judge and admitted that he helped Dennis scrape it. As a father, he would tell stories to put Dennis to sleep; He will fight against gangsters regardless of danger, just to get back the Christmas present for his son; He will risk his life to climb up to his home on the ninth floor along the downspout on Christmas Eve, just to fulfill his promise to his son. As a husband, when Jane is sad, he will make his wife laugh with his humor. But such a person also has his shortcomings, irritability. In court, he was angered by the words of the opposing lawyer, made excessive behavior, and lost the situation that was originally beneficial to him. Having said that, we can't help but talk about another identity of Xu Datong. As an immigrant from China,

He thinks America is a place where his dreams can be realized. He tried to adapt to the United States, integrate into the United States and become an American. In order to give Dennis a good language environment, he and his wife, who are also immigrants from China, have been communicating in English. He thought that after living in America for eight years, he could fully integrate into this country. However, he was wrong. He can change clothes, but he can't change his skin color; He can learn languages, but he can't learn ways of thinking. He has always been from China, and some things are deeply rooted. Xu Datong grew up in China, and his outlook on life and values inevitably bears the "shadow" of China. China and western countries have different histories and naturally have different cultural connotations.

Regarding friendship, Quinlan, the boss of Xu Datong, was going to court to help Xu Datong, but when he saw the scar left by Dennis's scratch, he stopped talking. This aroused Xu Datong's strong dissatisfaction. He thought he was not a friend enough, so Xu Datong resigned directly after he walked out of the court. In China, we will provide convenience to others more or less, because they are closely related to us, but the boss in Xu Datong doesn't. Quinlan lived in America since he was a child, and he grew up in America, so he looked at it with an American attitude. When Quinlan thought that Xu Datong had abused Dennis, he stopped defending him, which was an attitude of treating people with others. Later, I learned from Xu's father that scrapping is a Chinese medicine therapy, so I came to China for verification. He made great efforts for the reunion and integrity of Xu Datong's family, and this friendship is worth cherishing. It can also be seen from this point that the legal concepts of European and American countries are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In education. When Dennis had a fight with Quinlan's son, Xu Datong asked Dennis to apologize without asking. Dennis didn't want to, so he hit Dennis hard. Xu Datong thinks this is a respect for his friends, but Quinlan, Xu Datong's good friend, thinks he is unreasonable. This is the difference between things. In the protection of children. China's laws lack provisions on the custody of children.

Fixed, while the United States is relatively sound. In the film, Americans commit crimes by leaving their children alone at home, which makes China people feel incredible. America's right to protect children is not individual, but public. In the film, when the nurse found the scar on Dennis's back, she immediately reported it to the police. Others also actively testify in court, in order to prevent children from living in an environment that they think is abusive. By contrast, the public in China is less courageous. People in China generally believe that educating children is a matter for parents, and others had better stay out of it. I'm not very active in testifying in court. It's better to have more than one thing. It is true that China should learn from the West.

The gap between China and the West does exist, but I believe that as long as both sides can work hard, this cultural gap can be bridged. In the film, Quinlan came to China to help the Xu family reunite and experience the scraping therapy for themselves. At the same time, Mr. Lao Xu also mentioned the TV documentary about scrapping in his letter to Datong. Isn't this an example of both sides trying to get to know each other? In the process of cultural exchange between China and the West, I think the most important thing is mutual respect and understanding. Don't judge other people's behavior with your own ideas, learn to communicate with each other, learn from each other's culture and make progress together. The lawyer in the film is a negative example. He magnified the Monkey King's shortcomings and deliberately concealed the Monkey King's image of justice. The different cultural and moral concepts between China and the West are gradually formed in the course of their respective historical development. We should respect and understand each other. The world is one. No matter what kind of conflicts exist between cultures, moral concepts and laws in different countries, the most fundamental purpose is for the harmony of mankind. In the film, Xu Datong and his wife filed a lawsuit in the welfare home, demanding a good living environment for Dennis. The film has a happy ending. No matter how big the cultural differences are, as long as we have a heart to understand others, a scale to accept the essence of other countries' culture, and love, the world will not be far away.
