Impression On the Film Gua Sha Treatment
"Person in the United States, it is very difficult to blend into local culture." I read in the circle to be optimistic about the film "Gua Sha," after the greatest feeling. With the advance of the screen, the interpretation of the story, an American of Chinese society now ran the family encountered.
After years of hard work, Xu Datong, a Chinese immigrant to the US, has finally achieved success as an outstanding video game designer. With his promising career and loving family, he feels he has become a true American. Datong’s father comes over from China, and uses a traditional Chinese medical technique, called guasha, to treat Datong`s son, Dennis. Unexpectedly, an American doctor thinks the bruises on Dennis` back left by the guasha treatment are signs of child abuse, and the finger is pointed at Datong. The Treatment is a moving portrayal of the enormous gulfs between cultures and their possible repercussion between cultures and their possible repercussions.
The film “Gua Sha-the Treatment” reflects the difference of value and culture views between western society and orient society. China society has been receiving impact of Confucianism for thousands years. Confucianism is known as paying regard to human relationship and ethic. Piety, courtesy and loyalism are most important ethic. But in Western culture which is more emphasis on indivialism, independence and equality. So conflicts in culture and value are unavoidable. These conflicts have shown in the story.
In Chinese culture, physical punishment is commonly used by Chinese family. They think this will help to growing up. But in western society it is absolutely forbidden. Any abusing children was viewed as illegal conct. As to show respect to friends, Da Tong Xu punished his own son physically in front of friends. But this was misinterpreted as violence by his foreign friends. This is a misunderstanding in culture between East and West.
How to avoid the tragedy of the story? We must strengthen the East-West cultural exchange and learning, and only with respect to different cultures and inclusive will it be possible to avoid the culture and values of conflict.
② 观看电影《刮痧》，基于你对影片的理解对比分析中美文化价值观。建议使用Hofstede的文化价值维度
1: Power Distance: The US and China are differnent. In the movie, you could see that Datong show more respects to his boss. He hit his son in front of his boss to give his boss face.
2. Uncertainty Avoidance: American has higher uncertainty avoidance, and the China has low Uncertainty avoidance. In the court, the judge doesn't accept the uncertain answers. As the judge said," show me states". Becuase Americans don't know about what is Gua Sha. They don't try to understand and listen Datong's explanations. Americans just approves the facts and prooves.
3, indivialism： American is more indivial than Chinese. In the movie, you can see the relationship between son and father, Datong and his boss. American treats the kid indivially. So the Chind Protection Association tries to protect the child from abusing. However, for Chinese, Child should live with parents.
4. masculinity: In the court, Datong said that he did Guasha for his son, but that's not true. At this part, Datong showed his masculinity. Becuase he is a man, he has to protect his father. He has to undertake all of responsibilities.

THE TREATMENT (GUA SHA)
by Rich Cline
A Chinese film shot completely on location in St. Louis, this is an off-beat hybrid that never quite works, even though it has a worthy and intriguing central premise. A young, successful Chinese immigrant couple (Tony Leung Ka Fai and Jiang Wenli) give their 5-year-old son (Dennis Zhu) a painless, ancient Chinese treatment called gua sha, which leaves marks on the boy's back. This alerts the authorities, who take the child away and charge the parents with abuse and neglect. Numerous court hearings ensue, followed by lots of overwrought melodrama, which will probably please Eastern audiences much more than Western ones. The acting is uneven (the Asian cast is superb; most of the Americans are, frankly, awful), as are the proction values (very slick camera work sits at odds with a cheesy musical score). First-time director Zheng Xiaolong will probably find success back home with this cautionary tale of life in the Promised Land. But few Americans or Europeans will take its TV movie-of-the-week sensibilities very seriously.
Review by Rich Cline
Gua Sha had its world premiere at the St Louis International Film Festival
A compelling tale of culture clash in middle America, Gua Sha centres on a young Chinese couple (Leung and Jiang) who immigrate to St Louis with their bright young son (Zhu), who they're raising to be a proper American. Then a doctor treating the boy for a minor bump notices strange scarring on his back, social services step in to protect the child and a legal battle ensues, dragging the parents through the courts to prove them as abusive and neglectful, which of course they're not. The marks are from an ancient (and painless) Chinese medical treatment called gua sha.
OK, so it's not much more than a made-for-TV premise, and the filmmaking is pretty tame in many respects, tracing the obvious melodramatic storyline from the family's delirious happiness through the most bleak darkness imaginable. First-time director Zheng has an excellent technical crew behind him, but the performances are extremely uneven (the Asian cast is superb; most Yanks seem like they're from a local amateur theatre group). And finally, the cheesy musical score combines with overwrought plot points to alienate Western viewers, leaving us quite intrigued by the themes and story possibilities, but disappointed by the film itself.

Gua Sha, known as kerik in Indonesia, Cao Gio in Vietnam (see Harvey Keitel's The Three Seasons) and khoud lam in Laos is a legitimate and effective therapy. In Asia it is usually done with a coin, Chinese soup spoon, slice of water buffalo horn, or even a slice of ginger. A simple cap with a rounded edge is quite good to use and available in most homes in the West. It was not commonly done with wood, but if smooth and the right edge it could be. There is a teaching text in English called Gua Sha. A Traditional Technique for Modern Practice, and a teaching video: Gua Sha: Step-by-Step, by Arya Nielsen.If an acupuncturist is trained in Classical Chinese medicine, they will do this technique in their practice for pain, and for acute or chronic illness.

Gua Sha - The Treatment (2001)
EmailWritten by pppatty on Jan-29-09 3:32am

Life is full of surprises. I religiously scour the German television scheles (which I receive by satellite) for oddities, particularly on the German/French arts channel Arte. I have found most of my silent collection there; for example, last week they showed a 2007 restoration of Intolerance (1916) and their selection of unusual cinema is matchless. The only problem with them (and all of the other German channels) is their propensity for overbbing rather than relying on subtitles.
I noticed the above Taiwanese film in the afternoon scheles and didn't bother to check it out; I just noted that it was starring Tony Leung and I assumed it would be something pretty special. Well for a start it wasn't the Tony Leung of the recent Wong Kar Wai and Ang Lee films but the actor of the same name who starred in "The Lover" (1992), who is also a fine actor but not the one I was expecting. The next surprise is that this was a modern-day drama, set and filmed in St. Louis, Missouri and written primarily in English, which led to the very pleasant surprise that the movie was not bbed but used German subtitles for the dialogue which switched between English and Mandarin (and I was able to cope with these for the brief non-English dialogue).
But enough about the background: the final surprise was how involving the story was. Leung plays a prize-winning computer game designer, who, together with his equally intelligent wife and US-born 6-year son, is trying to assimilate into the American life style and the American dream. He has brought over his non-English-speaking father from the mainland and hopes to obtain a green card for him. When the child falls at home and is taken to hospital for stitches, the doctors note the extreme bruising on his back and conclude that he has been abused; and the do-gooder social workers immediately remove the cosseted child from his home and very loving parents. All attempts to explain that the bruising is the result of an ancient Chinese health treatment known as Gua Sha -- and in fact administered by the grandfather -- do not impress the ignorant court and they deem the child permanently at risk. The Child Services lawyer takes pleasure in presenting the father as a violent man -- based on the kind of games he designs -- and provokes him into losing his temper in court which hardly helps his case. I don't want to go on to explain how this situation develops and how it resolves itself, even if the film does not appear to be on DVD at present, as the possible spoilers are many. I will just mention that the penultimate scenes involve Leung in a Santa Claus suit climbing up the drainpipe to the family's ninth floor apartment with a toy monkey in his arm -- real heart in your throat action. I could do with a lot more surprises like this one.

Review Summary
Hong Kong indie film icon Tony Leung stars in this Chinese proction about cultural misunderstanding and intolerance. Datong (Leung) is a patrician of a St. Louis Chinese-American family and a designer of violent video games. When Datong's father (Zhu Xu) visits from China, he performs some traditional Chinese medicine on his young grandson. Though painless, the treatment leaves bright red marks on the skin, which are interpreted by the kid's teacher as welts. Soon the Child Welfare Agency is accusing the family of child abuse and transfers the kid to a foster home. This film was screened at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
