YesAsia Editorial Description

Screened at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, Mainland film The Gua Sha Treatment is about the lives of Chinese immigrants in America. Starring award-winning Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka Fai, the film looks at Chinese-Western cultural differences from a special angle, and at the same time explores the notions of family and tradition in the context of cultural shock.

Video game designer Datong (Tony Leung) lives in St. Louis with his family. When Datong's father (Zhu Xu) visits from China, he performs a traditional Chinese medicinal treatment, "Gua Sha", on his young grandson. Though painless, the treatment leaves bright red marks on the skin which are interpreted by the kid's teacher as signs of abuse. The family is accused of child abuse, and Datong's son gets transferred to a foster home...

  電腦動畫設計師許大同與妻子簡寧到美國奮鬥八年,兩人都事業有成,兒子丹尼斯聰明可愛,是夫妻倆的寶貝。老父親從中國來看望兒子一家人,可許大同為了儘快融入美國社會,在兒子面前只講英語。爺爺與孫子在家,丹尼斯偶有不適沒去學校,爺爺不懂英文,便用中國傳統的刮痧療法為孫子治病,很快就好了,大家都沒放在心上。一天,丹尼斯不慎碰傷,大同將他送到醫院,醫生在為孩子檢查時看到背上紫紅色的刮痕,不知是什麼原因,認為大同虐待孩子,報告了保護兒童權益的機構,該機構以虐待兒童的罪名將大同送上法庭,由於大同拿不出刮痧是中醫的一種治療方法的證據,法院判丹尼斯由兒童福利院監管。許大同氣憤之餘提出上訴,他拼命舉證自己是如何愛自己的兒子,可由於文化背景不同;控方律師的舉證:妻子難產時,他因工作忙沒到醫院陪;兒子與公司老闆的兒子玩遊戲衝突時,他打了兒子一巴掌;為了父親的事他將睡覺的兒子獨自放在家裡;甚至他設計的動畫遊戲中歌頌孫悟空也遭到指責……這些許大同認為理所當然都成了對他不利的證據,他忍無可忍,憤怒地撲向控方律師。官司輸了,工作丟了,為使孩子能儘快回家,他與妻子分居,一家人陷入了悲痛、無奈之中。聖誕之夜,思子心切的話大同身穿聖誕老人的服裝,冒險從外面爬樓進了自己的家,與丹尼斯擁抱在一起,用行動證明了自己對兒子的愛,感動了到場的警察和所有的人,彌合了中西方文化的誤會與衝突。

It's a good movie, but... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I think the story about Gua Sha is very good. It shows to us the different cultures between American and Chinese. Also, it indicates the differences how Chinese and American raise their children. With almost 5000 years cultural background, there are a lot of Chinese traditions that others cannot understand.
The one thing I don't like about this movie is the ending... It was kind of stupid... Besides that, everything was good.

Good Movie Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
Very good movie. But let me take exception to what the previous reviewer said about "Americans being ignorant about Chinese culture". I seem to remember that there was a big scandal in Hong Kong lately where restaurant owners were decorating their places with NAZI MEMORABILIA because it was "trendy". Talk about IGNORANCE!!

The Gua Sha Treatment Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Beautiful movie. It depicts how ignorant the Americans are about the Chinese culture. It also shows how stubborn human beings are. I would recommend this movie to all kinds of people. It's a must have!
