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.
