The film——《Gua Sha Treatment》 tells the story of a Chinese family who immigrates to the Unit ed States,but falls into a series of troubles because the traditional Chinese medical therapy-Gua Sha is not understood and recognized by Americans.The film takes Gua Sha as the main line,reflecting the misunderstanding,conflict and integration caused by different cultural values be-tween China and America.This paper interprets the differences and conflicts between Chinese and American cultural values contained in the film from the perspectives of ethics,face and friendship,and points out that mutual adaptation and tolerance are effective meth-ods to overcome cultural barriers and improve the quality of communication in cross-cultural communication.
