The Gua Sha Treatment (Chinese: 刮痧; pinyin: guā shā) is a Chinese movie directed by Zheng Xiaolong released in 2001 starring Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Zhu Xu, and Jiang Wenli.
Datong has lived in the U.S. for eight years, and while receiving an award for work, remarks that he loves the United States and fulfilling his American Dream.
Social workers, however, mistake the traditional Chinese medical treatment for child abuse due to the obvious marks left on Dennis' back.
A furious Datong insists that the prosecution does not understand the cultural value of Sun Wukong[1][2] and that the icon's inclusion does not mean he abuses his son.
Datong's friend and lawyer, John Quinlan (Hollis Houston), tries Gua Sha and proves that the treatment leaves painful-looking marks that are not actually painful or harmful at all.
