Datong Xu: Yes I do! I think you don‘t understand. You know, Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment used for nearly all kinds of illnesses. For thousands of years, Chinese medicine had recognized that there are seven Jing and eight Mai（七经八脉）. Er, for example, it is like small streams that run in to rivers and in turns fall into a sea. A person‘s body has an invisible but very complex system of vessel network, just like the computer network. And also the human Qi from Dantian finally goes to Dantian. It is the same principle!!
大同徐：是的，我有！我想，你不明白。要知道，刮痧是用于几乎所有种类的疾病的中国传统医学治疗。千百年来，中国医药已经认识到，有七景八迈（七经八脉）。呃，比如，它就像运行在河流和轮流落入海小溪流。一个人的身体有血管网的一种无形的但非常复杂的系统，就像计算机网络。而且还从丹田人齐终于进入丹田。它的原理是一样！ Judge: Your kind, what is he saying? 法官：你的善良，他在说什么？
Datong Xu: It‘s the kind of…(interrupted by the judge) 大同徐：这是那种......（法官打断）
Judge: We don‘t understand what you say. Perhaps I should put it in another way. What does it say on every Missouri license plate? 法官：我们不明白你说什么。也许我应该把它以另一种方式。它说什么了每个密苏里州车牌？
Datong Xu:Show-me state
（用证据说话）.大同许：见真章状态（用证据说话）
Judge: Precisely. Can you get an authoritative medical expert to back your testimony in plain English that an old country judge can understand?
法官：正是。你可以得到一个权威的医学专家来支持你的见证用简单的英语，一个古老的国家的法官能理解吗？ Datong Xu: Yes, I can try.
大同徐：是的，我可以试试。
Judge: Did you do this Gua Sha to your son yourself? 法官：你这样做刮痧你儿子自己吗？（停顿） (A pause)
Judge: Mr. Xu? 法官：徐先生？

Datong Xu: Yes, I did it myself. 大同徐：是的，我自己做的。 Mrs. Xu: No! It wasn‘t him. 徐太太：不！这是不是他。 （大同许开始说中国话。）
(Datong Xu started to speak Chinese.)
