The absolutely strong mother and the daughter who suppresses the self check and balance each other.

And all this has undergone earth-shaking changes after Meimei woke up to become a red panda.

At first, Meimei could not accept the fact that she had become a red panda, and she was emotional. Mistaken for her puberty, the mother, worried that she would not fit in, secretly followed her to the school, hiding under a tree outside the classroom to monitor her daughter's every move.

Mom's eventual whereabouts are exposed and she is discovered by Meimei's classmates, who ridicule Meimei as a "mother's treasure girl".

Beauty is self-contained, and emotions are out of control.

Later, her mother refused her request to go to the concert on the grounds that she was worried that Meimei would release the red pandas in her body due to emotional excitement, and did not forget to comment on Meimei's musical taste, thinking that the music she liked was "garbage".

Later, Meimei decided to save money to go to the concert with her sisters by making and selling panda peripheral products and was known to her mother. Mom actually ran to accuse her friends of bringing bad beauty.

Such a mother seems to make everyone feel a little suffocated.

But even after going through this, Meimei actually has no intention of breaking with her mother, and she is still afraid of failing her mother's expectations and is deeply sorry, because she knows: "All my mother's hopes and dreams are pinned on me." ”

Seeing this, I think everyone will feel sorry for this sensible child.

Xiao Bo was thinking, maybe not only beautiful mothers, but all of our parents need to think about a problem:

We all want children to be obedient and sensible, but do we want to cultivate a child who is obedient and has good grades, or a child who can really be himself?

For the first 12 years, Meimei has not dared to show her true self in front of her mother, covering up her personality and suppressing her own nature.

But from the release of the red panda that represents emotions in her body, she completely felt the wanton and happy release of herself, and even her father said that she was very interesting.

In the film, there is a very impressive scene: the encounter between Meimei and her adolescent mother. Meimei found that her adolescent mother had also faced the same problems as herself, but she finally chose sacrifice and dedication to achieve a perfect self in the eyes of others. This encounter made them truly open their hearts and complete the reconciliation of the mother-daughter relationship.

During the Red Moon Ceremony, Meimei looks back and sees the happy time of becoming a red panda when she passes through the mirror that examines herself, and finally decides to keep the red panda in her body.

In the end, Xiao Bo sincerely hopes that every child can be brave enough to be themselves, rather than living in the expectations of their parents.
