First, the story told in the process of growing up, many people will encounter troubles. Because of the cooperation of ancestors and gods, every girl in this family will experience the curse of becoming a panda. In this film, we can see some Chinese-style parent-child relationships, which only China audiences can understand more deeply. Because Xiaomei will become a little panda, and this transformation also has metaphors, suggesting that the adolescent "Seeds of Love" is a kind of self-pursuit, but also a kind of resistance to the family. For Xiaomei, she has always been entangled, wanting to be a little baby in her mother's mind and not being controlled by her parents.
Second, the resistance to her identity Xiaomei became a red panda and became a red man in school. No one can resist the charm of giant pandas. Xiaomei has her own favorite band and has always performed very well. In the eyes of her mother, Xiaomei has always been a very obedient daughter. If Xiaomei does something that her mother can't accept, she will make all kinds of criticisms. After Xiaomei transformed, she began to do what she wanted with her own identity.
Although many mothers want their daughters to be excellent, in their minds, their daughters are a screen carefully carved by themselves, and they want their daughters to be what they imagined. But each daughter is an independent individual. Finally, Xiaomei slowly resisted the bondage of her mother and finally learned to heal and accept herself. This is a film shot by Chinese-American female directors, so this film contains many China elements, such as cheongsam, Taoist priest, costume drama and so on.
