The film tells the story of a steamed bun turned into a "baby bao" to bring family joy back to an elderly Chinese mother who is suffering from an empty nest, and let her understand the story of how her child will eventually grow up
It depicts a typical Chinese-style parent-child relationship with metaphors, but tells the story with a modern and international perspective, internalizing Chinese culture into a sincere emotion and contemporary reflection.
Nothing lasts forever, and children always grow up. What parents should do is to help their children grow up, instead of blindly tying them up. Children also have their own independent thoughts and do not want to be appendages to their parents.
