A Bao is just a simple, honest, reckless, rambunctious little boy who loves to eat and play. It's like the growth process of each of you and me. However, everyone has growing pains. For him, punishing evil and cheating is not an annoyance, it satisfies his overwhelming sense of justice, practicing qigong is not an annoyance, it is his interest and pursuit, and the most troublesome thing for a person is to have a knot in his heart.

The same is true for Abao, all the troubles start from the question "Who am I", and this who am I, in a superficial view, includes his desire for his own life experience, the desire for fatherly love and motherly love, in a deep sense , is a person's fascination with one's own ins and outs, the irremovable attention to one's doubts, the anxiety of being afraid of not being loved, when one begins to doubt one's own existence, it is the beginning of losing one's self, and at the same time it is also the beginning of finding one's self . Even though we don't have lost parents, we don't have a tangled background, and we haven't been given the mission to save the common people, the question about "Who am I" emanating from our hearts may have grown up so kindly, maybe solved, maybe still. stay there.

When he couldn't help laughing or followed the story with tears in his eyes, he seemed to follow A Bao to unravel the answer. who I am? where am i from? What is the meaning of my existence? All questions can be answered in one sentence: enjoy the moment with inner peace.

Shen Wangye has been avoiding the fate of the future. His inner fear of the fate of the future made him sacrifice all the present. What he does now is to avoid being defeated by black and white knights one day, so he wants to kill all. The panda, plundering metal to make weapons, his fear of the future has made him unable to see clearly the present, so he is sadly held hostage by the future, because of fear, he will be angry and violent, and make up for the extreme emptiness in his heart with external strength .
A Bao was struggling with the past, and the moment he was attacked at the critical moment revealed his weakness. He wanted to know who his parents were, where they came from, and why he came to Daddy Goose. He wanted to know that his parents left him. The truth of the past, in fact, the answer in his subconscious is-because his parents don't love him, it can be seen from his nightmares. That's why he is so persistent in looking for that answer, and he wants others to tell him that your subconscious answer is wrong. Because this knot was not opened, it also made him unable to see the present clearly.
The film tells us through the mouth of the old goat that whether it is the past or the future, it is not as important as the present. Those who have been kidnapped by the past and the future often have the question "Who am I?" that haunts them, and they are in a constant state of panic and fail to appreciate a down-to-earth life.

Fortunately, through the reappearance of the old goat yesterday, the great family affection of the panda parents melted the doubts and worries in Abao's heart. He knew that he had biological parents who loved him very much. A soul without resentment is the most able to obtain inner peace, and a soul with inner peace can grasp the moment most keenly. So, after this, Po's friendship and family have reached a new height. He knows that the partners who work with him are the most important. Although there is no blood relationship, the father goose who has given him a lot of love is more important. Desire is a matter of the future, and regret is a matter of the past, so he will say to his partners in his heart. "I love you gugs" he will say to the father goose who is waiting for his return, the answer I found is that I am your son.

Maybe you don't have a good start, but what you think and choose right now constitutes the real you.
