Four questions:

1、What’s the main idea and the message or value of the movie that the director is going to convey?

Everyone of us tried to hide the true self when we are in adolescence. How many of us dare to face the real ourselves. People changed while they are growing, some of us locked a part of their personality and some keep it and face it.

2、Find three points that most touching or what you think is the most important details(conversation、picture or plot).

A/ When Meimei's mum followed her to school and was found by the safeguard. Mei drew many pictures of a boy, her mum went to yell at the boy and posed all the pictures. All those things made Meimei feel so awkward. And this is the style of Chinese parents, very typical. But I watched it with my daughter, I know I'll never do that kind of things.

B/When Mei's mum and her relatives, including her grandma, they hold a ritual  to help her to lock that red bear in her body. Mei looked into the mirror, she looked at the bear and the bear look at her, she wouldn't love to seperate with the bear. Finally, she decided to keep the bear.That time I know it was showing, we all have to face another kind of ourselves, leave it or keep it, we need a decision. I hope I can always be myself.

C/ What touched me most is the ending. Ming's mom and all the female relatives, they all call back their bears to save ming, I suddenly burst into tear, this is family, the deepest love, though you may have a not very good relationship with them, but if you are in need, they'll be there for you.

3、What did you learn from the movie?

Pay attention to the relationship between mum and daughter. Let her grow up happily, no need to pretend, just be herself.  

4、The background of the story.

Mei is a great student with all A+ and very confident. She has a mum, named Ming, concerned her too much. She went into her adolecence, changed a lot and what does her mum react to that.
