Female growth fables, ideologies and postcolonial codewords are buried deep within the legendary intergenerational narrative. The extreme Western-style value orientation combines the classical, graceful and delicate symbols and audio-visual rhetoric of the East to create the third ideographic space, which combines the wandering and separation of cultural concepts. As a critical text, it is complex, and as a simple story text, it relies too much on the rules and routines in the classic narrative, so that there is not much surprise.

The clash of cultures is reflected in the lives of four mother-daughter pairs in the film, who love each other deeply, in their own way, unaware that sometimes this love will hurt each other.
Ying Ying: All around this house I see the signs. My daughter looks but she does not see. This is a house that will break into pieces. It's not too late. All my pains, my regrets, I will gather them together. My daughter will hear me calling, even though I've said no words. She will climb the stairs to find me. She will be scared because at first her eyes will see nothing. She will feel in her heart this place where she hides her fears. She will know I am waiting like a tiger in the trees, now ready to leap out and cut her spirit loose.
Ying Ying: Losing him does not matter. It is you who will be found - and cherished.
