The animation is exceptionally well-crafted by the animators, and the voice artists have done an impressive job bringing the characters to life. The first story revolves around Xiao Ming, who cherishes memories of eating San Xian noodles with his grandmother during his childhood.

This segment teaches us the importance of remembering our roots and where we come from. It evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of the foods we enjoyed in our childhood. The second part delves into the story of two sisters, one a fashion model and the other a fashion designer.

However, they later reconcile, and the first sister finds success with the help of her younger sister's thinking and ideas. This tale teaches us that setbacks are a natural part of life, but we must never give up, and with the support of loved ones, we can achieve great things. The third part focuses on the love story between Xiao Yu and Li Mo, who communicate via cassette tapes. Years later, Li Mo discovers one of these tapes and learns a secret about Xiao Yu. It reveals that Xiao Yu purposely failed a test to ensure Li Mo's success in an elite high school, even enduring punishment from her father.
