Gingguo, who had just arrived in the old street, became silent and timid because of her mother's departure. The secret mailbox under the ancient ginkgo tree at the door of her grandmother's yard became her spiritual sustenance. The talking ginkgo leaf turned into a messenger, helping her convey her thoughts about her mother, and also quietly guiding her in the direction of courage. From mustering up the courage to buy a bunch of candied haws, to becoming friends with the boy next door, Maodou, through books, Gingguo slowly lets go of his guard and discovers the warmth and beauty of the old street through letters written with ginkgo leaves. This is a story that hides longing and growth. Let us follow Ginkgo and learn to open our hearts and embrace a new life amidst the rustling of ginkgo leaves.
Purpose: From a childish perspective, it tells the story of the power of longing and companionship, and how children can use the opportunity of warmth to let go of their defenses, gain courage, and complete the process of self-growth in a strange environment.
