The story tells the story of a brother and sister named Matthew and Marilla who lived in a farmhouse called Green Gables in Avonlea, Canada. Due to their old age, they planned to adopt a boy from the orphanage as a helper in the farmhouse. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, what was sent from the orphanage was an eleven-year-old girl with red hair, freckles, and chattering all day long-Anne. She lost her parents when she was young, and her life was full of hardships, but she was still optimistic, lively, passionate and romantic, and had a very rich imagination. Although she often got into trouble and made mistakes, her smart, straightforward and kind-hearted character gradually gained her sincere friendship and the love of her teachers. Her strong will and hard work also helped her successfully pass the Queen's College, and obtain a first-class teaching certificate and a university scholarship. But she couldn't bear to leave Green Gables and Marilla, who had been together day and night, and resolutely gave up the opportunity of university and chose to stay in Green Gables, repaying her kindness and never forgetting her original intention.
