When schoolboy Wang Bao discovers a magical gourd that can instantly grant his every wish, the awkward child suddenly becomes a hero amongst his curious classmates. When the gourd proves more of a burden than a blessing and the boy decides to get rid of it, he quickly discovers that's easier said than done.

Chen Peisi transforms a simple fable into a poignant lesson through his expressive, comedic timing. This whimsical journey captures the heavy cost of instant gratification when a child's newfound popularity turns into a permanent complication.
