BAO, a story of a lonely mother whose little dumpling comes to life, has touched the hearts of millions. The Oscar-winning short film was directed by Chinese-Canadian Domee Shi（石之予）. Bao tells bao a heart-warming tale of parental love and the loss feeling when children grow older and leave home.
①The mother finds great joy in caring for her little dumpling boy. But all little “baos” grow up. They make friends and become independent. As the dumpling becomes a teen, he pulls away from his mom. All teens can relate to this frustrating time; ②父母想要对待你像小“包宝宝”，即使你几乎是一个成年人了。
As the mother tries hard to stop her “bao” from leaving, she puts him into her mouth and swallows（吞下）him. She is immediately filled with regret and sadness. Her desire to keep him close makes her lose him forever.
Are your parents too protective? Do they make you feel like a “little dumpling”? Do you feel unhappy about this? If so, it will help to remember the love and sadness of the mother in Bao. When you want to roll your eyes（翻白眼）in frustration, remember that your parents are motivated by love. The desire to become more independent is normal. However, you are expected to express your feelings without “lashing out（斥责）” like “bao” does in the film. Ask your parents how you can have some privacy（隐私）and independence in a way that makes them feel comfortable. And remind them that, in some way, you will always be their “little bao”.
