The groundhog shown in the movie "Goodbye Groundhog" is a wild animal that grows on the plateau at an altitude of 4,500 meters. With its small ears, round eyes and short neck, the groundhog is very cute, smart and lively, with a gentle character, and likes to play with people who are close to it. The story takes place in "Mosca", a village in Danba County, Ganzi Prefecture. The village is very simple and simple, with few residents. The pure, natural and uncontested environment makes "Mosca Village" the "last village" in western Sichuan. The local groundhogs like to play with people and ask for food from the local shepherds, and they are the playmates of the children here, as well as the villagers' "friends for generations". No killing has made this place a paradise for wild animals. Whether it is a gray-haired old woman or a young herdsman, they feed the groundhogs every day, and the affection between them has been passed on from generation to generation, maintaining a close and intimate relationship. The movie takes "groundhogs and children" as its main subject, and tells the story of a small mountain village called Mosca, where a young boy, Qunpei, is seduced by a tablet computer in the hands of a foreign merchant, and his head is attracted to the game in the computer. In order to get the tablet computer and the game, Qunpei fails to resist the merchant's temptation, and agrees to the merchant's request, and decides to catch a groundhog in exchange for it! catch a groundhog in exchange! This act breaks the "pact" between the groundhog and the villagers, and also leads to the breakup of Gunpei's friendship with his best friend, Baima. Gunpei is devastated and saddened by the loss of Pema. Qunpei gradually comes to his senses and admits to his best friend, Pema, that he has done something wrong to the groundhog, and asks Pema to go with him to rescue the groundhog. Through the protection and rescue of the groundhog by the two handsome teenagers, the movie vividly shows the purity and kindness of the children's hearts, expresses the intimate relationship between man and nature, and presents the beauty that touches the hearts of Qunpei and Baima as the two children's hearts grow up and sublimate.
