Now an adult, Ying Ying decides to follow her dreams by taking the interplanetary high-speed train to Mars, which means bidding goodbye to her family. Ying Ying's grandmother accompanies her all the time and takes care of the little girl until she grows into an adult. She deeply misses her mother, who joined the project and so is never at home. Ying Ying, the episode's main character, often watched the construction of the high-speed train station as a child. These stations are home to interplanetary high-speed rail shuttles, which are the only way to travel between the Earth and Mars. In Kong's futuristic world, looking up at the night sky on Earth, high speed train stations can be seen floating far above the planet. Kong noted that the core of this story is homesickness and the journey back home. While this sets up new lands for exploration, Kong said he thinks people in such a setting will still be concerned about their relatives and the places that are important to them back on Earth. When talking with the Global Times, Kong praised the production technology and visuals in Chinese sci-fi animation, while also mentioning the high quality of Liu's sci-fi works.Īfter more than 60 years of rapid development in science and technology, human beings finally set foot on planets beyond Earth.
