Qiu Qiu (pronounced as Choo Choo) loves his toys-but they have piled up into a mountain in the corner of his room. A mountain so big that he doesn't know where to begin cleaning up.
One spring evening, as Qiu Qiu and his Mama walk through fields of golden rapeseed flowers, Qiu Qiu tells his Mama the ancient Chinese story of Yu Gong, the old man who believed that even the largest mountains could be moved-one stone at a time.
With Mama's gentle guidance and encouragement, Qiu Qiu begins to see that his own pile of toys can be tackled little by little, just like Yu Gong's mountains.
