벤, 피니, 체리는 우연히 오래된 음반에서 기이한 생명체 사진을 발견한다. 본 적도 들은 적도 없고, 인공지능도 알지 못하는 이 생명체는 기린이라는 이름을 가진 동물. 세 친구는 가까운 과거에 생명체와 인간이 공존했다는 놀라운 사실을 알게 되고 지구의 옛모습을 찾아 시간 여행을 떠난다.

Hongli is a Chinese sexologist who meets women of all ages at her practice in Beijing. Although the stories are wide-ranging, all her clients are struggling with the expectations of society. Thirty-two-year-old Wen-wen, for example, is an attractive and successful single woman, but she is viewed as a “leftover”: if a woman hasn’t found a man by her 30th birthday, she has missed the proverbial boat. Her parents are deeply ashamed. What did they do wrong? Beijing may look modern, but the traditional mores affecting women of all ages and classes are very old-fashioned. In Fallen Flowers Thick Leaves, women talk candidly about being married to a man they don’t love, about being lesbian and finding acceptance, about cautious feminism, and about those who – in utter desperation and shame at their failed love life – decide to become nuns. To what extent do ancient traditions, the Cultural Revolution and the modern economy affect the social status of modern Chinese women?
