"A toy box with only rope? "Speaking of "Beyond Money", it is mentioned that the protagonist Xiaohu has many toys, but in fact, a simple rope can bring endless fun.

Dispel the "intellectual integrity" and convey positive values by telling stories
The other two "You First, Me First" and "Time to Spend" are the subjects of obedience, fairness and responsibility, and care. The story is also based on the situations that children see in their daily lives.
