Bye bye! My Little Goldfish

In the summer of 2050, six-year-old Jia He learns that her best friend, Alai, is about to move away. In their innocent attempt to stop the farewell, they accidentally shatter a fishbowl, and the fragile life of a small goldfish slips away before their eyes. To ease the pain of loss, Alai suggests recreating the fish with bionic technology—an immortal substitute. But Jia He refuses, choosing to embrace imperfection rather than accept a false replacement for what was once real. Through the eyes of two children, Letting a Goldfish Go reflects on a future where the boundary between authentic and artificial life grows increasingly blurred. Tender yet profound, the film reminds us that technology can replicate forms, but it can never replace the purity of true friendship and the irreplaceable weight of saying goodbye.
