A baby gorilla named "Bao Bao" searches the forest for his mother to hold him. As they walked, they saw a mother elephant hugging her baby elephant, a mother lion hugging her baby lion, and a mother giraffe hugging her baby giraffe... The baby became more and more anxious and couldn't help but burst into tears. Just at this moment, the mother gorilla appeared and gave the little gorilla a sweet hug. The animals in the forest couldn't help but cheer "Hug!"
