One morning, the elder brother reads out from the newspaper that girls outnumber boys in the younger age groups of which Li Ping falls into.

The mother instructs the brother to mail to I-Fan, Li Ping's best photograph. I-Fan came back and Li Ping's mothet convinced I-Fan's mother that Li Ping is gentle and beautiful. Unfortunately, Li Ping came back dirty and scruffy from a mountain climbing trip with a big bird (could be an eagle). They started seeing each other to stop their mothers from nagging at them. Li Ping decided to find another girlfriend for I-Fan so that this matter be settled. She introduced her 2nd brother's girlfriend to I-Fan. They get along fine and Li Ping becomes jealous instead.

Will her brother break off his relationship with the girlfriend? Click for the conclusion.
This is a light-hearted romantic movie. Brigitte does a lot of activities in this show. She catches lizards, swims, mountain climbing, baseball, basketball, high jump, hurdles, running and arm wrestling. Definitely not melodramatic. Very good chemistry between Brigitte and Alan.
