- Main theme on redevelopment and progression of a small town/village in Mainland China.
- Highlights life choices, career path, importance of education, differences in thinking between different generation of Asians, how Asian women have evolved over the last 20 years.
Differences: There isn’t much of a focus on romance in Story of Xing Fu, choices made by women was still an important theme but the script of Story of Xing Fu was apparently majorly edited hence why. Meet Yourself has quite a bit of humour but not in SoXF.
