The story of "Listening to the Ear" took place in 1994. Most of the background of this painting comes from downtown Tama near Tokyo. Everything becomes very ordinary and real, as if things were happening around you. Unlike most girls' stories, the hero and heroine in this film are immersed in love that is always on the verge of life and death. Instead, they encourage each other to learn from each other and strive for their own ideals, which is very different from the idea that many teenagers read good books and make big money today.

It tells the story of the protagonist, a junior high school girl named Rose Mao, who loves reading. One day, he noticed a person who always borrowed the book before her on the library cards of several books he borrowed-Amasawa Seiji. My experience of meeting her and Tianze later, with the tracking of Tianze's fat cat, came to Tianze's home in the mid-levels and hills, and started the love and mutual encouragement between Yuedao and Tianze. The story also vaguely shows the balance between the reality of middle school students' further education and the realization of their wishes-although the "original stone" is beautiful, it still needs to be carved to become a great tool; The scene of Yue Shimao and Tianze's family playing together fascinated many viewers. There is another story in Tianze's home. Tianze has a sculpture of a cat baron in his home, and his eyes are inlaid with two gems. The light refracted by the setting sun fascinated the visiting Moon Island. This cat man also witnessed the sad story of Grandpa Tianze and his lover antique collector, and also brought inspiration and mental journey to Yue Daoyong's novel creation. In 2002, Baron Cat and Fat Cat reappeared in another work by Studio Ghibli, Thanksgiving for Cats, and they became the protagonists.
