The story begins as archaeologists discover a crudely-made artifact while doing an archaeological study before the entire area was to be flooded following the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The archaeologists identify it as being made by Mak-zi (also known as "McFat"), an ancient Chinese philosopher who had invented many things, but were arguably ahead of its time - for example, a myriad of electronic devices before the discovery of electricity. However, the crudeness of the artifact has led to the artifact being rejected for every museum in China and abroad, and thus, unwilling to destroy it, the artifact was set on a barge, continuously moving along the Yangtze River. The story continues on to Mak-zi's descendant 18 generations later, McDull (Kwok Kwan Yin), a kindergartener living in Hong Kong.

Where it came from
McDull: Xiang Dang Dang, known in English as McDull: Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong, was released in 2009 by Bliss Pictures as the fourth installment in the beloved Hong Kong animated franchise. Directed by Toe Yuen, the film was conceived to continue the saga of the earnest but academically challenged piglet, McDull, this time exploring his mother's dreams for him to master the art of martial arts. The film reflects the franchise's signature blend of poignant social commentary and whimsical humor, grounding its fantastical premise in the relatable struggles of a working-class family in Hong Kong.
The character design of McDull, originally created by Alice Mak and Brian Tse, is celebrated for its intentional simplicity and gentle aesthetic, which contrasts with the intricate, often chaotic world the characters inhabit. By 2009, the series had already established a distinct visual identity characterized by a soft, watercolor-inspired palette and a rhythmic, philosophical narrative style. Critics and audiences praised the film for its emotional depth and its ability to balance lighthearted slapstick with a sophisticated exploration of hope, failure, and the bond between mother and son, reinforcing McDull's status as a cultural icon of Hong Kong cinema.
