Peacock (Chinese: 孔雀; pinyin: kǒng què) is a 2005 film directed by Gu Changwei, written by Li Qiang.

The youngest child is an introverted, quiet boy who is ashamed of his older brother and tries to break away from his family's misery.

In order to get his attention, she steals her mother's money to buy him gifts but ultimately does not give it to him after seeing him with her other classmates.

In order to recreate her dreams, she knits a makeshift parachute and attaches it to her bike, which she rides down the street before being stopped by her mother.

After some time, Wei Hong is working at a factory washing pharmaceutical bottles and sees Guozi with her parachute attached to his bike.

Weihong continues to wonder around searching for purpose and meets an old man playing the accordion, whom she develops a father-daughter relationship with.

The story then shifts back to the family eating at a table and this time follows the events of the older brother, Weiguo.

One day, when Weiguo shows up at school to bring Weiqiang an umbrella, he is accused of being a peeping tom after he stands outside the girls' bathroom.

When the girl later turns her back on Weiqiang, he decides to get rid of Weiguo by putting rat poison in his drink at night.

After previous attempts to make a match for Weiguo, the parents arrange for him to meet a girl with a physical disability.

Weihong spots the army officer she used to idolise in the streets but finds that he has become a regular person wearing simple clothing.
