While modestly budgeted, Wishing Tree gained a small cult following on streaming platforms for its emotional third act and Zhang Tianai’s performance as a woman slowly forgetting how to love. Critics noted it as a more intimate, less action-heavy take on the "wish-gone-wrong" genre compared to big-budget fantasies.

Wishing Tree blends contemporary romance with light fantasy and moral fable. The story follows (Wang Ziqi), a struggling painter who has lost his creative spark after a personal tragedy. On the verge of giving up his career, he hears a local legend about an ancient banyan tree deep in the countryside — the "Wishing Tree" — that can make any sincere wish come true. wishing tree film
