Matthew and Marilla, the siblings, live a simple and peaceful life at Green Gables. To find a helper for Matthew, who suffers from heart disease, they decide to adopt a boy from the orphanage. Unbeknownst to them, the orphanage sends a red-haired, talkative 11-year-old girl named Anne instead. Young Anne is innocent, enthusiastic, and full of romantic imagination. In her mind, playful streams laugh under the snow: if roses could talk, they would surely tell us many interesting stories; she even imagines her shadow and echo as two close friends, confiding in them her thoughts and feelings.
However, due to her love for imagination and "a desire for beauty," Anne gets herself into a series of troubles, constantly causing mischief and learning from her mistakes. With the care of her friends, family, and teachers, the little orphan Anne gradually grows into a joyful and beloved member of Green Gables.

The plot is full of twists and turns, captivating readers. The heartfelt love and selfless care of Matthew and Marilla for Anne are deeply moving, while Anne's innocent, kind-hearted, life-loving, and optimistic image remains unforgettable in readers' minds.
