"Each day, his first task is to receive a health update from his colleagues on each panda cub. Then, he disinfects the nursery to maintain a clean, sterile environment before feeding the cubs and assisting with their bowel movements. He rarely has time to interact with us and all we see is a faint smile," she recalled.
The Adventures of the Panda features English voice-overs and is broadcast across multiple platforms, including Beijing TV, Sichuan TV, iQiyi, Youku, Tencent, and Douyin, with millions of views on international platforms. The series aims to serve as a cultural bridge to promote China's ecological achievements worldwide.
Professor Lu Shaoyang from Peking University's School of Journalism and Communication praised the documentary, calling it "a clear product of journalism, filled with newsworthy moments". He highlighted the transformation of giant pandas from "endangered" to "vulnerable", reflecting China's successful conservation efforts.
"Over time, these images will become increasingly precious, as there are few opportunities to capture such scenes. With the panda as a symbol, The Adventures of the Panda elevates nature documentaries to new heights, showcasing biodiversity conservation and ecological civilization," Lu said.
