Giant panda A Chinese symbol for peace

“I’m a panda, xiong mao, the national treasure of China.”“I like to be alone just like a drifter.”“Mmmm, bamboo is my favorite food!”“Our family has lived on the earth for more than a million years.”

At first, we lived on wheat. Later, we ran out of food with a tremendous change of the temperature on earth. We survived on bamboo.Now xiong mao are one of the most endangered species.We are regarded as beasts for peace because we feed on bamboo instead of other animals.

“A truce was agreed whenever the flags printed with images of xiong mao were raised 1,700 years age.”“These flags represent peace and friendship and both side of the war would stop fighting.”“Now we’re know far and wide, and we’re often sent abroad as gifts”

“There are only around 1,000 xiong mao remaining in our family all over the world.”“We hope that people will offer more protection for animals.”
