Due to natural selection, many ancient animals have gone instinct. The giant panda, known as a "living fossil", is one of the few species that has managed to survive for millions of years.

The giant panda has existed on Earth long before humans and embodies a rich, storied history. How has this black-and-white, round-faced, and playful panda managed to survive through the ages?

Writer Zhao Liangye has been tracing the footsteps of the giant panda for over 30 years, visiting over a hundred people in his journey to tell the story of the panda's discovery as well as China's arduous efforts to conserve, research, breed, and reintroduce the species. Large amounts of first-hand data and photographs were gathered for the book.
