D While CCTV’s educational TV show Animal World (《動物世界》 ) is well known, few big screen wildlife documentaries have been made by China’s film industry. But Born in China, which came out on Aug 12 in the mainland, may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into naturethemed films.

Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild – giant pandas, snow leopards (雪豹 ), golden monkeys, and Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊 ), for example – but also shows audiences Chinese traditional culture. The film mainly focuses on life and love within three animal families – giant pandas, golden monkeys and snow leopards. A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas of the world were based on. Yin shows darkness and yang shows brightness. The panda’s gentle nature also shows how yin and yang, when perfectly balanced, lead to peace and harmony. These can be seen in the documentary when a giant panda mother guides her growing baby to gradually look for independence and explore the world. Unlike the shy giant pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. In fact, perhaps China’s most colorful literary creation is a monkey: the Monkey King, from the epic (史詩般的 ) Ming Dynasty (13681644) novel Journey to the West (《西游記》 ) by author Wu Cheng’en. The monkey has many conflicting (相矛盾的 ) traits (特性 ). On one hand it stands for impatience, as in the Chinese phrase that translates as ―monkey anxious‖, but on the other hand, its use in Chinese points to cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2yearold golden monkey who feels like his life has been changed for the worse by his new baby sister, quickly joins up with a group of other freespirited monkeys, but finally returns to his family and understands the meaning of responsibility. While the golden monkey learns to protect his family, a mother snow leopard – an animal rarely caught on camera – also faces the very real drama of raising her two cubs (幼崽 ) in a harsh (嚴(yán)酷的 ) environment. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork (腳步 ), have inspired a form of pictographic boxing (象形拳 ) in Shaolin martial arts. ―Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,‖ director Lu told the Binhai Times newspaper. ―From fiveanimal exercises to pictographic boxing, Chinese people have learned from wild animals since ancient times.
