People could argue over the differences between Eastern and Western aesthetics, but when it came to pandas, there was no debate.
Almost everyone around the world thought pandas were the best-looking and cutest animals on Earth. Besides, pandas had survived on this planet for eight million years.
They were the ancestors of the animal kingdom, and whether in appearance or research value, they were extremely important.
Pandas were even fiercer in combat than brown bears, yet they were not aggressive toward humans and ate only vegetarian food. They could clearly make a living through strength, but insisted on relying on their looks.
The saying "The bear-men will never bow their heads, unless food and lodging are provided" fit pandas perfectly.
Pandas' popularity around the world could absolutely crush that of every other animal.
Back then, a zoo in Ireland lost one million pounds every year and had no visitors.
Later, they gritted their teeth and rented a panda. In less than a year, not only had they paid off all their debts, they had also made over three million pounds in profit.
South Korea had rented pandas too, but for Koreans to see them, they had to make an appointment and wait in line. They generally had to book nearly a month in advance because there were simply too many visitors.
To rent giant pandas, the Netherlands submitted sixteen rental applications to Huaxia before finally receiving approval.
For this reason, the Dutch government had even spent fifty million to build a palace for the giant pandas.
When the giant pandas arrived in the Netherlands, tens of thousands of Dutch people gathered in the streets to welcome them.
The scene was practically like they were welcoming God.
That was why Jiang Siming and Song Qian could not understand how they felt.
