The camera lingers on the evening scene at Wanling Zoo, where the sunset paints the sky and sea in a breathtaking panorama, birds take flight, and visitors disperse. In the distance, the ocean shimmers like dancing gold, a serene and beautiful scene that prompts many viewers to exclaim that they want to visit the zoo themselves.
The first person to discover that the zoo had been featured in a praise interview on "Beijing Time" was a long-time visitor. He said that Wanling Zoo has many repeat visitors, not only because the zoo is very clean, but also because the environment is very comfortable and relaxing.
Busy in the city, my brain is almost worn out. I can only fall asleep with my phone for an hour or two before bed. My sluggish brain and muddled body can recover in the beautiful environment of the zoo. Whether I choose to spend 30 yuan to buy a ticket and sit in a cafe all day with a cup of coffee, or confide my recent troubles to the animals in the zoo, they are all excellent ways to relieve my worries.
In the information age, anything posted online may leave a trace, but sharing your thoughts with animals is a great option.
Visitors from all over the world shed all their anger and stress at the zoo, treating strangers like friends.
Many visitors made friends from other places at the zoo, spontaneously created a zoo fan group, and even invited Su Zhou to join and assigned her a manager position.
The format for group nicknames is still: xx province xx city xxx, and it is not required to specify the address down to the neighborhood.
Sure enough, the admin of a zoo fan group directly forwarded the news from "Beijing Time" to the group and sent several shocked emojis to express his shock at that moment.
[Wang Chang'an from Luoyang, Henan Province: Our Wanling is truly remarkable; they've been officially praised. Not everyone has this kind of good fortune. (Link)]
[Group member 1: I second that. I'm a native of Beijing, and I've been watching this program for over ten years. Even the famous zoos in Beijing haven't been featured in a special report. It's just that our Wanling Zoo is so well-organized.]
[Group member 2: Holy crap, they're on TV! I'm turning on the TV to watch it now, otherwise I won't be able to see it later. It's not about anything else, it's just about giving my black friend some respect.]
The production team at Beijing TV suddenly received a major piece of news.
For some unknown reason, the viewership of "Beijing Time" has reached an astonishing 1%.
What does this 1% mean?
This means that in an era where television sets are gradually becoming mere background props, and people have more ways to distract themselves and more channels and sources of information, a staggering 1% of the nation still chooses to watch television.
Although "Beijing Time" is a 7 PM program on Beijing TV, it is still just a local TV program, not a hit drama or a famous variety show. This data is already quite alarming.
After the program ended, host Jiang Huan received praise from his superiors.
Jiang Huan was also puzzled by the praise he received without even realizing it.
She was proud to learn that the show's viewership had surpassed 1%, but... she hadn't expected that an interview with a small zoo would attract so many viewers.
This popularity is incredible.

Su Zhou naturally saw the link forwarded to the group, but she had never liked watching such serious programs since she was a child. Even though she knew that the zoo had been interviewed by the media, she didn't bother to watch it again. The content and the interview were very similar, so there was no need to watch it again. Su Zhou blinked. In any case, being interviewed by official media was still something to be proud of.
Once she had saved enough money, Su Zhou immediately exchanged it for a place for the parrots to live.
Actually, it's not just for parrots; the official name on the store page is "Bird Garden," but Su Zhou only brought back parrots from her trip. The parrots are of all kinds, with vibrant colors, and the way they gather together and chatter is just like a group of elementary school students on a spring outing—it's incredibly cute.
Some of Su Zhou's friends keep parrots and occasionally send her cute clips of the birds. These birds are only slightly less cute than cats and dogs, just a tiny bit. Su Zhou still really likes parrots.
Because of opening the zoo, Su Zhou was able to finally raise all the animals she had wanted to keep but hadn't yet.
If you were to ask her what it's like to be the zoo director, Su Zhou's feeling would be... like the head of a large family.
Su Zhou pulled on the cage door with her slender fingers, and the little birds in the iron cage flew out with a rustling sound.
She looked around and thought that, as expected of the system's aesthetic sense, the bird park was more like a fairy tale than a bird park. The ground was covered with wildflowers and grasses, and a faint fragrance of grass and trees wafted from it. The space was large, and the humidity and temperature were just right for the parrots to grow.
These parrots, accustomed to the chaotic environment of the flower and bird market, found this specially designed environment to be their paradise.
Not only the parrots, but even Su Zhou herself felt an indescribable comfort in the midst of it all. It felt like a large garden, and Su Zhou saw adorable little swings on the branches and leaves of the plants, swings that the birds could swing on.
It provides natural trails where visitors can find shelter.
Sure enough, the little parrots were very happy with this area that belonged only to them.
"Come here." Su Zhou noticed a particularly beautiful little parrot among these parrots. Its color was pearly purple, a rather light pearly purple, and it even had a gradient. Its beady eyes stared at Su Zhou. Su Zhou beckoned with her finger. She originally just wanted to test whether attribute points would have any effect on the parrot. Unexpectedly, when Su Zhou beckoned with her finger, the parrot actually flapped its wings and flew over.
It seems that attribute values are still useful; they can understand human speech.
Some species of parrots can mimic human speech, hence the term "parrot mimicry."
In the villa area near my home, you can often see those retired bigwigs playing with birds, and parrots are one of their favorites. Sometimes when Su Zhou comes home from school, she can hear those old men talking and playing with the birds.
Parrots, well, their voices are different from humans.
Parrots can mimic human speech, and can learn it to a high degree. Parrots that talk a lot are still quite valuable. Su Zhou didn't understand this kind of fun before, but now she is personally experiencing it.
Su Zhou cleared her throat and looked at the birds. "Let me see if you're the smartest birds in the world. You can just follow along with whatever I say, okay?"
