The "short-nosed family" tour group rushed out of the country this year and became the "new favorite" of the global public opinion field, along the way they entered the city and village, ate and drank, and could not stop them from moving forward.

At the end of May, 15 Asian elephants entered the territory of the Hongta District, because the weather was too hot and the vegetation was dense, and the drone could not track the elephant herd, and the anxiety and worry were like a fog all afternoon. At about 6 p.m., on the monitor of the drone, a herd of elephants suddenly appeared, and the elephants in line used their long noses to freely sprinkle sand on their bodies and rush forward like chariots. At this time, the loudspeaker in the village sounded, and the village chief shouted in the local dialect not to disturb the elephant herd and protect himself and his family, but the sensitivity of his profession prompted Liu Xinyi to rush forward with his mobile phone.

She used her mobile phone to take a video of more than a minute, and after simple editing, she released the picture of the elephants entering the Red Tower District for the first time through new media, which also became a precious material used by many media in the later stage.

Do you think elephants have the IQ of a five- or six-year-old? Chen Mingyong, a professor at Yunnan University at the scene, said that I couldn't play them anyway. In order to avoid the elephants entering the Red Tower area from an unknown route, Professor Chen's team began to control the electronic fence, but what everyone did not know was that experienced elephants would cleverly use their noses to hook branches and throw them forward, destroying the electronic fence when they did not hurt themselves.

Over time, they found that the elephants were not only very intelligent, but also somewhat cute. The monitoring team secretly photographed the elephant group sleeping, and the baby elephant was surrounded by elephants in the middle, as if dreaming sweetly in the arms of their mothers.

In fact, Asian elephants are too big, and they must be vigilant to survive in the wild, and they dare not sit down to sleep, let alone lie down. But on this journey, the elephants not only often slept collectively, but even reached a state of deep sleep, and in countless games with humans, they also knew that this place was very safe at this moment, because there were 24-hour watch drones in the sky, carefully prepared fruits, salt and corn on the ground, and people were silently guarding these lovely forests like their own children.

Liu Xinyi responded to the netizens who cared about where the elephants were every day through short videos, and timely and accurately informed everyone that the elephants were safe. Objective and true narrative techniques, successfully breaking through the barriers of political and cultural regions, widely disseminated in the world, the entire public opinion field presented a quiet and peaceful beautiful atmosphere, becoming the best business card to build China's image. As a grassroots all-media reporter, Liu Xinyi said that she is glad to be able to witness countless such warm moments and make efforts to protect wild elephants in the way of media people.

At 8:08 p.m. on August 8, the migration lasted for more than 110 days, traveling more than 1,300 kilometers in a roundabout way, passing through yuxi, Honghe and Kunming, and the elephant herds in 8 counties and urban areas finally calmly stepped on the Yuanjiang Bridge and returned to the south bank from the north bank of the Yuanjiang River. Looking at the backs of the elephants drifting away, they are reluctant and hope to meet them next time in the subtropical jungle of Xishuangbanna.
