Today (18th), the Sichuan Writers Association focused on supporting the work "Panda Boy's Fantasy Travels" and Jiang Lin's Panda Works Seminar was held. Xu Zechen, winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award and Lu Xun Literature Award, deputy editor-in-chief of "People's Literature", Yang Qing, editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Literary Circle", Xiong Yan, chairman of Chengdu Writers Association, Lu Yiping, deputy editor-in-chief of "Young Writers", writer Tan Kai, Wang Guoping, vice chairman of Chengdu Writers Association, Li Mintai, chairman of Dujiangyan Writers Association, Xue Yinsheng, president of Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House, Huang Lixin, president of Sichuan People's Publishing House, Lu Yabing, director of the academic branch of Sichuan Education Publishing House, and other guests attended the seminar.
Born in Sichuan in 1937, the giant panda "Ming" was like a warm sun in the dark, warming the hearts of the British people during the war. In 2020, the giant panda Huahua was also born in Sichuan, and in the book "Panda Huahua", Jiang Lin vividly expressed the elegance, optimism, calmness, tenacity, and positivity of "Huahua", bringing inspiration and strength to readers.
From the giant panda "Ming" to the giant panda "Huahua", Jiang Lin used 7 works to tell the development of the giant panda for more than 80 years from history, culture, ecological civilization and other aspects. In the latest publication of "The Panda Chaser", Jiang Lin also uses the Giant Panda National Park as the background, focusing on decades of scientific research and protection of giant pandas, and writing the story of three generations of rangers. Panda chasers originally referred to giant panda rangers, and in Jiang Lin's writing, this definition is infinitely expanded - "all those who love giant pandas are panda chasers".
At the seminar, Jiang Lin said: "Actually, I have always been interested in the theme of pandas, but the conditions for acquiring knowledge were limited before. In 2017, because of the launch of the magazine "Panda Watch", I had the opportunity to Xi learn from giant panda experts, keepers, rangers, etc., and had the opportunity to travel around the giant panda base for in-depth experience and knowledge through various paths. In 2018, when I saw and heard the story of the panda 'Ming', I knew that the best time to create panda works had come. ”
Xue Yinsheng analyzed, first, because the theme of the giant panda is deeply compatible with the theme of children's life; second, the work is written smoothly, the description is delicate, and the small incision is big feelings, "The book mentions dozens of rare wild animals and plants in the country, such as the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, musk deer, black-necked crane, dove tree, incense tree, etc., which not only broadens the horizons of young readers, enriches natural knowledge, but also allows young readers to feel the beauty of the diversity of all things in nature." ”
Sichuan People's Publishing House has published five of Jiang Lin's panda literary works, and as the person who has worked most closely with Jiang Lin, Huang Lixin has a deep understanding of the idea of his works. He said, "Jiang Lin's panda-themed novels tell us legendary and heartwarming stories of love, protection and hope. It is worth mentioning how this story itself reaches the depths of human nature, and finally brings light and hope to the anxious people at the moment. ”
"Panda Boy's Fantastic Travels is children's literature where reality and fantasy are intertwined. Like the vast majority of our children today, he has no worries about food and clothing, and has no material worries, so they are more eager to pursue spiritual abundance and spiritual abundance. Lu Yabing interpreted the connotation of "Panda Boy's Fantasy Travels" from an educational perspective, "If adults try to embed their children in what they think is the best development trajectory and urge children to chase the so-called 'success', it is likely that there will be unexpected uncontrollable." I guess Jiang Lin wants to express another meaning: humans and animals can communicate harmoniously, should children and parents understand and support each other to face an uncertain future together?"
Lu Yiping talked about the significance of Jiang Lin's panda works as children's literature: "Children's literature shoulders the obligation to spread beauty, responsibility and dreams to children. Lu Yiping said that the two books "The Journey of Panda Kangji" and "The Fantastic Travels of the Panda Boy" are dedicated to Jiang Lin's two daughters, respectively, "Jiang Lin's children's literature, first of all, is written for his daughter, which will establish a credibility that any father will be full of love in the stories he tells his children." ”

Xiong Yan mentioned, "In the past two years, natural ecology writing has received extensive attention in the literary world, but it is rare to find children's literature like Jiang Lin. He said that many of Jiang Lin's panda works express the praise of life. Tan Kai also said that it is very necessary to popularize panda-related knowledge to the public, and now pandas are still warmly sought after overseas, but at present, there is no domestic panda literature that can arouse enthusiastic attention overseas, "Panda Huahua and Panda Ming are very valuable themes, the interpretation is very good, and the attention is high, I hope Jiang Lin will be able to write a panda literature that is popular in the world in the future." ”
