Think Focusing on culture People have done a lot to save animals in danger. Let's look at an example of such a person in China. 1 Read the story of Xu Xiujuan and the red-crowned crane. The story of the red-crowned crane Have you ever heard the song "The Story of the Red-Crowned Crane"? You may think it is about a rare bird. In fact, it is about a girl called Xu Xiujuan. Xiujuan was born in Zhalong, Heilongjiang Province, in 1964. Her father looked after red-crowned cranes at the local nature reserve. These tall, slim-necked birds are a symbol of luck, long life and loyalty, but they are now among the rarest crane species in the world. Xiujuan loved birds and started helping her father with his work at 17. At first, it was hard, but later she became very good at taking care of them. When she hatched her first cranes, she was only a teenager. When she was 21, Xiujuan was offered a job at a nature reserve in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. She carefully packed three red-crowned crane eggs and took them with her to Yancheng. The trip was long but Xiujuan made sure the eggs were warm and safe. Xiujuan worked hard at the nature reserve. She not only cared for cranes, but also looked after swans and other bird species. Whenever a bird became sick, she would stay with it day and night until it was strong enough to fly again. One day in 1987, two swans went missing. The workers in the nature reserve looked everywhere for them. Xiujuan was alarmed, and searched for them for two days and nights. Since it is typical of swans to feed in the wetlands, she decided to look for the birds there. She was hungry and thirsty, and her body was sore from swimming, but she continued searching in the water for many hours. Finally, she was too tired to return to the shore. Xiujuan lost her life. She was only 23. Later, a song called "The Story of the Red-Crowned Crane“ was written in memory of Xiujuan and her courage and dedication. Notes The red-crowned crane is one of the rarest crane species in the world. The species is under threat, and the biggest threat to the red-crowned crane is loss of habitat.
