Features: Have you heard of any animal that is considered a symbol of imperial power, with rival factions vying for it, seen as an auspicious omen and the mount of immortals, once extinct in its homeland, then wandering as an overseas expatriate, and finally returning to its homeland a century later as a "returning overseas Chinese" or "overseas returnee"? This animal's scientific discovery, its period of extinction, and its successful return are all closely linked to one city—Beijing. As a typical representative of Beijing's wildlife, it has frequently emerged in the campaign to recommend the Olympic mascot. This animal, known as the "Four Not Like" deer, is the Eld's deer. Among the world's 5,000 species of wild animals, it is rare to find one with such a bizarre history and turbulent fate as the Eld's deer. This book will narrate everything in detail.
