Features: Jiji is a little black bear. He is mocked by his peers, but the only reporter from "Little Star Illustrated" who doesn't take his picture when he comes to the forest to shoot is the one who doesn't give him a chance. The ambitious Jiji runs to the town and sneaks into a paint shop late at night, painting himself as a panda. The zoo director treats him as a rare commodity and makes a fortune, but when he discovers the truth, he beats Jiji so badly that he nearly kills him. A young girl from the acrobatic troupe, Fang Fang, saves him. After recovering, Jiji insists on staying to learn from Fang Fang. After undergoing extremely tough training, Jiji finally becomes a true little star.
