Features: "My Wild Friends" went on sale in mid-to-late May 2002 and had nearly 200,000 copies printed by the end of the year, with the Taiwan traditional Chinese edition also distributing over 80,000 copies. Meanwhile, Tipi is still gaining momentum, and the number of Tipi fans is steadily increasing. Why does a book about a French girl in Africa possess such extraordinary charm and influence that it attracts people of all ages and regions? What kind of child is Tipi, and what magical abilities and unique charisma does she possess? This book collects the complete journey of young Tipi and her mother Sylvie from August 22 to September 3, 2002, during which they visited seven places—Beijing, Chengdu, Kunming, Shangri-La, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Shanghai—to give interviews, meet readers, sign books, answer questions, visit Chinese sages, and explore famous historical sites. Especially included with the book is a nearly one-hour VCD, featuring clips of Tipi's life in Africa, as well as special programs from China Central Television's "Reading Time" and "Half the Sky" interviewing Tipi and her mother, as well as the book's publishers. The clips of Tipi's life in Africa are making their debut in China, making them extremely valuable and vivid. Readers can hear her voice, see her, listen to her songs, and get a vivid image of Tipi as if she were right before them. The book also includes self-narratives, interviews, and representative expert reviews and reader testimonials from Tipi's parents, helping readers gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Tipi, the Tipi phenomenon, and Tipi's career. The chronicle of major events reflecting Tipi's popularity in China for years is a detailed and valuable reference.
