    这次和出版社的合作也是一个愉快的过程。

    I remember last winter, a woman named Zhang Yi Cong editing the blog give me a shout, asked me to write this book. Web links, reliable? I hesitated. However, in order for to tell the story of giant panda for Americans, I decided to try.

    记得是去年冬天，一位名叫张怡琮的编辑在博客上给我留言，要我写这本书。网上的联系，可靠吗？我犹豫过。但是，为了让大熊猫的故事走进美国人的读书生活，我决定试试。

     Zhang is very able, in strict accordance with published rules , I left a good impression. Soon, the end of January 2010, we signed the contract. Next, discuss the book, I found she has very carefully read my "Panda epic," the editorial efforts like this, I should trust.

    张编辑非常干练，严格按照出版规则走，给我留下了好印象。很快，2010年1月底，我们就签了合同。接下来，商量书的内容，我又发现对方非常仔细地看了我的《熊猫史诗》，像这样下功夫的编辑，我应该信得过。

    I started writing, we begin to book frequent communication content and form, is entirely a pleasant and efficient process. I have been Created and published more than a dozen books ,Understanding a lot of responsibility for editing, like seriously capable, but also rare. Important is our common purpose is  publish a good book, in this context, even if the remuneration is limited, I do not care.

    我开始写作，我们开始就书的内容形式频繁交流沟通，完全是一个高效率的愉快过程。我出过十几本书，打过交道的责任编辑很多，像这样认真干练的，还不多见。重要的是我们共同的目的是出一本好书，在这个前提下，即使稿酬有限，我也不在乎。

    I write in Chinese, she take to find someone to translate, and take it to the Frankfurt International Book Fair, which is a cumbersome process, but the book has published so quickly, but also so beautiful.

    我写的是中文，她要拿去找人翻译，随后又做了样书去法兰克福国际书展征订，这是一个麻烦的过程，但是，书还是在我预计的时间之前出来了，还这样精美。

    Today is Thanksgiving, I want to thank the heavens and the earth, give me life, give me happy, so I can do whatever I want! At the same time, I want to thank the responsibility of editing this book, so I can telling the story about the giant panda to more readers!
