Ma Lingdi, editor of the book, expresses her admiration for the reintroduction of the lynx to the wild, noting that the process was far more scientific than she had previously imagined.

After examining the lynx, veterinarians found it was suffering from malnutrition and an injury that had led to blindness in one eye. However, after treatment, it gradually regained its strength and employees at the wildlife park quickly formed a strong bond with it. It was also discovered that the cat still had its natural hunting instincts, so it was decided that it was a suitable candidate to be returned to its natural habitat.

With the decision made, the park began to prepare for its return. The lynx's keepers kept their distance, in an attempt to break its trust in people. They also tried to hone its hunting abilities to ensure it would survive in the wild.

After choosing a suitable place to release the lynx — a nature reserve in Datong county, Qinghai — an enclosure was built to which it could return if it failed to thrive. A tracking collar was also attached around its neck, so its movements could be monitored.
