xiaozhan the animal whisperer
look at how he’s stroking dog’s forehead i’m positive they’re communicating
and the way he talks about his own cat, “from the moment you decide to raise a pet, you’re their entire world.”
When filming Jade Dynasty, the dog was scared of heights and Xiaozhan kept comforting him

he’s just taking a few quick pictures with the cat but he asks the owner for the cat’s name and calls her by her name. animals aren’t props!
he really loves and respects animals, and it shows in everything he does. when filming the untamed, he accidentally stepped on little apple the donkey’s foot, and he apologized, “i’m sorry that i stepped on you little apple, i’m sorry.”
before jianguo gets jealous, as she is xiaozhan’s daughter of course she’s special
xiaozhan and jianguo actual father and daughter
he give names to animals, he named this cat “white snow” because of its white fur, then he realized it was a boy
