The Zhalong Nature Reserve is the summer home of many red-crowned cranes. The cranes start their families there. In the Zhalong Nature Reserve, Xu Xiujuan's job was to help the workers of the reserve care for the cranes when they had babies. The reserve's workers wanted to increase the number of red- crowned cranes because these birds are very rare.
Xu Xiujuan enjoyed her work very much. In her diary she wrote,"I love cranes and I love nature.When I walk in the countryside, I forget the unhappiness in my life."
On 16th September 1987, two little cranes from the Yancheng Reserve flew into the wild and did not come back. It was evening. Xu Xiujuan was worried and went to look for them.
