Zhao Ji Feng's choice of pandas as the subject matter, instead of lions and tigers that normally are considered the king of animals, are not that surprising. The Contemporary “king” of animal is in fact the official “national treasury” panda as a result of collective psychological alienation. Pandas are given or rented to great powers from a nation dependent on them as so called messengers of peace. As also being a loving and cute animal, pandas are most fit as the subject of portraits, from China's perspective.
