Its few animals were all old, sick, or injured, there was less than 3,000 yuan in the account, and he couldn’t even pay the staff. Everyone said he wouldn’t last three months. No one imagined that this forgotten corner of the city would one day become the world’s most famous wildlife sanctuary. It all began when an old lion reached through the rusty bars and gently rubbed its head against his hand.
