Animation with the essential elements of images, stories, interesting and ictitious is very important popular art over past centuries. It was rapidly developed and popularized in the occident in the irst half of the 20th century, and was signiicantly carried forward in Japan in the second half of the 20th century. It has become the trend and gradually formed modern living aesthetic that affects the life of people. But for generation of Chinese artists who are deeply impacted, their performance is not quite the same in strength. In Gao Yu's masterpieces, a variety of giant panda images were painted by the artist to express the emotion of heart beats. Compared with post 70s, Gao Yu was born in 1980s, a much easier and free ages. "I only used the cartoon form, in fact my way of thinking is different from other people. Many people are interested in a happy style of cartoon, and I just use cartoon as a tool to express my feelings of interests at each stage."

Taking giant panda as the theme was created at the university when he was doing the homework. Originally, Gao Yu intended to shot a video and he bought a luff panda from a toy store as a creative blueprint. One day two years later, when he casually painted the panda on paper, he found it easy and comfortable. Gao Yu has designed a growing process for his panda, from the fertilized egg, embryo to grow up. "Little panda is only an actor and I am a director. Just like director, Wong Kar-wai, is fond of the actor, Tony Leung. But, when will he like to use other actors, who knows?"
