Giant panda Fan Xing is now 2.5 years old. The cameras of 'Real Life at the Zoo' have captured every important step in his life. Viewers saw him grow from a helpless ball into a playful, mischievous and sometimes a bit clumsy panda adolescent. In the panda world, 2.5 years means it's high time to stand on his own two feet and that's why Fan Xing is going to China. He has a mission there: he has to care for offspring and thus contribute to the preservation of his species! In this special, we look back at the moments leading up to Fan Xing's birth and look at the most touching moments of the past 2.5 years. And of course, we follow Fan Xing's last weeks with his mother Wu Wen in the Netherlands. In preparation for his departure to China, he learns to deal with all kinds of new impressions and receives training to slowly detach from his mother. And that's not easy for such a small giant panda!
