V. Answer the questions.
Eight years ago, 1-week-old Diandian was left behind. When people found her in the reeds (蘆葦) of a lake, she looked too weak to survive. Now she is the mother of three milu, thanks to the workers' attention and care at the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve.
Li is the president of a milu conservation association in Yueyang and head of a local milu and bird rescue center, where 11 deer, including Diandian, have their families. Li and his workmates need to work extra hours to take care of the animals from March until mid-May. He remembers March 18 this year. He fed Diandian some fresh shoots and leaves for breakfast as usual, and moments later when he returned, a newborn milu was right beside her. Since it is her third baby and it was born in the third month of the year, people named it Sansan, referring to "three-three". Li has developed a deep affection for milu and made up his mind to protect them. "As our country is paying more attention to environmental and wildlife protection, people are increasingly aware that milu are state-protected animals," Li said.
On May 27, a team of experts went to watch milu near Dongting Lake. Meeting milu needs time and luck, and it isn't easy work. The team leader Song saw a milu for the first time when he was studying for his doctorate in zoology early in 2009. Since then, he has helped protect the habitats at Dongting Lake.
As the environment improves in and around Dongting Lake, China's second-largest freshwater lake, the wetland has become cover once again for wildlife. "We will continue to protect these rare animals and their living environment," Song said.
