The Asian Century: A Lifelong Bond with Gibbons

BEIJING, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In the karst forests along the border between Guangxi, China, and Vietnam, a cross-border guardianship of life is unfolding—home to the Eastern Black-Crested Gibbon, a species once declared  extinct and later rediscovered. Their survival connects the hearts of protectors from both China and Vietnam. Each month, conservationists meet at the border marker for a down-to-earth meeting, filled with warmth, where there are no barriers of nationality, only a bond akin to brotherhood.

This documentary uses the Eastern Black-Crested Gibbon as a link to record the heartfelt details of Sino-Vietnamese cooperation in safeguarding this critically endangered species. It tells a story of fragility, protection, and rebirth; a true reflection of the idea that "national borders exist, but love knows no boundaries," and serves as a touching microcosm of building a community with a shared future for humanity. Let us step into this dense forest together and listen to the resilient echoes of life. Please watch the sixth episode of the micro-documentary series The Asian Century, titled A Lifelong Bond with Gibbons.
