Ever imagined getting so close that you can feel a beluga's breath on your skin? Zang Mingyue, a former tourist guide, chose to devote herself to her beluga friend.
BEIJING, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Zang Mingyue decided to become a trainer of beluga whale after she was touched by a performance of the marine mammal when she was guiding a tourist group.
Zang resigned in 2012 when she was 23 years old, and turned to work at the Harbin Polarland as a trainer.
She overcame a series of difficulties and strives to be the best at her work. She feels that she loves beluga whale more deeply as she knows more about it.
