From the eyes of a little Chinese girl, sparkling with surprise and joy, I first found the value of Blue Cat. I saw quickly how well-known Blue Cat is among the young children of China. At that moment, I decided to try to know as much as I could about Blue Cat and to try my best to help Blue Cat visit the U.S.A, where I believe Blue Cat would be warmly received by our American children.

Blue Cat has brought about a new style of culture -- "knowledge based animation entertainment. Making popular science the theme of animation and introducing cartoons into the realm of popular science has intensified the attraction of popular science and the educational function of cartoons. In the special background of Chinese society, parents are not willing to let their children watch too many cartoons, in fear that it will disturb their study. However, Blue Cat provides a different situation. It is welcomed by kids, parents and teachers for its combination of entertainment and knowledge.
