Summary

Return to the Wolf Pack (Part Two) is the sequel to Li Weiyi's nonfiction work Return to the Wolf Pack, continuing the story of the wolf cub Green's release back into the grasslands from the first book. By early 2013, Green had been back with the wolf pack for two years when Li Weiyi, now living in the city, suddenly heard that Green had been captured on the grasslands. Frantic with worry, she and her friend Yifeng returned to the grasslands once more on the eve of the New Year to search for Green. The temporary hut they had built on the grasslands served as a kind of Noah's Ark, where they saved the lives of two wolf cubs and a family of swallows, and where they recorded the full course of the wolf pack's breeding trials, as well as the life-and-death dramas of animal families such as a fox family and a black-necked crane family. During this time they experienced several unprecedented disasters brought on by ecological degradation, and came face to face with poachers and wildlife traffickers who ignored the law and might even kill, narrowly escaping death several times; even the hut was destroyed. Two years on, Green's childhood playmate, the grassland stray dog Qiaomo, had found Li Weiyi, yet Green still had not appeared; comforted and supported again and again by the veteran wolf writer Jiang Rong, they persisted in their arduous search on the grasslands until the truth of the human-wolf story came to light. The book bears witness to the changes in the grassland ecology through the eyes of a firsthand witness, and stands as an ecological record of freedom, dignity, friendship, and guardianship.

Editor's review

如果说第一部写的是“如何把小狼送回荒野”，第二部追问的则是“送回荒野之后，它能否活下去”。李微漪在这本书里不再只是救助者，更像一个守在草原边缘的记录者：她用小屋做观察点，记下狼群繁衍、狐狸与黑颈鹤育雏的细碎日常，也记下口蹄疫、雪灾、盗猎这些把荒野一层层剥薄的力量。姜戎称她为“中国第一狼女”，并说这既是荣誉，也是她、中国生态环境、动物以及狼群的悲哀——这句话几乎点明了全书的底色。428千字的篇幅里，情感与观察并重，几处与盗猎者正面交锋的段落紧张得像冒险小说，却都发生在真实世界。它值得推荐的地方在于：既是一部能一口气读完的寻狼记，也是一份关于若尔盖草原生态退化的长篇证词。读者若关心野生动物保护、草场退化与人与自然的边界，这本书提供了罕见的、长期在场的现场感。

Who it's for

A good fit for

读过《重返狼群》第一部、想知道格林后续命运的读者
对野生动物保护与草原生态议题感兴趣的读者
喜欢真实纪实叙事、能接受紧张冲突场面的非虚构读者
关注人与自然关系、牧区生活与盗猎问题的人

Not a good fit for

期待纯虚构动物小说或轻松萌宠故事的读者
对动物受伤、死亡及盗猎描写较为敏感、难以承受的读者

Reading tips

建议先读第一部，了解格林如何被救助并放归，再读本书会更有情感线索。
阅读时可对照书中时间线留意2013年前后草原生态变化，把个体故事与生态议题分开体会。
遇到狐狸、黑颈鹤、火燕等动物家庭章节可放慢速度，这些观察是全书最扎实的部分。

FAQ

这本书和第一部《重返狼群》是什么关系？

本书是《重返狼群》的续篇，故事紧接第一部结尾：小狼格林被放归狼群两年后，作者听说格林在草原被抓，于是重返草原寻找，并记录下这一时期狼群与草原动物的生存状况。

这本书是小说还是真实记录？

是纪实文学。作者李微漪是野生动物画家，内容基于她在若尔盖草原救助狼崽格林、放归狼群以及后来重返草原寻找格林的亲身经历，书中人物与事件均为真实。

没有读过第一部能直接读这本吗？

可以读，但第一部的救助与放归过程是本书情感的前提，直接读第二部可能对人物关系和格林的来历感到隔膜，建议按顺序阅读体验更完整。

书里主要写了哪些动物？

除狼群与格林外，书中记录了作者在小屋附近观察到的狐狸一家、黑颈鹤一家、火燕一家等动物家庭的繁衍与生死，也写到牦牛、鹿、秃鹫等草原动物的生存境况。

这本书适合给孩子看吗？

书中涉及盗猎、动物死亡等沉重内容，低龄儿童可能不适；中学生以上、对动物保护有兴趣的读者更适合，家长可陪同讨论其中的生态与伦理问题。

About the author

李微漪 Author

Li Wei is a Chinese writer known to readers chiefly through her series Return to the Wolf Pack. Reliable public information about her personal background is limited, so the available details center on her works themselves. Three titles by her are included in the collection: the two-volume Return to the Wolf Pack together with separate volumes of its upper and lower parts, commonly categorized as social fiction. Judging from this series, her writing focuses on the relationship between people and wild animals and carries a strong documentary and narrative quality, using individual experience to explore themes of nature, ecology, and human nature. The works have drawn readers' attention to wildlife protection and to ways of living alongside nature, giving her a distinct thematic identity. As no reliable public sources confirm details such as education or profession, no speculation is offered here; this note simply outlines the direction and impact of her writing.
