[2025连云港期中]Fangbiandai is a lovely cat with magic, not the kind of magic described in fairy tales, but the power to heal(治愈) young hearts!
The Chinese name "Fangbiandai" means the "plastic bag", and there is a heartwarming story behind this name. This cat was once homeless. Luckily, he was saved by workers from an animal protection organization who put him in a plastic bag. So he got this name. Now, Fangbiandai is a star therapist at the Genshine Psychology Centre in Shandong Province.
Like other therapy animals, Fangbiandai is friendly and active. Although he used to be lonely and scared like most homeless cats, he is now kind and calm. As a therapy animal, Fangbiandai plays an important role in helping teenagers with mental(心理上的) issues. For new patients, Fangbiandai walks up to them, plays with them, or just sits beside them to
break the ice. "Children trust animals more. With Fangbiandai by their side, they feel less nervous and relax quickly," explained therapist Feng Jie. For regular patients, Feng is mainly in charge(负责), while Fangbiandai stays with them and offers support.
Since joining the centre, Fangbiandai has helped hundreds of young patients! "Animals don't ask any questions when they give love," Feng said. Some children start smiling as soon as they recognize Fangbiandai, which is a big step on their journey of healing.
At Genshine, Fangbiandai is a member of a growing team of therapy animals. The centre has also introduced fish and frogs to help the children. These animals have brought benefits to the lives of many young people, giving them hope and happiness.
