Did everyone eat the melons of a certain male star in the entertainment industry today, and Arthur, who was about to explode, did not become the top stream, but collapsed halfway through the business~ But today in addition to Arthur's collapse, another top stream also had an accident?
To say who is the top in the entertainment industry may be controversial, but to say that the pandas are the top Top, it is estimated that no one opposes.
It's just that not every top life can be stable, the entertainment industry may collapse, but the panda may lose his life, just at the beginning of this month, the male panda "Lele" living in Memphis Zoo died suddenly at the age of 25.
However, two months ago, foreign media were still widely reporting that Meng Yuan's Lele and Yaya were about to expire their contracts and were preparing to return to China.
Panda fans are full of joy looking forward to their return to their hometown in Sichuan, guarding their families to eat fresh bamboo, but suddenly get bad news~
As for the reason for Lele's death, the garden said that they did not know, but responded that Lele was 25 years old, and it is common for animals at this age to leave.
But panda fans are skeptical, firstly, because in general, the lifespan of captive giant pandas can reach more than 30 years old, and Lele is not old at 25 years old, such as Jiajia, the "longest-lived panda" (left below), who lives in Hong Kong, China, setting a record for the longest life of 38 years old.
Dandan (pictured right) in Kobe, Japan, is now 27 years old, and in their old age they are still white and fat, shiny and well-cared for.
On the contrary, Lele has dirty hair and a thin body, so netizens are indignant, feeling that if it is better cared for, it will not die at the age of 25.
The animal protection organization that pays attention to the panda ecology is even more directly torn: the zoo has been feeding them inferior bamboo for many years, restricting activities, and Lele died early because the park neglected care~
So the death of the panda seems to have another hidden secret?
From the star panda house to being ridiculed by the group
When Memphis Zoo introduced Lele and Yaya in 2003, the treatment they provided was actually quite good.
The Panda Pavilion is a purpose-built Chinese-style building, and in order to provide them with bamboo, land was deliberately opened up for planting.
It snows in the area, and in winter, the two small ones often let the wind blow and roll in the snow.
But there is still no way to stop a large number of local people from lining up to visit, and even crazy robbing various peripherals, Lele and Yaya once became the zoo's top cards.
Seeing that the two little ones lived deliciously, and they were loved by a large number of foreign friends, they were originally scheduled to return home in 2013, and their leases were renewed for another 10 years.
But two or three years ago, there were signs that the two giant pandas whose contracts were renewed were not doing well in the United States.
A large number of visitors reported that the two pandas were thin, yellow-haired, and even howled for help, suspecting that they had been abused.
Then animal protection organizations intervened and found that the panda were not in good condition.
Eating is not fresh bamboo, bamboo is yellow and dry, you must know that pandas need to eat fresh bamboo to absorb nutrients, so Lele once suffered from dental diseases.
The amount of bamboo is also not enough, one panda needs 17 acres of bamboo forest, but the garden only planted 10 acres for two pandas to eat.
For a few years, the zoo also sold bamboo to zoos in the UK, and Lele and Yaya had not enough to eat, and finally had to collect bamboo from the society.
There were also problems with the accommodation, with the two pandas kept in long-term cages and only released the wind one day a week.
They have been locked up for a long time, and stereotypical behaviors such as meaningless circles begin to appear.
In the face of various doubts, the garden explained that the two pandas are old and have always had skin diseases, which will look so bad.
In order to make the two pandas suffer less, the relevant organizations first applied to interview the zoo owner, but they all refused on the grounds that "there is no problem with the treatment of the pandas".
The extranet also launched an activity and received 8w signatures in support. The China Zoo Association also learned about the situation and put forward rectification suggestions for the Memphis Zoo.
But seeing the two pandas getting worse and worse day by day, he knew that Meng Yuan was out of his left ear near his right ear.
Over time, Meng Yuan became the target of ridicule, and every time another place was praised for taking good care of the panda, it would be taken out and trampled on.
Related activities have been continuing, and last year netizens sent nearly 100w protest emails, even singer Bi Li was showing support.
Everyone's efforts finally paid off, and the park announced that the contract expired in April 2023 and Lele Ya would be sent back to China.
Seeing that the road back to China was only a few steps away, Lele died suddenly, and netizens were greatly dissatisfied and pointed the finger at the zoo.
However, the park did not respond again, but the embassy said that it would send professionals to investigate the cause of Lele's death.
I hope that this time I can really find out the facts, explain the doubts of the audience, and let the panda fans around the world have an answer.
Then again, pandas are national treasures, there are not many of them, and their own families can't afford to raise them, so why let them "go abroad to work" and tour the world?
Wherever the panda goes, the charge is reasonable!
The panda has a recognized beauty outside, black and white cute appearance, so that it has always been the world's top in modern times.
The reason for the more sought-after is that the number of pandas is rare, only existing in the mainland Sichuan, Gansu endemic species, or once a year in heat, only 2~3 days of "frigidity", so the reproduction rate is low, the number has not been much.
Scarce is expensive, and a large number of countries have offered us to buy pandas.
After various considerations, the mainland began panda diplomacy in the 50s, sending pandas to some countries in the form of gifts.
In the 80s, seeing that the natural environment of giant pandas living in the wild became more and more harsh, the number of breeding plummeted, and the panda trading scandal broke out in the United States, the pandas lived in a long way, touring everywhere, causing serious stress.
The policy was changed to borrowing, and the panda was leased in a period of 10~15 years. At a certain time, the panda will be returned to China.
If during the rental period, the two pandas are in love and give birth to love crystals, and when the baby is 3~4 years old and can live independently, it will also be returned to China.
If you want to introduce baby pandas, you don't want to have them.
After applying, Mainland China will conduct a lengthy inspection, and after determining that the zoo can provide enough living space and food, it is willing to accept our supervision and guidance before it is possible to lend.
Therefore, zoos are also fancy throwing money in order to introduce baby pandas. Sometimes watching the working life of the pandas is like watching "The History of Global Heartthrob".
For example, the Panda Pavilion where "Four Seas" and "Jingjing" who moved to Qatar during last year's World Cup fully reflects how much the oil king is.
Built of 360 million yuan, covering an area of 11W square meters, built-in constant temperature hot spring pool, all-weather fresh air + constant temperature regulation, truly restore Sichuan's local climate change.
The climate is not suitable for growing bamboo, so Qatar airflies 800 kilograms of fresh bamboo from Sichuan every week.
The Arabian scenery that the national football team cannot enjoy is appreciated by the baby panda!
In order to borrow a pair of pandas, the Netherlands has gone through the efforts of three presidents and spent 15 years to successfully obtain Wu Wen and Xingya.
In order to welcome their arrival, the Netherlands threw 5000w yuan to build the "Emperor-level Panda Pavilion" Pandasia.
With a total area of more than 9,000 square meters, lined with trees, yellow tiles and red walls, if you didn't know in advance that this is a panda museum, you would have thought that you had strayed into the Forbidden City.
Panda: My brother didn't come to work, my brother came to ascend the throne.
When it comes to fanaticism, the British are not at all losing.
When Panda Sunshine and Tian Tian were sent to the UK in 2011, they were picked up by special plane and welcomed by the public.
Edinburgh Park, which originally had a debt of 12 million, saw a surge in the number of visitors and turned into a profit of 100 million.
The British, who was severely cured by the panda, also sent the female panda Tiantian to the BBC's annual women list.
This is a list of outstanding women, and in the same year were also shortlisted singer Adele and tennis player Li Na.
The baby panda even became a "British daji" for a while, affecting the situation.
Because the zoo where Sweet Sunshine lives is in Scotland, because when Scotland became independent in 2014, the outside world was worried about: Is Britain divided?
But the Scottish people are worried: the panda was given to the "British government" by China, once the family is separated, who will the babies belong to?
The final conclusion is: you can take away our freedom, not our panda!
Panda diplomacy has gone through from sending to lease, but no matter how the policy changes, what remains unchanged is that the baby panda will be popular wherever it goes, so it is reasonable to borrow money from national treasures! ! !
Global Selling Moe (x)
Cultural export (√)
Although the living environment of baby pandas is high-quality, they are not selling cute for survival, but do play the role of peace ambassadors and become a bridge for exchanges between China and foreign countries.
As early as the 70s, the mainland established diplomatic relations with Japan and the United States, and at that time, Panda, as a representative of the people, took the lead in breaking the ice.
In 1972, the mainland presented a pair of giant pandas to the United States and Japan, which had just established diplomatic relations, and the panda craze immediately started.
More than 8,000 people in the United States greeted the airport, and the number of visitors to Japan's Ueno Zoo surged to 900w+, all to see the legendary giant pandas.
In 1995, the Great Hanshin Earthquake in Kobe, Japan, killed more than 6,000 people, injured 4.3w people, overturned bridges, collapsed buildings, and the entire city was in ruins.
Five years after the disaster, we sent giant pandas to bring comfort and encouragement to the citizens in the disaster-stricken areas.
The two pandas are also loved by the local people, and the crowd is endless, and there are still people who remember it, saying that when they saw the giant panda at that time, they instantly had the courage to rebuild their lives.
In 2020, when Dandan was preparing to retire and return to Japan, Kobe Post also issued a set of commemorative stamps "Thank you Dandan" to thank it for its contribution to China-Japan friendship.
Not only does the panda itself promote world friendship, but the panda house where it lives has also become another Chinatown-like existence, transmitting Chinese culture to the world.
For example, the Panda Forbidden City mentioned just now not only attracts a large number of tourists to see the baby panda, but also becomes the venue for many Chinese cultural activities.
For example, the Chinese Lantern Festival was held in the zoo, displaying more than 30 sets of lanterns containing nature and Sino-Dutch culture, which became a local topic.
Every time you see the panda fanaticism of people around the world, you will find that they are worthy of the reputation of national treasures.
It is precisely because of this that I hope to find out the reason for Lele's death, comfort the dead, and hope that another panda Yaya can return to China as soon as possible and eat the most authentic bamboo.
Although some people still take the abacus to calculate how much economic and cultural benefits Panda diplomacy will bring.
In fact, nowadays, the baby panda goes abroad, more often goes out to act as messengers to spread culture, and returns to return to China.
But the baby pandas in the past really shouldered a lot of responsibilities, and as China has more and more ways to export and exchange culture abroad, I hope that the pandas can gradually unload their burdens, stay between the growing mountains and snow, and eat bamboo without worry~
