At 17:15 on February 21, the giant panda "Xiangxiang" who returned home from Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, Japan, arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.
Next, Xiangxiang will be sent to the Ya'an base of the Panda Center to stay in the quarantine area for one month.
According to the Panda Center, it is expected that the giant panda "Xiangxiang" will meet the audience after the quarantine.
Xiangxiang was born in June 2017 in Tokyo, Japan, to parents "Bili" and "Fairy", the Chinese giant pandas in Japan.
That is, she is a giant panda born in Japan.
A new worry was born, Kaka grew up in Japan, can she really understand Chinese???
In fact, for more than half a month before this, we can often see various information about Xiangxiang on the Internet.
Most of them are.... The picture of how reluctant the Japanese people are to Xiangxiang.
Kaka, the popular king of Ueno Zoo.
Because she knew early on that Xiangxiang was going back to China, since January 21, Xiangxiang's home in Japan, "Ueno Zoo", has adopted a pre-draw system.
After January 6, visitors can submit lottery applications through the website, and up to 2,600 people will be selected each day, and the visit will be completed until February 19, 2023.
If you want to see Xiangxiang, it depends on your luck.
A total of 60,000 people are said to have come to the lottery.
The probability of winning the draw is only 1/24, and if you want to draw the final field, the probability is only 1/70.
In order to see Xiangxiang for the last time, a large number of Japanese people lined up for hours to say goodbye to her.
The weather in January, queued for a few hours, was too powerful.
I have thought that if a creature as cute as a giant panda wants to leave, someone will definitely be reluctant.
But I really didn't expect the scene to be so exaggerated.
This face, if you are not in the know, you may think that which big star passed by here, and the fans came to pick it up.....
How deep is the Japanese people's love for Kaka?
In front of the zoo, you can see people everywhere with fragrant fragrance.
They are like visiting comic conventions, carrying all kinds of -
plush.....
Clothes.....
Stud earrings.....
Most of these surrounding areas are specially made by the zoo for incense.
Someone once went to Ueno Zoo and said that the fragrant area made there is really not to say.
It can be seen that they really treat Xiangxiang too carefully.
Because it is a lottery system, some people draw the opportunity to say goodbye to Xiangxiang, and some people have black faces and do not draw them.
The reporter interviewed a person who did not win, although she was not selected, she still came to the scene, bringing a large amount of fragrant fragrance.
Because she didn't win the lot, she couldn't see Xiangxiang, she didn't say two words, just .... Just cry .....
She cried uncontrollably in front of the camera, which also made many Chinese netizens sympathetic.
In the end, she said they would meet again.
Do you think that if the lot is not drawn, these Japanese citizens will stop there? Inexistent.
Around Ueno Zoo, there were a large number of people who did not win the lottery, and they all sat together just to get closer to Kaka.
In the park, separated by a glass, Xiangxiang did not know that she was about to leave the place where she grew up, and she was still eating bamboo in the park.
Japanese citizens surrounded her and kept filming images of her before she left as a memorial.
Unfortunately, according to the park regulations, each person can only visit for one minute.
The people in front had not seen enough, so they had to leave.
Everyone who leaves, waving goodbye before leaving.
Even after seeing Xiangxiang for the last time, the citizens who came out were still very sad.
"Xiangxiang is really cute."
"There must be many people who want to see her."
Then while talking, the citizens who saw Xiangxiang also cried.....
"If only anyone who wanted to see it could see it."
An 80-year-old grandmother also came to say goodbye to Xiangxiang.
She said and shed tears.
"I can't see the fragrance anymore, it's really lonely."
Knowing that the Japanese love pandas, but it's really a bit of an exaggeration...
Outside the zoo, countless people cried because they saw Xiangxiang or did not see Xiangxiang.
The Japanese really do a lot in the matter of "love the fragrance".
Someone painted a secondary painting to commemorate Xiangxiang's departure.
On the streets of Ueno, posters with incense are put up.
(The Japanese meaning of the background is "super like")
Ueno Zoo held a sketch exhibition for Kaka.
Hundreds, thousands of photos for citizens to recall.
Later, I was shocked to learn that the sketch exhibition was also selected for the exhibition.
Matsusakaya's Ueno store, from the day it was known that Kaka was going back, the entire store became a "Kaka Limited Store".
They made a variety of fragrant shapes of food and sold them until the 21st Xiangxiang left.
Japan's largest publishing house specializing in giant panda magazines sells special incense on the 21st.
The special feature contains 8,000 photos of fragrant fragrance.
On the 21st, Xiangxiang set off to return to China, and a large number of citizens rushed to see him off.
Many people did not see Xiangxiang during the selection, so they had to come and see her off when she left.
It is not difficult to understand why Japanese citizens love Xiangxiang so much, they watch Xiangxiang be born, grow up, and for them, Xiangxiang is like their own child.
Now that the children are leaving, how can they not be sad?
In fact, Xiangxiang was originally going back to China when she was two years old.
Because of the epidemic, there were a total of five delays.
Although Xiangxiang did not grow on the mainland, it is still loved in foreign countries.
At the same time, we also heard about two other giant pandas.
Lele, a giant panda in the United States, has left us forever due to illness.
Another giant panda in the United States, Yaya, has long been scrawny because of the poor care of Memphis Zoo.
Some people say that the reason why Ueno Zoo is so attentive to Xiangxiang is because Xiangxiang can bring better benefits to the zoo.
That's true.
But without the support and love of the Japanese people, where will the so-called "better gains" come from?
Love or not love, with and without intention, can really be seen.
I hope Yaya can be picked up as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible, after all, every giant panda sent out for friendly communication is our treasure!
