On July 26, the Jiefang Street community in Wanshan District, Tongren City, was lined with trees and birds and cicadas were chirping. Nearby tourists come to the pond of He Wencheng's family to admire the peach blossom jellyfish with the reputation of "giant panda in the water".

Looking at the peach blossom jellyfish that loomed in the pond from time to time, He Wencheng said: "This transparent umbrella-shaped plankton is the peach blossom jellyfish, which has appeared in our family for 20 years. Because they are endangered species, my family never dared to throw anything into the pool. ”
Peach blossom jellyfish, also known as peach blossom fish, parachute fish, is a national first-class protected animal and is an endangered animal. It grows in temperate freshwater, its shape is like a peach blossom, and it mostly appears in the peach blossom season, hence the name. Their whole body is transparent, like a transparent umbrella floating leisurely in the water, they are headless and tailless round, crystal clear, soft as silk, the body is surrounded by tentacles, and in the middle grow five tentacle-like objects in the shape of peach blossoms.

For the emergence of peach blossom jellyfish, the author interviewed He Bing, director of the Fishery Technology Extension Station of the Tongren Agriculture and Rural Bureau. He explained: "Jellyfish breeding characteristics are relatively special, asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction is constantly switching, asexual reproduction to form a hydra body when the water quality requirements are extremely low, but the water quality requirements for the sexual reproduction of the hydra body to the jellyfish larvae are extremely high, must be non-toxic and non-dangerous water body, PH value of about 6.8." The emergence of jellyfish reflects that the waters in which they are located are clean and pollution-free. ”
Since the peach blossom jellyfish has such high requirements for water quality, and the country has occasionally found it, why can it live here for more than twenty years? In this regard, the author has contacted the relevant experts of the Tongren Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau. Experts will investigate and analyze the water quality on the site, and the follow-up results are still being followed up in interviews...
