A wave of "panda luck" in the new year
According to the Ueno Zoo in Japan, the two twin giant pandas "Xiaoxiao" and "Leilee" born to the giant panda "Zhenzhen" in June last year will meet with the public starting from the 12th of this month. The "lucky guys" who were qualified for visiting through lottery came from all over Japan and witnessed the first public appearance of "Xiaoxiao" and "Leilei". This is also the second time that Ueno Zoo has exhibited giant panda cubs in four years after "Xiangxiang".
was affected by the epidemic. The three-day tour day was drawn by lottery. Only 1,080 tourists could enter the park every day, and the winning rate was only 1/348. After competing for luck, each tourist can only visit for about one minute. Despite this, the visit was still very popular. On the 12th, some Japanese people started queuing from 5 a.m. to wait to enter the park to meet the giant pandas.
On June 23 last year, the Chinese female giant panda "fairy" gave birth to a pair of twin cubs, and was later confirmed to be one male and one female. More than three months later, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike announced that the twin giant panda cubs were named "Xiaoxiao" and "Leilee", which meant that "dawn is coming, welcoming a bright future." In a blink of an eye, the twin cubs are already half a year old and usher in the first "sing out" day.
After half a year, the pair of panda cubs, who were only more than 120 grams at birth, now weigh more than 14 kilograms. According to the staff of Ueno Zoo, in order to adapt the twins to the outside exhibition, the park started various preparations one month in advance. In addition to letting them become familiar with the exhibition room environment in advance, the staff also asked the staff to pretend to be tourists and walk in the aisle and wave to help the little guys adapt to people's attention as soon as possible.

As the lucky one of 1/348, Taeko Arai from Yokohama said that when she visited, "Leilei" was eating, while "Xiaoxiao" was napping with her back to the audience. Although it was a bit regretful that she didn't see the twins playing with each other, she said she was very lucky to be able to win the election and see the giant panda twin cubs with her own eyes, and she felt that something would happen this year. Arai looks forward to visiting Ueno Zoo again after the epidemic is over.
A 58-year-old female tourist said excitedly in an interview: "They are so cute! This minute is so worth it! I hope more pandas will be born here in the future."

At present, there are 5 giant pandas in Ueno Zoo, namely the female giant panda "fairy", the male giant panda "Bili", and their children "Xiangxiang", "Xiaoxiao" and "Leile". According to the agreement signed by China and Tokyo, "Xiangxiang" should have returned to China when it is two years old, but it was postponed due to the epidemic. The latest agreement shows that the return time of "Xiangxiang" has been postponed to June 30 this year.
How much do foreigners who are dominated by giant pandas like pandas?
People all over the world love giant pandas, this is not empty talk. As the top idol industry, giant pandas are highly sought after superstars in various countries, and they are all men, women, young and old, from 9 months to 90 years old. As the most special “diplomat”, the cute giant panda “goes abroad to work” with a mission. Let us praise these top idols for their cute love and cute jobs!
Since it is a "superstar", its treatment is also top-notch. In Germany, fans are afraid that pandas will miss home, so they specially built Chinese-style buildings for panda babies:
Berlin Zoo director Andreas Knieriem was directly named Berlin Person of the Year because of his contribution to settling up giant pandas.
The Netherlands also cared for pandas and spent a huge amount of 10 million euros to build the Panda Palace.In order to maintain the authentic Chinese style, construction workers sent them from China after selection:
Belgium's Paradise Zoo has also opened up a panda territory of 5,300 square meters. In addition to the separate bedroom, there are also special medical rooms, nursery rooms, dispatch rooms, food storage rooms and other essential supporting facilities:
In 2019, in order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival for the pandas, the Finnish Zoo invited a professional choir to prepare a performance with Chinese characteristics for the giant pandas in the park to relieve their homesickness. A song "I hope I will live forever" with a not-so-pure Chinese pronunciation made the giant panda feel in a good mood and ate a few more bamboos on the spot to encourage it.
In Canada, the "National Panda Day - National Panda Day" was even set up for the Ganggu. On March 16th every year, children across the country celebrate the Ganggu Festival, which is more lively than celebrating Children's Day:
Of course, whether Panggu is favored by Panggu is, it still depends on Japan.
As early as 1972, Ueno Zoo welcomed the first batch of giant pandas "Kangkang" and "Lanlan" in Japan. At that time, from the airport to the zoo, not only were there police cars leading the way, but more than a hundred guards were escorted. The following year, Ueno Zoo’s admissions hit a record high of 9.2 million. The anime "Cherry Maruko" once reappeared in the scene of Japanese people roaming long queues to see the true face of giant pandas.
50 years, the Japanese people's love for giant pandas has not diminished at all. In 2017, the birth of the giant panda "Xiangxiang" caused a sensation. The name "Xiangxiang" was collected from the public, and 320,000 were collected at once. Xiangxiang made headlines in major newspapers as soon as she was born, and banners celebrating Xiangxiang's birth were held everywhere on the streets.
This time, in order to see the "fairy" mother and the twins "Xiaoxiao" and "Leilee", Japanese fans tried their best to gaze for 60 seconds, and they also worked hard.
A netizen named Rabbit Fairy shared her personal experience:
When she was working in Hiroshima, she told her Japanese friends who worked together about touching pandas. As a result, all Japanese people who heard her talk about this would shake hands with her pandas. Just to get along with the nobleness of giant pandas, there was an old lady who looked at her with tears in her eyes and said to her:
"あなたホン㞞彩せだだね! - You are so happy!"
You can see giant pandas in the Shanghai Zoo for 40 yuan tickets. Suddenly, I felt, yes, we are really happy!
