In December 2008, the mainland presented a pair of giant pandas to his Taiwanese compatriots, named " Tuantuan " and "Yuanyuan". This pair of pandas arrived in Taipei City to settle down with the eager expectations of the mainland for reunion on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Before they knew it, a full 14 years had passed. Now the giant panda "Tuantuan" has been seriously ill for many days and is unable to eat normally. After many efforts failed, the Taipei City Zoo has submitted an application to the Mainland Affairs Council in Taiwan a few days ago, hoping that mainland experts can go to Taipei to participate in the treatment. The DPP authorities have not spoken to stop him yet, but Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe jumped out and responded coldly, saying, "It's not that we need them to see the bears, our medical care is fine. But the delivery unit seems to be a married wife is about to die. If you want to come and have a look, then okay, whatever." The cold words really make people feel angry and disheartened. I will tell you what the specific situation is.
Giant Panda Tuantuan, Yuanyuan
Giant Panda Tuantuan and Yuanyuan
Pandas are known as "living fossils". In modern history, pandas have also represented China as "goodwill ambassador" in important overseas occasions. In 2005, the Kuomintang Chairman Lien Zhan visited the mainland and started the "ice melting journey" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. On May 3, 2005, on the eve of Lien Chan's return to Taiwan, the mainland announced that it would send three "big gifts". This includes a pair of giant pandas, some agricultural products in Taiwan are exempt from tariffs, and the opening of mainlanders to visit Taiwan. Because the DPP authorities were still in power at that time, Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou was mainly responsible for the docking person for the event of giving away pandas. Ma Ying-jeou also plans to choose animals with Taiwanese characteristics to give them back to the mainland. Chimpanzees, honey bear , and black bear have all been selected. Finally, Taipei Muzha Zoo, as the main responsible unit for receiving pandas, plans to donate a pair of Taiwanese macaques to mainland compatriots. At the same time, the "Xinguang Pavilion" built by private enterprises donated NT$200 million is also under active construction. The atmosphere between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has eased a lot because of the cute animals.
Lien Zhan and giant panda
The situation on the island in 2005 is very delicate. Although Chen Shui-bian of the DPP was successfully re-elected, he was always facing a situation full of crises. The younger generation of the Kuomintang is also rising, and Ma Ying-jeou of Taipei City, Hu Zhiqiang of Taichung City and others are all highly expected by the outside world. Lian Zhan once said that after arriving in Taipei, pandas must find opportunities to get pandas in Taichung City. It is best to stay in Taipei for the first generation of pandas and send them to Taichung . In October 2005, eleven candidate giant pandas met with the audience, all from the Wolong Center in Sichuan. After many selections, the mainland finally selected a pair of healthiest giant pandas to give to their Taiwanese compatriots. After the two giant pandas were unveiled, the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association launched the "Event to collect nicknames for Taiwan giant pandas". Mainland people, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and overseas Chinese have named the pair of giant pandas, and have received more than 70,000 names. After the first round of screening in mainland China, the 10 most popular pairs of nicknames announced to the outside world at the 2006 Spring Festival Gala.
giant panda At the 2006 Spring Festival Gala, the ten most recognized names were "Tuantuan, Yuanyuan"; "Hehe, Meimei"; "Huanhuan, Lele"; "Baby, Beibei"; "Kiss, Love"; "Healthy, Healthy"; "Dragon, Dragon, Phoenix"; "Congcong, Huihui"; "Zhuangzhuang, Jiaojiao", "Zhiming, Chunjiao". On the Spring Festival, after a new round of voting, "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" received the highest number of votes, so the first pair of giant pandas given to Taiwan were named "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan". This also represents the beautiful vision of people from all walks of life for the future of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. We really hope that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can reunite as soon as possible. According to news reports of that year,
" At 2 pm on December 23, 2008, "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" boarded the Boeing 747 special plane of Taiwan's EVA Airlines taking off from Chengdu Shuangliu Airport .The plane arrived in Taipei at 5 pm on December 23, 2008, and checked in Taiwan Muzha Zoo at around 6 pm on December 23, 2008.
At that time, Taiwan Island was already under the control of the Kuomintang led by Ma Ying-jeou, so all the processes went smoothly. Taiwanese people also loved pandas very much, and the audience was endless.
" Yuanzai” was born
July 6, 2013, "Yuanyuan" gave birth to a panda cub through artificial insemination, which was also the first child of "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" in Taiwan. On August 4, 2013, when this cub was full moon, the zoo held a special party for it, attracting a large number of people to participate. htm The l8 Zoo also officially announced to the outside world that the newly born panda cub is named " Yuanzai ", which is a female giant panda. The birth of "Yuanzai" immediately triggered the "panda craze" on the island, and Taipei City also took advantage of the opportunity to launch more than 30 panda peripheral products, creating commercial value of more than NT$500 million. On June 28, 2020, "Yuanyuan" gave birth to his youngest daughter "Yuanbao" again. , but the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has been deteriorating, and this news has not attracted much attention.
"Tuantuan" is sick
"Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" are both pandas born in 2004. They are now eighteen years old, and are considered elderly pandas. Recently, Taipei City Zoo has discovered the number of food, defecation and The flexibility is declining, and it is accompanied by the symptoms of epilepsy. After the diagnosis and treatment of Tuantuan on the island and the results of multiple MRIs, the giant panda "tuantuan" suffered from a very serious brain disease. After nearly two months of diagnosis and treatment, the situation still did not improve. Taipei Zoo then applied to the "Mainland Affairs Council" in charge of cross-strait affairs, hoping that the mainland would send experienced experts to Taipei to participate in the treatment of panda "tuantuan". The mainland also responded and announced that it would send two experts to Taiwan to assist in the treatment. But what unexpected was the reaction of Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe. Logically speaking, giant pandas live in Taipei, and the Taipei Municipal Government is also one of the important beneficiaries. However, Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe was disheartened and even angry about the degree of coldness at this time.
Ke Wenzhe
Ke Wenzhe's cold-blooded
Ke Wenzhe was once the director of the famous emergency department on Taiwan's island and a respected medical professor. He is known as the "father of Ye Ke Membrane". The "Ye Ke Membrane" technology used in the treatment of critically ill patients in the mainland and Taiwan was introduced by Ke Wenzhe Taiwan Island was then introduced to the mainland. Perhaps because he saw too much separation from life and death, his awe of life and his due emotions were also numb. It is not so much that he was too cold-blooded. Ke Wenzhe publicly stated: "You can't ask a panda to live a hundred years old." When asked whether he was considering asking for help from the mainland, Ke Wenzhe directly pointed out: "No, Taiwan's veterinarians are not bad either. But the delivery unit felt that it seemed that the married wife was about to die, so she wanted to go and take a look, okay, whatever. " These words also make people wonder whether the Taipei City Zoo has obtained enough resources to take care of the giant pandas donated to Taiwan by the mainland, and whether the pandas received appropriate treatment in time after they became ill. The trust between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has once again cracked due to Ke Wenzhe's inappropriate speech.
Ke Wenzhe's cold-blooded speech
In fact, when the pandas were sent to Taiwan in the mainland, there were noises on the island. comparison For example, the DPP once accused the mainland of being "too stingy" and should give a bigger gift. At that time, Lien Chan went to the mainland for a visit to the mainland, which actually took a great risk. Chen Shui-bian's authorities could use this as an excuse to attack Lien Chan. Seeing that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait get along well because of pandas, these DPP disciples were naturally unwilling to accept it. Some ignorant legislative representatives of the DPP's opinion even said that the gift of giant pandas requires the consent of " Washington Convention ". The Washington Convention aimed at protecting endangered wildlife does show conditional support for panda rental, but this is limited to the members of the United Nations. The DPP attempted to continue to manipulate the argument of "Taiwan independence" on this issue. In order to create the illusion of equality between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the result could only be a self-slap in the face. The most radical Taiwan Union Party even jumped out to denounce the Kuomintang, clamoring: " accepts giant pandas to accept ', one country, two systems '".
Huang Jie
Kuokao When he was in charge of Kaohsiung I also wanted giant pandas to enter Kaohsiung, but Democratic Progressive Party City Councillors Guo Jianmeng and Huang Wenyi said that the cost of raising is too expensive and Kaohsiung cannot afford it. The famous "Taiwan independence" parliamentarian Huang Jie even made a fuss, claiming: "Giant pandas should not be used as a political tool for exchange of interests. The best way to protect is to keep conservation animals in their habitat. If the city government really wants to promote animal conservation education, it should not be to sacrifice the rights of animals to satisfy self-interest." Compared with the speech of the Taiwan Federation of Taiwan's Party, it is obvious who is using the issue of giant pandas to create political focus. After the panda arrived in Taipei, many important members of the DPP also took relatives and friends to watch the panda. includes Taipei City Councillors Zhuang Ruixiong, Huang Xiangqun, Wang Xiaowei and Liu Yaoren, who are from the Democratic Progressive Party, and they even participated in the celebration of panda entering the Taipei City Zoo. It can be seen from this that the person who really consumes the panda problem is the politicians on the island, and all they think about is their own political interests.
Zhuang Ruixiong
Compared with Ke Wenzhe's cold-blooded speech and the DPP's malicious consumption, children in Taipei City are actively cheering for the sick panda "Tuantuan". There is even a special confession wall on the island, which is filled with children's blessings for pandas. The most written words are "Come on Tuantuan". Perhaps only innocent children have real emotions and warmth in the eyes of them, and only children can see pandas "tuantuan" instead of full election calculations. 2022 is the year of elections on Taiwan’s island, and Ko Wen-je is about to face the dilemma of leaving office. His next plan is definitely to participate in the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, and cross-strait issues will be his highlight at that time. Ke Wenzhe has long adhered to the policy idea of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait". "Taipei-Shanghai Twin Cities Forum" is the only official exchange platform left by the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Ke Wenzhe's argument has also been recognized by the mainland. This is what Ke Wenzhe's cross-strait advantages lies. His core idea is one point, that is, "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is better than one hatred on both sides of the Taiwan Strait."
Ke Wenzhe was once a doctor
But Ke Wenzhe is now also a complex and changeable politician, and he is no longer an ordinary doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded back then. His "One Family on Both Sides" are propaganda slogans in the economic field. We hope that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be "one family" economically, but they are definitely not "one family" politically. Moreover, there are also rhetorical traps in the theory of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait", and there are multiple family relationships such as parents and children, brothers and younger brothers. Ke Wenzhe did not say clearly whether the mother and son who were kind and filial, or brothers who were kind and respectful. The relationship that Ko Wen-je tends to be in fact the relationship between brothers and sisters, and he also hopes to create a political illusion of equality between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. For example, at this year's "Two Cities Forum", Ko Wen-je publicly accused the mainland because of the mainland military aircraft inspecting the Taiwan Strait. There is definitely not a "brother country" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but a mother and son who are connected by blood. Coupled with Ke Wenzhe’s cold-blooded speech this time, we can see that his so-called “one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait” does not have much warmth and credibility at all. He is so cold-blooded about pandas, let alone cross-strait relations in real life.
Hope "Tuantuan" recovers as soon as possible
As soon as Ke Wenzhe's remarks came out, many netizens also began to condemn them.The most common sentence is: "If Tuantuan goes home, then please return the four of Tuantuanyuan to us, and let Tuantuan return to his hometown in Sichuan. We swear that we will never step into such a cold-blooded place again in the future." The relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has become particularly tense under a series of malicious operations by Taiwanese politicians. The Panda incident is just a side silhouette, and the core problem is that there is no basis for mutual trust between the two sides. I still remember that in the Taiwanese variety show that year, a Taiwanese young man shouted to the mainland with a slogan "Who is with you" in his hand. Mainland people are sad, heartbroken and heartbroken. If Taiwan continues to be cold-blooded like this, the only one who will be hurt in the end will be himself.
