(Text/Nian Yifeng Ma Hanyan) The giant panda " Tuantuan ", which has always touched the hearts of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, unfortunately passed away due to illness on the 19th. All walks of life in Taiwan expressed their reluctance and nostalgia.
According to Taiwan media reports, the 18-year-old giant panda "Tuantuan" suddenly developed symptoms such as epilepsy and foaming on the mouth in late August. On September 18, he was sent to the Animal Hospital affiliated to National Taiwan University for examination and found that there were brain edema and necrosis. As the condition continued to worsen, mainland China also sent experts to Taiwan to visit, but the "Tuantuan" condition was still getting better and worse. In the early morning of the 19th, the medical team finally decided to let go with tears in their eyes. Taipei Zoo said that the medical care team has confirmed that the heartbeat of "Tuantuan" will stop at 1:48 pm on the 19th.
Taipei Zoo said that "Tuantuan" had epilepsy again at 1:05, 1:56 and 3:54 am on the 19th. Although the medical care team gave anti-epileptic drugs to "Tuantuan", the symptoms of "Tuantuan" continued to occur intermittently. After the veterinarians strengthened anti-epileptic and sedative drugs several times, the epilepsy symptoms did not stop temporarily until 7:03 am.
19, after finally waking up, "Tuantuan" kept lying down and resting, showing that she was very weak and could not eat at all. Faced with the deterioration of the "Tuantuan" condition, the medical care team decided to help "Tuantuan" with CT scan and related physiological indicators as soon as possible after discussion.
According to the analysis of the examination results, the condition of "Tuantuan" is no longer reversible. Even if you find a way to wake up from deep anesthesia, "Tuantuan" will find it difficult to live independently with quality. Therefore, the medical care team still decided to let "Tuantuan" sleep in anesthesia and not continue to suffer.
"Tuantuan" born on September 1, 2004, together with the female giant panda "Yuanyuan", was presented to Taiwan by the mainland on December 23, 2008. The two giant pandas immediately became the most popular animal stars in the Taipei Zoo. It has been 14 years since "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" lived in Taiwan. Now that "Tuantuan" has passed away, many people are very reluctant to leave.
Regarding the death of "Tuantuan", Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe posted a mourning message on Facebook saying: "Thank you 'Tuantuan' for having accompanied many Taiwanese people for more than ten years to grow and laugh. Taipei Zoo is richer and better, so are our memories." He also wrote "Goodbye 'Tuantuan'" at the end.
Many netizens also left messages to mourn, hoping that "Tuantuan" will no longer hurt and be a little angel with peace of mind. Netizens' messages show their love and reluctance to "Tuantuan", "I just watched the panda at Muzha Zoo", "'Tuantuan' will always be in our most beautiful memories", "Tuantuan for fulfilling our youth."
On the online forum in Taiwan, the article about "Tuantuan" passing away was quickly mourned by netizens. I hope "Tuantuan" can go smoothly, "Goodbye", "Give many memories of children", "Satisfied with the change, hope to be buried in Taiwan", "I hope Sichuan Wolong Panda Base can understand Taiwan's efforts", "Witness the representative of the times".
Some netizens were also shocked after learning the bad news, wanting to know whether the zoo will hold a farewell ceremony for "Tuantuan" in the future and "open people to burn incense and offer flowers."
Taiwan's "China Times News Network" reported that "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" have been in Taiwan for 14 years, which is one of the evidences of cross-strait peaceful exchanges and represents a symbol of cross-strait peace.
In January 2009, "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" made their first public debut at the Taipei Zoo. Visitors wanted to get the number plate in the panda hall, and the row was only a few hours. That year, the number of visitors to the panda hall reached 3.6 million.
