The giant panda " Tuantuan " was sent to Taiwan unfortunately passed away

In 2008, with the mainland's hope for peaceful reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the giant panda "tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" settled in Taiwan, opening up their own new life journey. Two cute giant pandas became popular "stars" when they arrived in Taiwan and were deeply loved by the Taiwanese people.

In August this year, "Tuantuan" developed epilepsy symptoms. After learning the news, the Giant Panda Protection Research Center immediately established an expert group to remotely provide technical support for Taipei Zoo . In mid-October, the condition of "Tuantuan" further deteriorated, and even showed symptoms such as weakness in the hind limbs and decreased appetite, and he was listless all day long. According to the MMI report of Tuantuan, Tuantuan may have malignant brain tumors, but the specific cause has not been determined because of no invasive sectional examination.

After the condition of "Tuantuan" worsened, mainland experts rushed to Taiwan as soon as possible to assist the Taipei Zoo in treating "Tuantuan" together, and finally decided to adopt a soothing treatment method based on the physical condition of "Tuantuan". But in the end, "Tuantuan" still failed this catastrophe. On the evening of November 17, he suffered four epilepsy times. Although he used a large number of anti-epileptic drugs, he was still unable to make up for the situation and finally passed away in the early morning of the 19th. Fortunately, "Tuantuan" passed away in anesthesia and did not feel too much pain.

"Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" are of great significance to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait

In fact, as early as 2005, the mainland announced that it would give Taiwan compatriots a giant panda that is intended to be peaceful, united and friendly. The Taiwanese people also expressed their deep welcome. There was a grand occasion in the mainland where more than 100 million people voted to choose the names of two giant pandas. However, the DPP authorities at that time decided to split cross-strait relations and obstruct and delay "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" entering Taiwan for various reasons. Until 2008, cross-strait relations improved and the two giant pandas were able to enter Taiwan.

"Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" attracted more than 18,000 Taiwanese people on the first day of visiting the Taipei Zoo. Later, it even became cute and cute, and successfully captured many Taiwanese citizens. During the illness of "Tuantuan", it also touched the hearts of Taiwanese people. Many people went to the giant panda hall of Taipei Zoo to cheer for "Tuantuan" and left blessings for "Tuantuan" on the message board. Netizens also expressed their love for "Tuantuan" online and hoped that "Tuantuan" would recover as soon as possible.

is separated by an Taiwan Strait . Although the people on both sides of the strait miss each other, it is difficult to meet each other. "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" express the people on both sides of the strait's longing for each other and their desire for peaceful reunification, and closely connect the hearts of the people on both sides of the strait. Two giant pandas accompanied the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to grow together, and both sides shared the happiness brought by "tuantuan" and "yuanyuan". From then on, all my thoughts and blessings have been placed.

Although "Tuantuan" has passed away, the joy it brings to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will always remain in everyone's hearts.
