The death of the giant panda " Tuantuan " brought back the thoughts of many mainland people to the 2006 Spring Festival Gala. After more than 100 million viewers voted enthusiastically, our two lovely national treasures won the nicknames of "tuantuan" and "yuanyuan". They also embarked on a "peace journey" with everyone's love and expectations.

More than ten years have passed away, and "Tuantuan" passed away due to ruthless illness, leaving behind the childhood sweetheart "Yuanyuan" and two daughters " Yuanzai " and "Yuanbao". One question that many people are more concerned about is whether "Yuanyuan" knows that "Tuantuan" is gone and will it be sad after "Tuantuan" die? How did its two daughters reproduce?
For the first question, according to the island's Zhongshi News Network on the 21st, Ye Jiesheng, former director of Taipei Zoo, said that giant pandas have poor eyesight and they usually confirm the location of their partners through their sense of smell and taste. For example, after a female giant panda in the wild is in heat, the smell emitted by the body will attract the male giant panda to come from all the way.
"Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" are childhood sweethearts. They have lived together since childhood and have become familiar with each other's smell. Therefore, "Yuanyuan" can definitely find that "Tuantuan" is not around through smell, but she doesn't know that "Tuantuan" is no longer there. She may have clearly lost a companion in her heart, but it will not affect her normal life.

Document records that giant pandas are solitary animals. They do not live together in groups like group animals. Even if their partners and family members die, they will not be too sad. The solitary animals like elephants will hold mourning ceremonies due to the death of their family or partners, while the giant pandas will be relatively calm. Therefore, "Yuanyuan" should not be too sad and will not have much impact on life.
Interestingly, Li Zhengzhe, a doctor at National Taiwan University who once helped "Tuantuan" install dentures, posted that although "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" are husband and wife, their behavior is actually more like siblings. "Yuanyuan" mother is the wild broken-legged giant panda " Leilei ". She has been influenced by her mother since she was a child and has a more alert and hot personality. The father and mother of "Tuantuan" are both artificially reproduced giant pandas. "Tuantuan" has been a standard "warm man" since childhood, with a gentle and obedient personality.
Li Zhengzhe said that "Yuanyuan" often bullies "Tuantuan", but "Tuantuan" has a gentle personality, and it doesn't matter even if he is bullied all day long. Ye Jiesheng also said that the "Tuantuan" character is a bit silly. Every time when "Yuanyuan" is in heat, he puts the two babies together, but "Tuantuan" just wants to play with "Yuanyuan" and has no other thoughts at all. They had no choice but to use the method of artificial insemination of to allow them to reproduce the next generation, and "Tuantuan" may never know that he was a father.

The question of how the two daughters of "Tuantuan" reproduce offspring has also sparked heated discussions on the island. According to Global Network html on the 221st, the wife of "Tuantuan" is real name Youyou and nicknamed Huangmao. After they came to Taiwan at the age of 4, they gave birth to their daughter "Yuanzai" on July 6, 2013 and gave birth to another daughter "Yuanzai" on June 28, 2020. Mainland experts said that the reproductive rate of giant pandas was very low, and "Yuanzai" and "Yuanbao" were both artificial insemination. They are more likely to find pairings in the mainland in the future, which can avoid the harm caused by inbreeding. Moreover, the mainland has detailed genetic archives for each giant panda, and finally after evaluation, it can be decided to determine the appropriate target. Taipei Zoo also stated that they will make suggestions on the reproduction of the "tuantuan" offspring every year and strive for them.
"Tuantuan", "Yuanyuan" and the two babies have not only become big stars on the island, but also the builders of the cross-strait peace bridge. Although "Tuantuan" passed away, it is in danger and has also promoted an opportunity for cross-strait cooperation. The dark will eventually bloom, and the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will sooner or later usher in changes.
