A few days ago, the Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center in Mainland China received a notification from the Taipei Zoo that the giant panda “Tuantuan” stopped beating at 1:48 pm on the 19th. The news of the death of “Tuantuan” shocked both sides of the strait, making compatriots on both sides of the strait very sad, and all walks of life on the island expressed their condolences.
On that day, a large number of fans who missed “Tuantuan” flocked to the giant panda pavilion of the Taipei Zoo.TaiwanFans left condolence messages, praying that “Tuantuan is an angel” and praised “Tuantuan is really brave and has perseverance”.
On the 19th, the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council said that “Tuantuan” has been in the Taipei Zoo for more than ten years, bringing joy and good memories to many Taiwanese friends, big and small, and letting everyone know more on giant pandas, which help trade across the strait. The MAC also said that if mainland experts travel to Taiwan to participate in relevant commemorative activities, the MAC will provide necessary assistance.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said:14 years ago, the giant pandas “Tuantuan” and “Yuanyuan” went to Taiwan to settle down, which is an important symbol of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. He said that as a “national treasure”, the giant panda deserves to be loved by compatriots on both sides of the strait. People on both sides of the strait have a bond of heart and positive interactions, which should be cherished and kept together.
The people-to-people ties and benevolent interactions are the original intention of “Tuantuan” and “Yuanyuan” to go to Taiwan, and it is also the inspiration they brought to compatriots on both sides of the strait for 14 years in Taiwan.
In 2005, Lien Chan, then chairman of the Kuomintang, went on an “icebreaker trip” that brought “Tuan Tuan” and “Yuan Yuan” to Taiwan. Although the matter was once disturbed by political factors, in December 2008, these two cute and adorable “national treasure” giant pandas landed on the motherland’s treasure island waiting for compatriots on both sides of the strait.
Taiwan’s “United Daily News” commented that “Tuantuan” has witnessed cross-strait relations all his life. These two giant pandas have not only brought significant tourist and economic benefits, but have also become a big star in children’s hearts and a messenger of peace between the two sides of the strait, “just as it has only black and white, but no blue it is green”. The article mentions,On the eve of the end of his life, “Tuantuan” also launched another cross-strait cooperation opportunity, allowing mainland experts to come to assist in diagnosis and treatment. Tuantuan’s life has become a portrait of the changes in cross-strait relations. An opportunity to inherit the past and inaugurate the future.
Although “Tuan Tuan” passed away, “Yuan Yuan” and their sons “Yuan Zai” and “Yuan Bao” still accompany Taiwanese compatriots. At the same time, the desire to get closer to each other is still strong and the pace of cross-strait integration and development remains steady. we believe,As long as compatriots on both sides of the strait are of the same opinion and continue to accumulate family affection and goodwill, the day of reunification on both sides of the strait will not be too far off!
