2024-04-07
? At 8:00 am on the 3rd, it was nearly 2 hours before the opening of the Aibao Park located in Longin City, Gyeonggi do, South Korea. Many tourists had already lined up in the rain to attend a special farewell ceremony. In the morning of that day, the Korean giant panda "Fubao", affectionately known as "Princess Fu", set off from here and embarked on a journey back to China. On April 3rd, people bid farewell to the giant panda "Fubao" in the rain at the Aibao Park in Longin City, Gyeonggi do, South Korea. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yao Qilin captured "Fubao", born on July 20, 2020, as the first baby of the giant pandas "Aibao (Huani)" and "Lebao (Yuanxin)" in South Korea, and also the first giant panda born in South Korea. From birth, "Fubao" has been favored by the Korean people and is truly a "superstar". The cumulative number of clicks on "Fubao" videos uploaded by Aibao Park on social networks has reached 500 million. According to relevant regulations, "Fubao" must return to China before reaching the age of 4. After undergoing a month long health and quarantine management as well as cage transfer adaptation training, "Fubao" is expected to arrive in China later on the 3rd and will be sent to the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center. On April 3rd, people bid farewell to the giant panda "Fubao" in the rain at the Aibao Park in Longin City, Gyeonggi do, South Korea. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yao Qilin took a photo of the farewell ceremony held by Love Treasure Park for "Fubao" with the theme of "Meeting You is a Miracle". Surrounded by the farewell crowd, the caretaker Song Yongkuan affectionately said that today is the day of separation from "Fubao", but it is also the day when "Fubao" begins a new life. "The beautiful encounter with" Fubao "is a very lucky and happy thing, and also a precious memory.". Chinese Ambassador to South Korea, Xing Haiming, stated that as the first naturally bred giant panda born in South Korea, "Fubao" not only promotes research cooperation between China and South Korea in the protection and breeding of giant pandas, but also serves as an envoy of friendship between the two countries, bringing the people of China and South Korea closer together. For safety reasons, tourists are not allowed to directly see "Fubao" during the farewell ceremony. But according to the news from Aibao Park, about 6000 tourists still came to bid farewell to "Fubao" on that day. At the ceremony, people watched the truck carrying "Fubao" in the rain, and from time to time, sobs could be heard. On April 3rd, a woman bid farewell to the giant panda "Fubao" with a sign in the rain at the Aibao Park in Longin City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yao Qilin took a photo of Jin Xianmin who came from Datian City and said that she will use her vacation to visit "Fubao" in China in the future, "hoping that" Fubao "will continue to grow up healthy and happy in China.". At around 10:50 in the morning, the farewell ceremony ended and a truck carrying "Fubao" drove towards the gate of the park. The crowd of people following the truck slowly moved, shouting "Goodbye, Fubao!" "Let's continue to be happy!". After the truck left the park, many tourists still refused to leave. Jin Runjing from Jinpu City couldn't calm down for a long time after bidding farewell to Fubao. She choked up and said that she had experienced some sad things before encountering "Fubao", but "Fubao" healed her. "No matter which city 'Fubao' goes to in China, I will definitely visit it." Keeper Jiang Zheyuan said
