As China's national treasure, other countries are treated as national treasure-level animals even if they have been rented out. The behavior of treating our national treasures like the Memphis Zoo in the United States not only hurts the pandas, but also hurts the hearts of the Chinese people.
In December 2022, the Memphis Zoo in the United States announced that it would return the giant pandas "Yaya" and "Lele" to China to end the 20-year loan period. But it is regrettable that on February 1 this year, "Lele" passed away at the Memphis Zoo in the United States.
Now, the condition of "Yaya" is also worrying. Her fur is black and yellow, her bones are as thin as her face is so thin that she looks a bit rigid, and she is not as cute as before, and she looks lively and cute, which makes people feel distressed.
If the lease contract was not renewed ten years ago, the two national treasures had returned to China. But in order to continue to promote peace and friendship, they have gone from youth to old age in a foreign land. I thought that the treasure in our eyes was also a treasure in the eyes of others. But I never thought that their situation is heartbreaking.
For Chinese people, giant pandas are not only a literal "national treasure", but also a treasure that is held in their hands and afraid of falling and holding them in their mouths. They are also the pride and pride of Chinese people. This kind of pride and pride must not tolerate any harm!
Now the Memphis Zoo in the United States says it also wants to rent a pair of young pandas. I am afraid that many Chinese people will not agree, because it is our responsibility and mission to protect every giant panda that has gone abroad. It is impossible for anyone to rent our national treasures as treasures!
