The "male nanny" of a "top female star"
In 2023, the panda Hehua (nicknamed Huahua) from the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base became popular on social platforms and became the favorite bear of netizens. Grandpa Tan, the keeper who is known as "the top female star in the panda world" and has been responsible for taking care of Huahua, has also become popular.
Grandpa Tan’s original name is Tan Jintao. The 51-year-old has been called “Grandpa” for more than ten years. He said: "Everyone calls with the pandas, because many of the giant pandas I take care of have become parents and have children of their own, so my seniority has also increased." Many are similar to or even older than him. Older tourists will blurt out "Grandpa Tan" when they see him. In this regard, he felt, "It's very kind of everyone to call you that."
In 1999, 27-year-old Tan Jintao entered the giant panda base and became a breeder, mainly responsible for taking care of giant pandas that are one or two years old. Their age is equivalent to the transition period for humans from babies to children, so Grandpa Tan often said that he was an early education teacher and led a "panda kindergarten".
At the end of 2021, Huahua joined the "Panda Kindergarten". Although Huahua's zongzi-like body shape has won the favor of netizens, it may be a sad story for herself. In a racial sense, Huahua is a stunted and unsound giant panda. He was born prematurely and was born with the sole of his right hind leg turned out. He is the only giant panda in the panda base who cannot climb trees. The official introduction board describes Huahua as "short, fat and hairy, slow in movement and not good at climbing trees."
Huahua's twin brother He Ye has grown to a height of 1.8 meters, while Huahua is only 1.5 meters tall. Because of the height difference, Huahua is often slapped down by the naughty He Ye.
Huahua moves clumsily, peels bamboo shoots slowly, and is often snatched away by other bear friends. There is a video widely circulated on the Internet. Huahua's peeled bamboo shoots were taken away by her companion Runyue (also known as Ergou) three times in a row. In the end, Huahua simply threw the bamboo shoots away, as if to say: "I'll give them all to you!"
All this was seen by the breeder, Grandpa Tan. Because he was afraid that Huahua would starve, Grandpa Tan always kept a small stove for him alone. He also said helplessly: "I don't dare to feed Huahua too much, for fear of supporting the two dogs."
Grandpa Tan spent a lot of thought on Huahua's meal. Considering Huahua’s poor bite strength, Grandpa Tan will carefully cut its food into small pieces. While giving Huahua a small start, Grandpa Tan took the opportunity to give Huahua a physical education class, using food to guide her to stand up on tree branches or stones to exercise the strength of her hind limbs.
In order to prevent other pandas from snatching food as much as possible, Grandpa Tan sometimes "transports bears away from the mountains". Fortunately, Huahua has gradually learned to protect food.
Huahua: declined ha
The iron-clad Grandpa Tan, the flowing panda
A reporter asked Grandpa Tan, is Huahua his favorite child? He said: "It's not my favorite. I like all the pandas I feed better. Huahua eats worse and walks slower, so I need to take more care of him." panda. Others called him "The Ferryman." In the past 24 years, Grandpa Tan himself has lost count of how many baby giant pandas he has taken care of. After spending time together day and night, Grandpa Tan can not only distinguish pandas by their facial features, but he can even tell which "little bear friend" he is by looking at their backs.
Grandpa Tan also mastered a secret technique, known as the "Guolai Summoning Technique". Every time before the pandas started to eat, he shouted in Sichuan dialect at the top of his voice, "Guolai (come here), Guolai (come here), Zeer (here)" )..." The little black and white dumplings will hear the sound and come. After spreading on the Internet, the power of "Guolai Summoning Technique" has greatly increased. When Grandpa Tan calls "Guolai", not only the pandas, but also tourists will come running.
often blooms in small ways, and is particularly sensitive to the "Golai Summoning Technique". Grandpa Tan said: "You don't necessarily pay attention to people when you call it by its name. If you call it 'Guolai', you will immediately raise your head." Some netizens were worried that Huahua didn't know that her name was "Huahua" and thought she was called "Guolai".
Meng Lan, the "Third Prince of Xizhimen" who now dominates the Beijing Zoo, would take a shortcut and run to Grandpa Tan when she heard Grandpa Tan calling her in kindergarten.
Grandpa Tan teaches well. In order to give physical education lessons to his little bear friends, he will take a bamboo pole and tie an apple or steamed bun to the other end, "catching pandas" like fishing, and let them stand up to pick food.
Of course, Grandpa Tan will also have headaches. When his little bear friend is being naughty and refuses to go back to the house, Grandpa Tan has to go to the battle in person and carry back the little baby weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms. He has contributed a lot to "collecting cats". Famous scene".
Grandpa Tan once said, "Raising pandas is like raising your own children." In the video circulated on the Internet, three giant pandas were rolling in the mound, and the "Three Coal Mining Giants" were dirty. Grandpa Tan looked hesitant to speak, which was interpreted by netizens as "I want to give him money again." You guys take a shower, it really gives you a headache." Countless mothers shouted: Grandpa Tan! I know you!
In fact, this is contrary to Grandpa Tan’s true thoughts. The giant pandas are "digging coal" happily, which shows that they are very healthy, which is what he is most happy to see. He said that he has a serious expression because he does not have the habit of "expression management". "Some people think that I am unhappy because my face is not good-looking. That is not true. My personality is like that."
Currently, Grandpa Tan's "Panda Kindergarten" has 6 panda children. . Grandpa Tan’s hometown is in Shifang, Deyang, about 70 kilometers away from Chengdu. He rarely goes home once, and sometimes he has to celebrate the New Year at the base. In order to better take care of the pandas, he rarely asks for leave and often lives in a hut next to the bear house. When he hears any movement at night, he immediately gets up to check.
Because he was not at home often, his daughter was affectionate and polite to him when she was three or four years old. Every time she saw him come home, she would always ask: "How long did you stay at my house this time?" Now, Tan Jintao My daughter came to Chengdu to work, and the two of them had more opportunities to meet. He said happily: "She still understands my work."
The "Tan Mianmian" combination looks more and more like
There is a popular saying in the human entertainment circle: "A small fire depends on support, a big fire depends on life." Grandpa Tan is still not very good at it. Understanding why Huahua became so popular, he said with a naive smile: "I don't know what's going on, but people all over the country seem to know that there is a cute 'Huahua' in Chengdu." In fact, in addition to Huahua's body shape, he also has an indisputable personality. It aroused everyone's love and resonance.
Huahua has contributed many emoticons, one of which shows two giant pandas being squeezed between them and unable to move, which arouses the sympathy of countless migrant workers: "It seems like I am surrounded by the troubles of life!"
Huahua has a good personality. Grandpa Tan personally stamped it. He once said in an interview that other pandas use tap water pipes to bathe, but "Huahua has a good personality. If you give it some food, people can go in and wipe its face."
