China News Service, Seoul, June 13th (Liu Xu, Wang Dongqian) On the morning of the 12th, the giant panda "Fubao" officially met the public at the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center. This is the first time "Fubao" has met the public since returning to China from South Korea in April this year, and has attracted the attention of Korean media.
Giant panda "Fubao" is 4 years old this year. He ended his life in South Korea on April 3 and returned to China. Before meeting the public, "Fubao" had successfully adapted to all aspects of transportation, isolation and quarantine, and integration into the population. His overall life was stable and in good condition.
Yonhap News Agency reported that on the first day of "Fubao" "opening", more than 10 Korean reporters and dozens of Chinese reporters were present. Facing the camera, "Fubao" showed no stage fright and was "full of relaxation." Despite the hot weather, tourists who traveled long distances to see "Fubao" were still in high spirits even if they lined up in a long line. The news released by the "Central Daily News" also described the living environment of "Fubao" and the process of its "business". It quoted a number of comments from netizens on Chinese social media, lamenting the Chinese people's love for "Fubao" and said Visitors who visited on the day of the interview said, "I hope 'Fubao' will continue to bring happiness to the Korean people and the Chinese people."
South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" news introduced the living conditions of "Fubao" and tourists' love for "Fubao" with pictures and texts. The news also quoted the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center's introduction to the care of "Fubao". The news from South Korea's "Asia Daily" was titled "Seeing "Fubao" Still Cute Again", recording in detail the process of "Fubao" meeting the public, and introducing China's international cooperation with giant pandas.
South Korea's SBS TV station broadcast a video report of "Fubao"'s public appearance and stated that "Fubao"'s happy eating appearance "reminds us of its scene in South Korea"; the report also said that Chinese audiences expressed their opinions on "Fubao" on the Internet. "Fubao" showed great interest in the "eating and broadcasting" posture, and specifically mentioned that the Chinese media used the Korean version of "Fubao" "support" songs as background music during the live broadcast.
A reporter from South Korea's news1 news agency interviewed Kim Soo-kyung (transliteration), a Korean fan from Shanghai. Kim Soo-kyung said that after hearing the news that "Fubao" was about to meet the public, she specially applied for annual leave, "because I don't know when I will have the opportunity to come again in the future." Kim Soo-kyung saw "Fubao" after queuing for about 40 minutes that day. "I felt relieved when I saw that 'Fubao' was eating comfortably. I also want to tell the majority of 'Fubao' fans to rest assured."
