Qi Qi will return to Sichuan

Giant panda Qi Qi is about to return to Sichuan, a piece of news that touches the hearts of countless people. Born on July 17, 2018 at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, Qi Qi grew from a 165-gram cub into the "Little Beauty Bear" weighing over 100 kilograms today, with every step of her growth closely followed. Qiqi's name carries three meanings: born in July, the seventh daughter, and the 70th anniversary of the founding of the nation. It was chosen from over 3,000 candidate names, becoming the beloved "little princess" who heals hearts. She once served as a virtual host for CCTV, her lively image deeply ingrained in people's minds; every birthday was celebrated with a custom-made fruit and vegetable ice cake and a bamboo "princess chair," full of ceremony. In spring 2023, Qiqi fell ill with intestinal obstruction, and everyone worked together with the Giant Panda Protection and Research Center and experts from Shanghai Renji Hospital to provide intensive treatment and round-the-clock care, finally seeing her lively again as she pounced on bamboo shoots. Over seven years, Qiqi's fondness for tender bamboo shoots and her playful nature rolling and frolicking have left a deep impression. Come bid farewell to Qi Qi, witness her start a new chapter in life, and look forward to her continuing to grow healthily and happily in Sichuan!
