Exclusive | Xingxing and Jingjing are reluctant to say goodbye. Why do they need to be quarantined before returning to China?

(Kuala Lumpur, 26th/exclusive report) The journey of the giant pandas "Xingxing" and "Jingjing" back to China has entered the countdown stage, and the moment of departure is gradually approaching, which makes people feel reluctant.

However, you may be curious: Why do pandas also need to be quarantined before returning to China?

In fact, for giant pandas living abroad, returning home is not as simple as "going home" directly, but they have to go through a series of quarantine and health inspection procedures.


For giant pandas living abroad, returning home is not as simple as just "going home", but requires going through a series of isolation and health quarantine procedures.

Simply put, the biggest purpose of the quarantine procedure is to ensure the panda's physical condition is stable. During the quarantine period, a professional team will closely observe their health status, conduct comprehensive examinations and care, and adjust their diet and daily routine according to their physical and mental reactions to help them gradually adapt to the upcoming changes.

"Xingxing" and "Jingjing" officially entered quarantine on April 18, and it is now the 9th day. Although this means that they have temporarily left their familiar display space, the people of Malaysia are still very lucky as they can still say goodbye to them from afar through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and quietly give them their final companionship.

The quarantine room may also be a period of farewell - a silent and affectionate transition time. People look at each other through the glass. They may not know the significance of the upcoming journey, but we understand that every moment of gaze and wave is a thank you and reluctance for their ten years of companionship.


In the history of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, there is a chapter called "Fuwa and Fengyi Diplomacy". Over the past 10 years, this pair of giant pandas have built the most important common and beautiful memories for the people of both countries.
