Chapter 676: The Dead Panda
"Sister is fine! Xiao Yi is obedient, eat candy and play for a while, and my sister will read the information......"
In the lounge, Lu Yifei said to Little Lori with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But her words didn't have much effect, and when she re-watched the video, little Lori poked her head into her arms, hanging on her like a koala, and looked at the mobile phone video together.
Little Lori was very sensible very early, and she learned a lot of Chinese characters and words from Su Taohua, and her eyes lit up when she saw the picture of "Panda", she hunched over and pulled out the earphone plug, and watched it with Lu Yifei.
The video was "paused" to "played", continuing to reveal that shocking history.
……
"Let's focus on the first person who successfully poached a live panda, and her name is Ruth.
"In 1934, just two weeks after Ruth and her husband were married, her husband, as an 'explorer', went to the East to poach pandas, but as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he fell ill and died!"
"No one knows what Ruth was thinking after receiving the news of her husband's death, the only thing we know today is that after this, she also chose to come to the East and choose to poach pandas!"
"Maybe it's for love, maybe it's just because she has no livelihood, she, like her husband, chose the path of poaching!"
"She found the oriental guide Yang Kunting, formed a poaching team, searched in Sichuan for two months, and finally found a wild giant panda, a group of people chased and intercepted for a while, although the giant panda escaped, but accidentally found a red panda that was born only ten days ago, weighing only about a kilogram!"
"What about the mother of this red panda, is it the child of the giant panda they are chasing, or is it just out foraging?"
"No one in the team knows, and no one cares, when a young panda is found, the only thing this group of shameless poachers will do is to take this cute little guy away! ”
"At that time, although the national government was weak, but because of the foreign poachers in various names, in the East to hunt and kill giant pandas, has sprouted the relevant wildlife protection awareness, although because the country is weak and can't speak, but the customs department, still prevented Ruth from taking away the red panda, the newspaper at the time, even reported on this, it wrote: 'Ruth is forbidden to take any live animals out of China, unless permission is obtained'!"
"There is no documentation of what happened during that time, but what is certain is that the power from the Americas should not be underestimated. ”
"The New York Times said, 'Some senior government officials have resisted pressure from many Chinese agencies to insist on issuing the necessary permits to Ruth. Time magazine said: "Some angry Chinese officials were forced to agree to let Ruth take her exotic animal home." And Ruth's own essay suggests that it was one of Chiang's lieutenants who played a big role......"
"On December 2, 1936, Ruth carried the red panda in a rattan basket, and the pass said that in the covered basket was 'a puppy, worth $20.' ”
"In this way, Ruth took the red panda 'Su Lin' and boarded the passenger ship back to the Americas, and her behavior also caused a sensation in the entire Americas and even the Western world!"
……
"The world's first giant panda to leave China, and it was alive, came to the Americas. ”
"Ruth's hands of fame and fortune!" Time magazine praised him as a scientific discovery of the highest importance! The New York Times shouted: "Ruth has acquired the rarest animal in the world!" The famous blind writer Helen Keller came all the way to touch this panda!
"Thousands of people come every day to visit the red panda, which is only on display for two hours. In the first three months, the number was more than 300,000 people!"
"The high-class explorer circle embraced Ruth, the Americans hailed her as 'Madame Panda,' and all kinds of high-end advertisements, fashionable clothing, and award ceremonies rushed to her, and she stepped into the upper class. ”
"If that's all there is to it, that's all, Ruth's behavior can still be covered up with 'fulfilling the will for her husband', but after several bargains with Chicago Brookfield Zoo, and finally sold the red panda for a sky-high price of $8,000 at the time, it really revealed her heart!"
"She's a thief!"
"A thief who steals pandas from China and sells them, but still shouts 'This panda is my daughter'! A shameless thief who uses the power of the American government to rob it openly if he can't steal!"
"Whose mother will sell her daughter!"
"Whose mother would decide to go to China to steal a male panda and pair it with her own 'daughter' after hearing the price offered by the zoo?!"
"In her book, Ruth tries her best to excuse herself, trying to show that she is different from those professional explorers who seek fame and fortune, but what is the difference between what she does and those robbers and thieves who hold their rods with open fires?"
……
"July 1937 was a day of shame for that country in the East, and anyone who took a fancy to his home could take anything from his own country at will. ”
"Because of the weakness of our own national strength, countless people have fallen under the iron hooves of the invaders. At the same time, they can't even protect a panda in their own country, and Ruth takes an intimate photo of the panda, which is published in Life magazine, highlighting the fact that she is a thief. ”
For the sky-high reward offered by the zoo, Ruth once again set foot on Chinese soil and came to hunt giant pandas again. ”
But at this time, the Western explorers had been blinded by Ruth's fame and fortune, and they went around in China to hunt for giant pandas, some smuggling them, and some of them cut off all the pandas' hair and disguised them as brown bears. Some of these pandas died of infection, and some of them died of fever in the cabin during the ship!"
"It's still the same routine, if you can smuggle it, you will smuggle it, and if you can't smuggle it, you will kill it and make it into a specimen!"
"After a search, Ruth finally captured alive an adult giant panda whom she named 'Yin', but this giant panda had a fierce temperament, ran rampant in the cage, and refused to eat. A few days later, 'Yin' struggled to die in a cage. ”
At the same time, Su Lin, a panda in the Americas, also died, and the cause of death was said to be pneumonia, and some said to be due to swallowing a wooden thorn. ”
In fact, Su Lin's death was already doomed, and the zoo only thought about making money from pandas, and never thought about what a panda's natural food was, and they actually used boiled radishes and cabbage as panda food. ”
"Under such circumstances, how can a red panda not die?!" (To be continued.) )
