Chapter 675: The History of Panda Hunting by Westerners!
What Lu Yifei saw was a video post, with a graphic introduction below. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, she just saw the film and television forum at random, and this post suddenly appeared as a refined post, but as she watched more and more, her attention completely shifted from the movie shootout she was not interested in, to the content on her mobile phone.
After thinking about it, Lu Yifei took out the headphones and plugged them in, and while stuffing them into his ears, he also clicked on the video content.
On the black screen, a piece of background music that sets off the atmosphere, and a text representing the title appears on the screen.
Who Brought the Panda to America?
The text is in English, and Lu Yifei reads easily without pressure.
Panda, dark circles, round head, soft and cute round body, every day you know the living state of holding bamboo to gnaw, can easily capture the hearts of most people, can be said to be the most beloved cute thing in the world, just now Lu Yifei was attracted to see the word "panda".
After reading the title, Lu Yifei was a little puzzled, in her impression, in the current world, Japan and the United States have pandas, which are "borrowed" from rabbit nests, and are eagerly loved by local people, especially children.
But the content in the video broke her impression.
A deep electronic synthesized male voice appears, accompanied by a pair of precious historical photographs, and the narrator also introduces the content at the right time.
"The panda, arguably the most popular animal for children in the world, also has its presence in the Americas. Many people believe that the panda first set foot in the Americas because Premier Zhou presented him with a pair of pandas, 'Lingling' and 'Xingxing', when Nixon visited China in 1972. When the pandas arrived at the National Zoo of the Americas on April 26, 8,000 people braved the rain to wait for the adorable elves, which is also known as 'panda diplomacy' in history. ”
"But if I told you that in the 30s of the 20th century, the Americas once got pandas, combined with that special era of history, what would you think?"
"First of all, let's understand that if a country wants to get pandas, it has two ways. ”
"The first is to have an extremely friendly national cooperative relationship with the flower growers, so that they have the opportunity to obtain the pandas 'loaned' by the Chinese side through diplomatic channels, and they have to give the Chinese side a large 'lease fee' every year. This kind of panda is jokingly called by rabbits as 'pandas that go to work abroad', and its sovereignty belongs to the flower planter, and the offspring produced also belong to the Chinese side. Even with such harsh conditions, countries around the world with conditions are still extremely eager for the arrival of this oriental elf. ”
"There is another method that has now failed and can only exist before the last century, and that is poaching!"
"In fact, even at the beginning of the last century, when the flower growers were poor and weak, there was only one country in the world that had received live pandas from them, and this country was the Americas!"
Lu Yifei's heart moved, between the usual work attitude, she keenly noticed that in the video, it was said that it was a "live panda".
Is there still a dead panda?
Lu Yifei, who was guessing in his heart, was suddenly stunned by the facts revealed in the video!
"This situation is due to the panda's low ability to adapt to the living environment. In fact, since 1869, when the French missionary Armand David found a panda skin in a hunter's house in Sichuan Province and bought it and sent it to the Paris Museum, this black and white animal immediately caused a great sensation in the Western world. Just as the Oriental people see the panda, they worship it as a sacred object, calling it 'Pixiu', 'iron-eating beast', 'tapir', 'unicorn', in their own literary works "Erya", "Book of Songs" are recorded, Western countries are also extremely amazed by this magical animal. ”
"As a result, countless 'explorers' who are now longed for by children have come from the West to plant flowers, and children's impression of this profession is full of adventure and excitement, representing a pioneering spirit, but these glamorous 'exploration gentlemen' are actually poachers!"
……
"Theodore Roosevelt is the famous implementer of Roosevelt's New Deal who helped the Americas survive the Great Depression, and the king of the 'King ordered the wolves to be killed, but the deer were also exterminated because of it' mentioned in textbooks, and Roosevelt, who is known as one of the greatest presidents in the history of the Americas!
"They wanted to steal live pandas out of flowers, the first panda they captured, infected and died during transportation, the Roosevelt brothers made it into a specimen, which is still in a museum in Chicago;
The two executioners wrote in "Tracking the Giant Panda": We shot at the back of the drifting panda at the same time, and both shots hit accurately. The panda fell to the ground, but quickly got up again and ran into the dense jungle. But we know that it can't escape the palm of our hand!"
……
Since then, Western explorers have gone on a hunt for China's giant pandas. The Americans Sage, Sheldon, the German Schaefer, and the British Brocklehurst have successively aimed their criminal guns at the giant pandas. Between 1936 and 1946, more than 16 live giant pandas were shipped from China, and more than 70 giant panda specimens were sent to Western museums. ”
Horror numbers, horror history!
A group of desirable professional "explorers" do not do the adventure as imagined, explore the unknown earth world, but hunt pandas!
If you can steal, you steal!
If you can't steal, hunt!
Or peel the skin, or remove the internal organs to make a specimen!
Even the two sons of one of the greatest presidents in the history of the Americas organized poaching gangs to hunt them down!
This murderous behavior has made them famous in the Western world!
Thinking of these cute little guys he had seen in Sichuan, and then imagining that they were killed by bullets, Lu Yifei gritted his teeth in anger, and he couldn't wait to kill all these poachers!
She was so angry that she forgot today's task, forgot her work, and didn't pay attention to "Special Forces" on the screen at all, and even felt a little disgusting, so she walked out of the theater without hesitation.
Fang Tong next to him rushed over with little Lori in his arms, a little puzzled: "Sister Yifei, what's wrong?"
Lu Yifei waved his hand, signaling her not to follow, and returned to his lounge with his eyes full of fire, Fang Tong was a little worried, put the little Lori down and patted her back gently.
Little Lori ran and followed with a heart, threw herself into Lu Yifei's arms, and curiously soothed her emotions. (To be continued.) )
