Just read the news that Mei Sheng had escaped and was hurt but no one seems to know anything more on the internet. Such a handsome and wonderful panda. Please let us know how he is and what is happening to our young bear.

Best regards,
Carolyn

Hello, Lisa, as a token of appreciation, my little poem comes a bit late owing to a sudden illness in our family.
But, better late than never!.

Poem for Lisa and Mei Sheng

Not only did you melt my heart
but all the others with your art
of guiding us through to Wolong.
I'm glad to know nothing went wrong.
In fact, you met quite a few friends
and know Mei Sheng is in good hands.
Especially a guy named Scott,
no doubt the likes Mei Sheng a lot.
This should for you be some relief
and hopefully will ease your grief.
No wonder that you shed some tears
because of all those future fears.
You surely had the right to cry
when finally saying good-bye"
to Mei Sheng, your beloved " boy"
that you helped raising, what a joy!
I, too, was tearful when I " saw"
you patting Mei Sheng's " grown-up" paw.
However, you were very brave;
you knew the reason is to save
the pandas and their destiny
and carry on Mei's family tree.
I can imagine it was tough.
My thanks can never be enough
for all your work and " TLC"
and, last not least, your fine story.
Like panda lovers all around
I wish your story could be bound
as a full book for all to see,
a document for history.

Lisa, keep up the good work! A new task is awaiting you, Zhen Zhen needs you, too. Best regards, Ruth

I went and had a look. So happy to see Mei Sheng again but he looks so sad, started me off crying again. I wish i could go give him a hug. I thought he looked as if he'd lost a bit of weight.

I'm pleased he's out of quarantine though.

Did anyone manage to get the page translated?

Hello fellow Panda Fans…. (I hope this post will make it)… I have just received an eChristmas Card from Panda's International. I found that Team Husar Wildlife Photographers supplied all of the Panda Pictures on the card. If you want to see some amazing Panda Photo's do a search for them. One reason I'm suggesting it is because the Photo's are all from Wolong. The settings are beautiful, lush forest, waterfalls, snow…. I was so excited because now I can picture where Mei will be living and just how much he will have to explore.

I just saw on the panda blog site, pics of Mei Sheng, now out of quarantine ….and on his own! : )

He looked great…..but a little lost and lonely.

Check out Panda Fan Club photos of Mei Sheng's release from quarantine. He has quite an entourage of gowned panda keepers etc.

Bless you Chet, #95, for checking in on Bai Yun's family. How old is Dong Dong now? As I recall she is a grand matron of panda mothers. Since Bai Yun was the first successful birth of a cub who survived at Wolong, Dong Dong was herself a celebrity(star).

Rebecca #90 - on my way to volunteer in Wolong in early September, I stopped by Guangzhou to visit Shi Shi at Guangzhou Zoo. He is well, and well-taken care of by his keepers. Unfortunately, he is now totally blind. I also went to Panyu Safari World to visit Dong Dong, who is Bai Yun's mother.
