For Chengdu, it is a must-visit place for hosting foreign dignitaries, pandas, Wuhou Temple, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Sanxing Tui and other places of interest and famous attractions.
The originally planned three-day trip was shortened to two days because the head of state had to rush back to deal with government affairs. On the first day, the head of state and his party visited the Wuhou Temple, Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley.
The head of state also went to a university in Chengdu on the first day and watched a drama written and performed by students reflecting China-Africa friendship.
The schedule for the next day was shortened a lot. In the morning, I met and discussed with the staff of the consulate. In the afternoon, there was only one arrangement, which was to visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.
The security work on the last afternoon was as rigorous and cautious as ever.
Gao Lie arrived at the panda base early and met Leng Ruobing, who had already arrived to work here the day before.
After reporting on his work, Gao Lie took Leng Ruobing and walked carefully again, then rubbed his sore eyes and stopped under a dense banyan tree.
"Captain Gao..." Leng Ruobing saw that his face was not good and she called out worriedly.
Gao Lie waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. I may be a little tired after staying up two nights."
Leng Ruobing looked at him, bit her lower lip, and asked, "Xue Ying is still angry with you?"
Gao Lie rubbed his face, rubbed his mouth hard twice, and said with a bitter expression: "Don't you know her temper?"
Leng Ruobing didn't say anything. He kicked the stones at his feet, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said, "I'll let Weiwei talk to her. She will leave tomorrow. We can't just let her go back like this."
Gao Lie shook his head, looked at the clear blue sky after the rain, and said firmly: "No, I will find her."
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The president of an African country and his delegation visited the Chengdu Giant Panda Base and were warmly welcomed by the base employees.
The head of state and his party transferred to the sightseeing car at the base and slowly drove into the beautiful bamboo forest corridor. The head of state was attracted by the lush bamboo forest around him and asked the staff around him with interest the names of these bamboos and whether they were large bamboos.
Panda food. The staff replied with a smile, yes.
The first stop of the tour was the Moon Delivery Room.
The giant panda cubs in the nursery made the president and the president's wife, who had come into close contact with China's national treasure for the first time, extremely excited. Especially the president's wife, a kind and compassionate African woman, was simply fascinated by the naive pandas.
She couldn't put it down. She kept asking about the life patterns and habits of pandas. The staff patiently and carefully answered the questions while putting a seven-day-old cub into the lady's arms, allowing her to experience the close contact with pandas up close.
..
"Oh!! So beautiful! So cute! I've only seen pandas on TV before, but I didn't expect them to be so cute and soft. I really love them!"
"Can I adopt one? I want to name it after my little son. I want him to come to China to see this red panda when he grows up!" The lady was very excited and expressed to the hard-working base scientists and employees.
Expressing her gratitude, she said she was very touched that China could maintain such a precious species so well.
The visit was originally scheduled for one and a half hours, but was repeatedly extended due to the head of state and his wife's reluctance to part with the pandas.
In the giant panda kindergarten, my wife took translator Su Fanxi and played closely with a group of giant pandas that were about 10 months old.
Su Fanxi is really crazy.
She said that when she was a child, she and her parents went to the zoo to see pandas. She didn't feel anything at all at the time, but this time it was different. She was almost captured by this furry, cute and adorable national treasure. She fed them apples and bamboo. Su Fanqian
The happy laughter of Mr. and his wife was recorded by cameras.
Gong Xue stood next to them, observing the movements around her with vigilance.
She is different from Su Fanqian who is relaxed and comfortable. She is a special soldier with a major mission, and the safety of the head of state's wife is her only job.
As the visit came to an end, reporters from various media outlets received the notice and dispersed with their equipment in great cooperation. They would be led out by dedicated personnel and then boarded a unified bus back to the city.
The crowd at the Panda Garden gradually became sparse, and apart from the security personnel, the only ones present were the head of state, his wife and their entourage who refused to leave.
Gong Xue heard the safety reminder from the wireless intercom. She breathed out, moved her stiff hands and feet, shook her neck, and walked towards the lady.
The head of state and his wife usually speak in French. Although Gong Xue is not very proficient in French, she can speak it to some extent.
She heard the head of state telling his wife that he wanted to use his iPhone to take a family photo of the couple and the panda.
Su Fanqian was concentrating on teasing the panda far away and did not hear the call from the head of state. The lady was about to call the protective entourage, and Gong Xue took the initiative to walk over.
"Madam, let me take pictures for you."
This was the first time she spoke in front of his wife, and her fluent and pure pronunciation stunned the head of state and his wife. Then, the couple looked at each other, smiled, and gave a thumbs up to the smiling Chinese female soldier, "Very good."
Good! You are... very good!"
Gong Xue took the iPhone from her wife and communicated with them a few words in French. Then she asked the base breeder who was assisting to come over and help, and brought the two panda cubs who were most willing to cooperate to take a photo with the head of state and his wife.
After taking the photo, the head of state and his wife were very satisfied. The head of state even joked: "I will ask Suka to post the photo on a social networking site when I get back. I will definitely indicate that the person who took the photo is Xue!"
Gong Xue smiled and waved her hand, "No need... I'm not good at taking photos..."
The lady looked at that pretty smile and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. She called Su Fanqian and then handed her the iPhone, "Please take a group photo for us."
As a result, the photo of the Chinese female soldier and the visiting African head of state and his wife holding a panda became a high-quality picture that the media rushed to report hours later.
Gao Lie and Leng Ruobing saw this warm and friendly scene from a distance, and the harsh and cold lines on their faces suddenly softened a lot.
Leng Ruobing, who has an indifferent temperament, couldn't help but admire: "Xue Ying always has this charm. No matter where she goes or what role she plays, she can maintain her purest self, making people can't help but want to get closer...
"
Gao Lie raised the corners of his lips slightly, and in an almost proud tone, he responded with two words in a low voice: "Of course!"
Of course.
Don’t even look at whose wife it is!
Leng Ruobing quietly glanced at the extremely arrogant major officer, clenched his fists and coughed lightly. He turned away and looked at the smiling young female soldier in the garden, wishing in his heart that this pair would be a perfect match.
But the couple can reconcile as soon as possible...
