"Meng" comes to "Meng"! Follow the reporter to visit the "animal diplomat" in the zoo

"Source of this article: Guangzhou Daily"
In the history of Guangzhou’s foreign exchanges, apart from the exchange of visits between the government and citizens, these naive "animal diplomats" such as giant pandas, flamingos, mandrills, hippos and baboons are also worth mentioning. In fact, many citizens may have met them in the zoo!
How are these lovely "animal diplomats" doing now? Have they all had children? On the afternoon of November 22nd, Guangzhou Daily reporter came to Guangzhou Zoo to follow the steps of animal keepers and learn about their recent situation. These naive animals can be described as "bursting with popularity" in the park, attracting many citizens and tourists to stop and watch.
The hippopotamus Handa in Fukuoka, Japan:
Eating carrots and apples every day has given birth to 15 baby hippos.
Although it was Monday, when I came to the hippo living area of Guangzhou Zoo, the reporter found that many tourists were watching and taking pictures outside the guardrail, and many parents were explaining to their children.
"Handy, clear!" Liu Zufang, the breeder, approached the hippo’s hut and clapped his hands. Hearing the sound, two huge hippos suddenly walked into the small lake and swam towards the shore, waiting for feeding with their mouths open "meekly". Master Liu came to the lake with a plastic bucket filled with a dozen carrots and several apples, and successfully started the daily feeding process.

Fukuoka, Japan is the first sister city in Guangzhou. The two cities have active exchanges and frequent exchanges in the field of animals. In 1980, Guangzhou borrowed giant pandas to Fukuoka, which caused a sensation in Fukuoka and even Japan. Since then, the two sides have also exchanged animals such as red-crowned cranes and flamingos.
In 2003, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship and the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the two cities, Yamasaki Hirotaro, then mayor of Fukuoka, Japan, sent a special letter saying that he would give a hippo to Guangzhou, hoping to express the sincere greetings of Fukuoka citizens to Guangzhou citizens through animal donation.
On October 1st of the same year, Handa (English name: kanta), a male hippopotamus from Fukuoka Zoo, Japan, bearing the friendship between Guangzhou and Fukuoka, settled in Guangzhou Zoo. This lovely hippopotamus was born in Japan on December 26th, 2000. After he came to Guangzhou Zoo, he quickly tied the knot with the female hippopotamus born in this park. Handa is 21 years old this year and has become the father of 15 hippo babies.
"Handa is currently in good physical condition, weighing 1.5 tons, and eating about 2 pounds of carrots and 1 pound of apples every day." Liu Zufang has worked in Guangzhou Zoo for more than 40 years, and he is familiar with the living habits of various animals. In 2017, he began to take over the feeding work of Handa. At first, Master Liu was a little afraid of hippos. After getting familiar with them, he felt that they became cute. "Now I feel that these animals are like their own children."
"I didn’t know this hippo was sent by Fukuoka before. These animals are precious gifts, and we should take good care of them. " After hearing the explanation from the breeder at the scene, Miss Wu told reporters.
● Asian elephants in Vietnam:
Four hybrid elephants have been bred and their offspring can understand Cantonese.
When I came to the Asian Elephant Garden, I only heard the breeder Wu Qiyuan shouting "Baolong" and "Yuelong" in Cantonese. To everyone’s surprise, not long after, an elephant nearly 3 meters high came out of the rest house. This elephant, weighing nearly 5 tons, is called "Yuelong". It turned out to be a "hybrid elephant" and the largest Asian elephant in the park now.
Elon, a female Asian elephant, was a gift from Ho Chi Minh, a former Vietnamese national leader, to children in Guangzhou in 1960. She was 21 years old when she entered the park. After coming to Guangzhou Zoo, Elon not only acted as a messenger of friendship, but also took on the heavy responsibility of breeding offspring. He married the Asian elephant Babao who entered the park in Guangzhou Zoo in 1959, and successively bred four Asian elephants, including two sons, Baolong, 45, and Yuelong, 41, who have been exhibited in Guangzhou Zoo ever since. Elon and Babao died in 1983. They were made into specimens and placed in the Museum of Biology of Sun Yat-sen University.
"’Yuelong’ eats 380 kilograms of food every day, including grass, fruit, corn and so on. Usually, we also give each elephant a regular physical examination. " Wu Qiyuan studied veterinary medicine, and he admitted that he became a breeder because he liked elephants. "I hope to visit Vietnam one day and learn from their experience in caring for Asian elephants."
● Seychelles is a national ritual turtle;
"Cantonese-style recipes" can last as long as 200 years.
In October 2014, the rare giant Adabora elephant turtle from Seychelles, a beautiful island country in Africa, came to Guangzhou as a "diplomatic envoy" and officially checked into Guangzhou Zoo. Seychelles foreign ministers, ambassadors to China and garden representatives witnessed this grand event in Panlongyuan Park, and held a handover ceremony for the elephant turtle to settle in Guangzhou.
According to the staff of Guangzhou Zoo, the longevity of turtles is well known, and the elephant turtle is a well-deserved "longevity male among turtles". Adabora elephant turtle is the longest-lived tortoise in the world, with a life span of more than 200 years. When she entered Guangzhou Zoo, this Adabora elephant turtle was about 20 to 25 years old, and she was still a "young man" among the elephants. Elephant turtles eat a lot and can eat more than 20 kilograms of fresh leaves and other plants a day. After coming to Guangzhou, the garden also specially prepared "Cantonese-style recipes" for them, such as sweet potato vines, fruits and leaves.
"We all call it Dada, with a gentle personality and a weight of more than 230 kilograms. The Adabora elephant turtle comes from Seychelles, Africa, and its suitable living temperature is 28℃-30℃. It adapts well in Guangzhou most of the time. " Recently, the temperature in Guangzhou has dropped, and the breeder Chen Hong and his colleagues specially turned on the heating lamp for the elephant turtle in the house. See Chen Hong patted Dada’s back, and after stroking the turtle’s foot several times, it stood up obediently. "Dada likes brightly colored food. When we guide it to transition, we will use some green leafy vegetables or carrots to guide it to crawl."
"The elephant turtle has a long life, and we also expect it to live comfortably in Guangzhou Zoo." Chen Hong said.

Shohei Ohtani: "Two Knives" in Baseball.

Kondo Daisuke/Wen

On July 5th, Shohei Ohtani, known as "the best Japanese athlete trained after the Second World War", celebrated his 29th birthday. Shohei Ohtani is 193cm tall and weighs 102kg. At present, he is a star player of American professional baseball team "los angeles angels".

Because the popularity of baseball in China is relatively low, it may be difficult for China people to appreciate the greatness of Shohei Ohtani. Like China, there is no major professional baseball league in Germany. Therefore, the German media once made a very vivid analogy with football. Shohei Ohtani, a Japanese professional baseball player, is like Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer on the football field.

Messi, known as the best striker of this century, was the minister of the arm stocks who won the Argentine national team in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 last year. Neuer, known as the best goalkeeper in the world, has a superb defensive ability. If football matches are used as an analogy, Shohei Ohtani can be a goalkeeper like Neuer and create a lot of goals like Messi.

However, in the real football match, it is impossible for a player to be a goalkeeper and a striker at the same time. Similarly, in baseball, it is impossible to be a pitcher equivalent to goal keeper and a home run batter equivalent to a football striker. Of course, this, like football, is not "forbidden" in rules, but "impossible" in human physical fitness. Therefore, all football players and baseball players have never thought about having two jobs on the court.

However, since childhood, Shohei Ohtani dreamed that he could become a "court-riding" player who could throw, hit and run. In 2013, after graduating from high school at the age of 18, he joined the Japanese professional baseball team "Hokkaido Japanese Ham Fighters".

Perhaps it was God who blessed Shohei Ohtani. At that time, the head coach of this team was Hideki Kuriyama, who was called "the first Japanese intellectual coach". Later, coach Kuriyama became the head coach of the Japanese national team. At the WBC(WorldBaseballClassic) held in March this year, he led the outstanding players of Otani Xiangping to win the championship.

At that time, Coach Kuriyama was very supportive of Shohei Ohtani’s dream, and even praised his ability as a "two-knife flow"-usually, when Japanese samurai confronted each other, everyone used a knife, but Shohei Ohtani had both the throwing and hitting knives, so he was called "two-knife flow" by Coach Kuriyama. It didn’t take long for the word "two knives" to become a buzzword in Japan.

In Japanese, the expression similar to the meaning of "two knives" also includes "two pairs of sandals", that is, doing one’s job from nine to five in the morning and doing sideline work after work or on rest days in the evening. This behavior is called "wearing two pairs of sandals" by the Japanese.

However, in real life, neither "two knives" nor "wearing two pairs of sandals" is a compliment. This is because in the traditional Japanese values, the concept of "not serving two monarchs (samurai can’t be loyal to two monarchs at the same time)" and "those who chase two rabbits will lose (those who chase two rabbits at the same time will not get one)" has long been deeply rooted.

Therefore, Shohei Ohtani is under great pressure. However, he finally withstood all the pressure and became a bright star in Japanese professional baseball. In the 2016 season four years later, he led the team to win the national championship in Japan.

According to the baseball agreement signed between Japan and the United States, players who have played in the Japanese professional baseball league for five years can transfer to the American professional baseball league. According to this agreement, coach Kuriyama sent Shohei Ohtani to the American professional baseball team "los angeles angels" in 2018.

At the beginning of Shohei Ohtani’s transfer, the American media made harsh comments. If you borrow the above-mentioned German media, it is "I want to be Messi and Neuer. Is there something wrong with my brain?"

In fact, it is only natural that the American media "bad-mouthed" Shohei Ohtani. After all, since the end of World War II, although the general environment of baseball has been improved, no American baseball player is willing to make such an earth-shattering attempt. Shohei Ohtani, on the other hand, insisted on his "two-knife flow" in the United States.

In 2021, Shohei Ohtani’s capabilities broke out in an all-round way. As a batter, he hit 46 home runs; As a pitcher, he achieved a record of 9 wins and 2 losses and struck out 156 times, which perfectly achieved "the combination of Messi and Neuer". In the end, he won the MVP award that year.

In 2022, Shohei Ohtani continued the excellent state of last season, hitting 34 home runs as a batter and 15 wins and 9 losses as a pitcher. The reason why the loss as a pitcher has increased is mainly because los angeles angels was originally a weak team. Therefore, Shohei Ohtani always gives people the feeling of being alone in the team.

In March this year, the curtain of the new season of the American Professional Baseball League opened, and 30 teams will play 162 games. By July 9th, all the games in the first half of the season had ended, and Shohei Ohtani was striding forward to rewrite the history of American professional baseball.

As a batter, he is far ahead with 32 home runs. Hit rate is 0.302, ranking sixth. RBI 71, ranked second. 7 wins and 4 losses as a pitcher. Strike out 132 times, ranking third. If he has the same wonderful performance in the second half of the season, then he will definitely win the MVP for the second time.

At the moment, there are two things about Shohei Ohtani that have attracted much attention:

One is his annual salary next year. This year, Shohei Ohtani’s annual salary is 30 million US dollars (about 220 million yuan). If the sponsorship contract is added, it is said that it can reach more than 60 million US dollars (about 430 million yuan).

However, Shohei Ohtani will have the right to choose teams freely from next year. Therefore, his annual salary may reach 100 million US dollars (about 720 million yuan). At present, the highest annual salary of professional baseball players in the United States is 43 million US dollars (about 310 million yuan) for pitchers and 40 million US dollars (about 290 million yuan) for batters. Otani is both a pitcher and a batter, so his annual salary is at least the sum of the two.

Second, it is his marriage problem. Shohei Ohtani is 29 years old this year, but he has never mentioned his other half. When the team went on an expedition to new york in April this year, the local media asked him, "What do you think of new york at night?" His answer turned out to be "not very clear, because I have never been out of the hotel."

Therefore, it is said that many Japanese actresses, models and anchors are now coveting the throne of "Otani Xiangping’s wife". In American baseball fields, there are even white women holding "Be my boyfriend!" in the audience. Posters cheer for him.

Personally, I think the most remarkable thing about him lies in his personality and humanity. If there is rubbish on the site, he will immediately pick it up and put it into his pocket; If there is dust splashing on the opponent’s body, he will come forward and wipe it off with his hand; No matter how tired he is in training and competition, he will sign autographs for fans on the sidelines. Not only that, he has never lost his temper on the court. No one knows what great achievements this Japanese treasure will make in the future. I just hope that he can stay away from injuries and be safe and smooth.

Superconducting technology can be used in power transmission, maglev train, MRI, energy, communication and other fields. The realization of room temperature superconducting technology will make the application in these fields more convenient and economical. In addition, room temperature superconducting technology can also be applied to quantum computers and other fields, which will promote the development of computer technology.

Tevez: Ferguson said he would buy me out, and he was very sad when I left Manchester United.

Live on March 11 th, former Argentine striker Tevez said in an interview with the media that Ferguson was very sad when he left Manchester United.

Tevez joined Manchester United on loan from West Ham in 2007 and moved to Manchester City in 2009. Tevez said: "I was loaned to Manchester United, and Ferguson told me that they would buy me out. Then he signed Berbatov and left me out of the starting list."

"The day before the Champions League final against Barcelona, I told Ferguson that I was going to Manchester City. At that time, I was close to reaching an agreement with Manchester City. After the Champions League final, I flew to Abu Dhabi with my family to meet the Manchester City boss and solve the contract problem, which was like a dagger for him (Ferguson). "
