#早安#大熊猫“贝贝”回国了，美国粉丝：你在华盛顿永远有个家! [熊猫] Bei Bei, the most famous resident of Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington D.C., has bid farewell to the U.S. capital and is heading to China. The giant panda is four years old, the age at which all pandas born abroad go to China under their breeding agreements. He began his journey home from his birthplace at the zoo, where fans have been gathering all week to say goodbye. "It's a very sad day on some level, but it's also filled with pride that we've helped to create a healthy and happy, very strong giant panda that can contribute to conservation in China," said Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian's National Zoo.
