Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, Xiao Qi Ji - their last day at the Smithsonian's National Zoo😘🐼🐼🐼🏡💜💗💙11/7/2023

I never thought it would be so hard to make a QiJi movie.  His everyday life in the SNZ was full of joy and happiness.  I would laugh while making his video.  Until the day he left Washington, DC.  On Nov 8th, 2023 morning.  It was heartbreaking and was a very sad day knowing our beloved giant panda Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and Xiao Qi Ji were departing to China that day.  I was kind of lost 😨

I had a couple of videos I would like to share from last week.  Recently, I have been trying to spend more time watching QiJi and family before they were told to leave by Nov 13th.  Turns out that they left on a much earlier date, that was making me more disappointed.. 

This video was the last day they lived in the Smithsonian National Zoo before they departed to China.  I started making it last night with my teary eyes.  This is why I chose these music - just because of how I am feeling right now.  QiJi, Mei & Tian in this video were still a happy panda with their usual antics.  🤗🐼👶🏻🐼🐾🐾🐾🌳🌳🌳🌳💕

Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and Xiao Qi Ji are our precious treasures.  I feel very grateful that I was able to see my bears Bei Bei, Xiao Qi Ji, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian in person.  They are happy and healthy, were well cared for by the zoo. 🥰

I wish Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and our joyful and funny baby cub Xiao Qi Ji continuously living their joyful life in their new home, China.  I wish Mei & Tian a long life, healthy at their retirement.  Their best memories in Washington, DC would never fade.  They will be missed. 😘💝🐼👶🏻🐼🌷🌻💜💗💙💕💕💕💕💕💕
