Thank you for loving Fu Bao.

I'll take her to China safely.

Please don't forget Fu Bao. Thank you.

When Ai Bao and Le Bao
came to Korea as a pair,

our goal was to help them
form a strong bond as a family.

But Fu Bao's birth
introduced many challenges.

Many people put in great effort
over five to six years.

We faced failures and frustrations.

The journey to Fu Bao's birth
was fraught with challenges.

As a vulnerable species,
pandas have a small population.

Adult pandas live alone
and only meet each other to mate.

But they only associate
for about three days a year.

Conceiving is hard
and survival rates for cubs are low,

so we were very concerned.

In time, she took her first step,
toddled and clung to my leg,

and even climbed up a tree.

She matured and passed
each stage in her development well.

Watching her grow was fascinating.

It was really rewarding.

When baby pandas born outside China
reach the age of four

and can start to mate with a partner,

they must return.

This is written in the CITES agreement.

That means pandas born abroad
can expect a farewell in their life.

The same applies to Fu Bao.

So before she goes back to China,

I want to shower her with my love
and wish her a happy future.

It snowed a lot yesterday.

Almost like a snowstorm.

I saw the snow piled up and thought,

"Oh, Fu Bao will absolutely love it!"

I thought this might be a gift

for the Bao family, which made me happy.

Faster!

Wake up. I know you can smell it.

"Wait, what's that smell?"

"It smells so yummy!"

It's milk!

Your eyes are sparkling now.

You're all awake now.

Let's go.

Good girl.

Stand up! Good.

Great job.

Good job.

You too, Hui. You should sit up now.

No, let go of this.

It's not yours.

What? What is it?

You drank all of it.

Does my mouth smell of milk?

I didn't drink any.

At the entrance, please copy.

All right, let's get moving.

Is that your slide?

Let's begin this wonderful day.

- Hello, good morning.
- Good morning.

One, two, three, four,

- five, six, seven, eight.
- Five, six, seven, eight.

We're expecting 8,500 visitors today,
with a group of 700.

Please keep noise to a minimum
when entering with bamboo

to avoid startling the pandas.

Please take care of yourselves,
and let's support each other.

- Ready.
- Ready!

- Here we go!
- Panda, monkey, let's go!

Let's do this.

It was announced yesterday
that Fu Bao will be going to China soon.

She'll leave in early April,

so guests can meet her
only until early March.

I'm assuming many people who love Fu Bao

may have mixed feelings.

As her zookeeper,

I also think it's time for me
to get ready to say goodbye.

Hello, Chumpy.

Fu Bao will be transferred to China soon.

We're preparing some things
for her departure

so she can recall her happy times here.

They're our most memorable
and meaningful moments.

Fu Bao and her mother
used to spend time in a hammock.

I'm making a hammock just for her

so she can remember
those precious moments.

I can climb trees better than Fu Bao now.

Wow, this isn't easy.

I'm so excited to give her this.

But we can't let her get hurt on it,

and I have to be careful too.

So I need to make it strong and safe.

I have to focus now,
so please don't talk to me.

He must've been watching as usual,

because he showed up
right when I needed help.

Thanks to him,
I was able to finish up safely.

So this is how we live.

Wow.

It's something new.

When she sees something
unfamiliar in her territory,

she tries to scare it,
which is a type of display behavior.

Once she's sure it's safe
and realizes it doesn't cause any harm,

she'll eventually feel comfortable,

lie there to eat bamboo, and accept it.

She just needs some time.

I spent about two months in China
before bringing Ai Bao and Le Bao here.

I went to the Dujiangyan Panda Base
in Sichuan Province,

where a field of rapeseed
was in full bloom.

They were beautiful and smelled amazing.

For Ai Bao and Le Bao, who grew up
with the scent of rapeseed,

we plant them each spring
to remind them of their home in China.

- Thankfully, it's much warmer now.
- That's right.

It's hard to plant rapeseed
when it's as cold as last week,

but the weather is helping us today.

The real concern is
how well the twin sisters will behave.

If the twins trample on the flowers
to keep their sister from leaving,

Fu Bao won't get to see the flowers.

So I'll need to explain it to the twins.

I need some thick ones.

This one looks good.

On special days like Valentine's Day,

I give Fu Bao
a piece of candy filled with love.

We call it "Chupa Shoots."

I hope that the rest of her panda life

will be filled with sweet happenings.

This candy is to wish
for a sweet life ahead of her.

Fu Bao resembles both her mom and dad.

Just as her parents adapted well to Korea,

I believe Fu Bao will adapt well
to her new life in China.

Ai Bao was a bit shy at first,

so she wouldn't come close when I fed her

and even sat with her back to me.

But as I continued
to treat her with sincerity,

she eventually began to open up to me.

Now we share a very special bond,
like a father and daughter.

LE BAO'S ROOM

Le Bao was affectionate from the start.

He was a cheerful, happy panda.

When we first brought
Ai Bao and Le Bao to Korea,

we hoped they would adapt well
and be loved by many people.

We also aimed to be the first
to succeed in natural breeding in Korea,

so that we could introduce
baby pandas to the public.

ORGANIC BAMBOO SHOOT

Even though it wasn't easy,
Fu Bao was born healthy

and so were her twin sisters.

And now, we're having
a wonderful time with the Bao family.

Hui Bao.

Bye.

Bye, everyone.

Right, that's all yours.

During the quarantine period,

Fu Bao's health will be closely monitored.

But the sudden change
to her life during quarantine

could make her anxious and distressed.

So we decided to
use the room she was born in

to help her feel more comfortable.

The importance of quarantine procedures
cannot be overstated.

Fu Bao will go through
a month-long quarantine,

during which time she will undergo
disease prevention measures

and will be thoroughly reviewed.

Since she will be
transferred to China by plane,

we will take this time
to train her for it in advance.

She might be puzzled when she comes in,
as well as the twins.

Ai Bao will find this familiar
because she's experienced it before,

but it'll be interesting to see
how the babies react to this environment.

Are you holding the door for me?

It's dangerous up here.

What are you doing up here?

I took care of some pandas

for four or five years
back in the nineties.

But I had to say goodbye to them suddenly,
and it was hard.

They were Ming Ming and Li Li.

They were sent back
during the Asian financial crisis.

It was upsetting.

But after meeting Fu Bao,

she brought me more happiness
than I could ever deserve.

Before I met Fu Bao and the other pandas,

I had a heartbreaking experience
working as a keeper.

I was responsible
for the care of primates.

There was an infant primate
that we bottle-fed,

but it passed away,
and I had to say goodbye.

When such things happen,
zookeepers can feel bereft,

and I was no exception.

I doubted if I'd ever
feel that passion again,

and it was hard for me
to open my heart for a while.

It wasn't easy.

But Fu Bao not only healed my wounds,

but she also made me realize
that animals can help you recover.

So I'm truly grateful for that.

Many people ask

what it is about Fu Bao
that makes her so special.

I think there's something special
about the healing power of animals,

which is a quality that sets them apart
from the chaotic world we live in.

People seem to find happiness, love,
and joy through the animals here.

And it means a lot to me too,
as she helped me through my struggles.

By watching Fu Bao's videos,

people might find the strength
to overcome their struggles.

On top of that, she's the first panda
to be born naturally in Korea,

and her adorable appearance
also got her the nickname "Furincess."

And as we all went through
the depressing pandemic,

people seemed to find comfort
in Ai Bao's loving care for Fu Bao

and the strong bond
between Fu Bao and the zookeepers.

I think many people found solace in that.

"Dear Zookeeper Kang,

I'm one of the aunties
who love the Bao Family."

"Watching Fu Bao's videos helped
my prolonged depression to improve,

and now I'm so much healthier
that I no longer need medication."

"Fu Bao's cuteness and adorable antics
made me laugh out loud,

and Ai Bao's love for Fu Bao brought me
to tears, reminding me of my mother."

"As you and Zookeeper Song said,

I will also try to let her go
since I love her."

I hope she fully recovers.

That's the hard part.

A farewell with Fu Bao
was inevitable from the start,

and as scheduled,

the time is coming for her
to return before she turns four.

So I've been telling her fans

that we should pour out our love for her
and root for her without any regrets

as she starts her new journey.

But as time draws near,

I realize I'm the one
filled with concerns and regrets.

Contrary to what I've been saying,

I also have regrets and sorrow
thinking about the farewell.

I know it's something I have to bear,
but I worry it'll be unbearable.

Fu Bao.

Were you eating bamboo? Good girl.

Fu Bao.

You're such a good girl.

Oh no.

Feeling strange in this new place?

It's awkward, isn't it?

Yes, I know.

You're doing great, Fu Bao.

Fu Bao.

Your departure date is set, you know?

It's been decided.

You'll be leaving in early April.

Okay?

You have to leave.

But I'm not so worried.

You'll do great, right?

You're a smart girl.

I know you'll do great
because you're smart.

Fu Bao, you'll do great wherever you go.

Because you're so smart,
just like your mom.

Look at you doing so great in a new place.

Fu Bao.

I'll take good care of you
until you leave.

I'll prepare everything perfectly
so you can leave safe and sound.

Good night.

I'll get going.

See you tomorrow, okay?

Bye.

BAO HOUSE

Call Mother, please.

MOTHER

- Hello?
- Yes, Mother.

- Hey.
- This is Cher-won.

Oh, okay.

Is the snow cleared from the roads?

The main roads are all clear,
but it's piled up on the side.

- Still?
- Yes.

Gosh, you have to be careful
when you're outside.

I'm going to have dinner
with my co-workers tonight.

I was wondering
why you didn't call me today.

I knew you'd wonder why I didn't call,
even if it's just one day.

Get home safely.

Okay, good night. I'll call you tomorrow.

- All right.
- Bye now.

- Go home safely, okay?
- Yes, I will.

She's 88 years old.

She can still walk well.

She can think, talk, and eat well,

and also see and hear things well.

She's very lucky.

Young-kwan should say something, no?

- Go, Team Fu!
- Let's go!

How's everyone doing?

I feel at home when I'm in my garden.

It's very calming,
just like being with my mother.

So I feel relaxed
regardless of what I do here.

I won't hurt you while I do this.

All right.

I'll visit more when Fu Bao leaves.

By then,

this place will be covered in green
like a fortress.

Could you hold on a second?

- Can't you leave those for Fu Bao?
- For a snow bomb? I can't.

- She might snap these off.
- I see.

Or she could escape,
so I have to clear the snow.

- The bamboo won't survive.
- I got it.

If Song slips and gets hurt,
I'll have to work alone.

This is for my own good.

You think I won't throw it? I will.

You think I'll only throw once?
I'll throw it twice.

Good. Come here now.

Is it good?

Le Bao.

Fu Bao's leaving. What should we do?

You're sad to see her go too, right?

Is that right?

It's a shame. I feel sad too.

But she has to go.

You feel sad too?

You don't want Fu Bao to go?

Wow, you got a bit heavier, I see.

You look cool snorting like that, Fu Bao.

Wow, getting more skilled, aren't you?

Ai Bao.

Only a few more days till Fu Bao leaves.

Right?

I don't want to believe it.

You don't know what's going on, do you?

Rui, Hui.

Your sister will leave first.

She's going to go first.

Ai Bao,

you raised Fu Bao so well,

so she'll be leaving in good health.

She'll do great, right?

Just like you're doing great here, right?

But why am I so worried?

I know she'll do great,
but I'm still worried.

For today's opening rush...

This is...

We definitely came fully prepared.

But the visitors were even more prepared.

So many people came,
far exceeding our expectations.

Around 6:45 a.m.,

I saw them lining up
past the ticket office

and I knew it'd be a tough day today.

Everyone seems to be coming here.

I was confident
about keeping the crowds in line.

So I was like, "Come on, bring it on,"
thinking I could handle anything.

But today, I realized I was just arrogant.

WAITING TIME: 330 MINUTES

WAITING TIME: 400 MINUTES

420 MINUTES

WE WISH YOU THE BEST, FU BAO

LEAVE A MESSAGE TO FU BAO

FU BAO, YOU WERE A MIRACLE TO ME.
WITH LOVE, SONG BAO.

Move out, please.

Everyone, move out from here.

It's too crowded here.

You're making a fuss at this early hour.

We can't hold any events
if you make the pandas too nervous.

Let's go. It's time.

Let's give them these and come back.

Then we'll take those,
say our greetings, and leave.

Hello, everyone.

Thank you for coming today.

Today is March 3rd,
the last day for Fu Bao to meet you all.

I'm sure many of Fu Bao's fans

must feel distressed and sad.

But please continue to love her
as much as you did before.

Even if Fu Bao leaves,
she's not gone forever.

Just as she was loved here,

I believe she'll be loved more
when she steps into the wider world.

It's been 1,322 days,

and I thank everyone
who joined Fu Bao's journey.

Thank you.

Look, she's here.

Farewell, my dear adorable friend

When you hear the foghorn from afar

Please cry for me

Without letting anyone know

Alone in the deepest night

Farewell, my dear love

When the stars shine brightly from afar

Please tell them for me

Without letting anyone know

That I went away in tears

Everyone, thank you for loving Fu Bao.

I'm saying goodbye on her behalf.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't cry.

Thank you.

- Mr. Kang.
- Yes.

Goodbye

Don't cry.

Goodbye

Goodbye

Fu Bao, you did great.

Fu Bao.

Starting tomorrow, you won't be out here.

Goodbye

Let's head inside now.

Let's go inside.

Fu Bao will go inside now.

What are you doing here?

You should go home now.

We're not leaving.

Please don't cry and go home safely.

See you again.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Going down.

Goodness, it was such a long day.

You all did a great job.

This was our first step.

So this isn't the end.

Does anyone want to share
what they felt today?

It still hasn't hit me
that Fu Bao's leaving next month.

But when I was cleaning up,
the queue wasn't adding up anymore,

and I thought I might never
get this busy again.

How about Ji-hyun?

I had so many emotions.

Sorry.

Today was just the beginning
of the month ahead of us.

We have a long way to go,
so let's comfort each other today

and look for what we can do
to move forward tomorrow.

- Good work.
- Great work today.

Why's everyone laughing
when you're sobbing?

QUARANTINE OFFICE

RESTRICTED AREA

"Quarantine house."

Rhymes with my name.

This is mine.

She ate well in the morning
and is asleep now,

so I feel relieved.

This morning, I let her see me wearing
a quarantine suit for the first time.

Chumpy.

It's me. Me, me, me.

Goodness.

It's me.

Can't you tell?

She didn't approach me,
thinking I'm a stranger.

But in the end, she realized it was me,
so she'll get used to it soon.

You can meet the twins,
Rui and Hui, mommy panda Ai Bao,

and reliable daddy panda Le Bao.
Welcome to Panda World.

The estimated waiting time
is only 200 minutes.

You said 200 minutes. Do it again.

Don't be so nervous.

There's a big difference
between yesterday and today.

It really baffles me.

There were so many visitors yesterday,
so I had to use my voice a lot.

And now I've lost it.

It's so quiet today.

I feel like...

we passed the peak and are descending now.

Everyone here could use
a bit of emotional rest.

Seeing the remaining Bao family
might help cheer us up.

Hui!

I came to get you.

Hui, get up. Let's eat.

Get up.

Come on.

Mommy marked her scent

It's quite a sentimental thing

But it tells me how much I'm loved

Never seen you before, where are you from?

My long, funny-looking green friend

Don't mess with your food

Mom answered instead

Grampa's hands always felt so big

Somehow they feel smaller these days

To see the bigger world

I need to grow up so much more

Every day, I get more scared

If I grow up too fast

The fun, amazing things I see now

Might be forgotten

I hate scary things

I hate responsibilities

That's enough.

INDOOR SHOWROOM ENTRANCE

Sit down and eat this.

Enjoy your meal.

Rolling indoors like that

is most likely her telling us
she's in a bad mood.

It's her way of expressing
that she wants to go outside.

The said behavior has decreased
since the first day,

and now she's in the process
of stabilizing.

Fu Bao.

Hey, Chumpy.

You like the stems better?

There'll be more coming in tonight.

You like them, so I ordered them for you.

I'll give you plenty tomorrow
when I get them.

Bite the camera. It's not mine anyway.

The transport cage that Fu Bao will be in

is one of the cages I made in China
to bring Ai Bao and Le Bao here.

It's the one that Ai Bao used.

It has been a while since then,
so the cage turned a bit rusty.

But those parts have been repaired,
and the cage is now as good as new.

I went inside it
and spent some time there.

Though it wouldn't be fun,
I thought it'd be bearable at least.

Also, I'm going to be with her.

I'll try to comfort her as much as I can.

I hope Fu Bao feels comfortable here.

Come on in.

One, two, three.

Okay.

Be gentle. The panda is still in there.

Move back again when the door closes.

We'll enter from that side,
then turn and set it like this.

- Got it?
- Yes.

Two, three. Be careful with your backs.

Great, you stepped inside.

Good job.

That's it.

What a brave girl.

You're doing great.

Good.

When I wake up every morning,

I look into the mirror and say,

"Young-kwan, you're doing great.
You're not sad at all."

That ritual was working just fine,

but it didn't work this morning.

Because this is really the end,
and she's not going to be here,

I won't be able to meet her
or touch her anymore.

That makes it harder for me.

Fu Bao.

I'll miss you so much.

Okay?

Don't do that.

FUNERAL HOME

THE LATE YANG SUNG-SOON

- We'll see you later.
- Gosh.

See you later.

Are you hugging us too?

- Get home safely.
- Bye.

See you later.

It's me.

- Okay.
- I'm leaving now.

- All right, have a safe trip.
- I will.

Don't worry about things here.

Go and do what you need to do.

All right, thanks.

- Okay, see you.
- Okay.

YOU WERE A MIRACLE TO US.
THANK YOU, FU BAO.

YOU WERE A MIRACLE TO US.
THANK YOU, FU BAO.

We sincerely thank you for loving Fu Bao.

We'll make sure she arrives safely.

Please remember Fu Bao. Thank you.

Goodbye, Fu Bao!

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE OUR BABY PANDA

We can't forget Fu Bao,
nor can she be forgotten.

I repeat to myself,
we should never forget her.

I'm sure I won't be able to.

We don't forget family members
after they pass away.

Fu Bao is family to us,

so I don't think we'll ever forget her.

Your sister went to China, Hui.

You'll go and meet her someday.

Now, all I have are you guys.

Let's go.

Come on. One, two, one, two.

I can do this now,
but when you get bigger...

Goodness, I don't think I'll be able to.

It was overwhelming.

I had to remain at Panda World
when I was pretty shaken up.

I may not have known what to do

if my family hadn't come to see me.

My wife came with my kids that night,

which helped me to compose myself.

I could tell from the look
in my children's eyes

how much they cared for me.

That was comfort in itself.

I was grateful.

It was a time to comfort each other,

and that helped me get back on my feet.

Hello, thank you.

Hello.

WELCOME, FU BAO

I hope you become famous here too.

I hope many people love you here.

FU BAO, I'M LEAVING YOU HERE,
BUT I'LL COME SEE YOU

HOPE YOU ADJUST, EAT WELL,
AND PLAY ALL YOU WANT

Fu Bao, this is where I want you to live.

See the rapeseed?

It'd be great if Fu Bao lived here.

To me, it seems like
the most suitable place for her to live.

You can see the mountains up here.

I heard we're about 1,400 to 1,700 m
above sea level.

It's a great habitat for pandas.

So in this natural habitat they live in,

Fu Bao will be more at ease.

I saw Fu Bao eating giant bamboo.

I feel relieved to see her

eat a type of bamboo
she's never had before.

The bamboo shoots here
are a different type,

so it seems she's not used to them.

I know it's a difficult favor to ask,

but I really want to see her before I go.

My mother passed away three days ago.

But because it's important
for Fu Bao to adjust here,

I came here instead of
saying my final goodbye to my mother.

So that's my last request.

This is your office, right?

Right.

I called her name a couple of times,
and she recognized my voice.

Even though I was in a quarantine suit,
she knew it was me.

She came over to me
and I gave her a pat and said goodbye.

I know it was a difficult favor to ask,

and I'm very grateful to them
for their generosity.

I should clean up now.

Goodness.

- Mother.
- Hello?

- It's me, Cher-won.
- Oh, okay.

- Who picked up for you?
- Your sister.

- It feels like spring today.
- Really?

- It's windy, but it's lovely out.
- I see.

There are azaleas, forsythias,
and apricot flowers blooming.

I want to go see you,

but I'm leaving for China in two days.

Daegu?

- No, China.
- I see.

- I'll go see you before I leave.
- All right.

- I'll be there tomorrow morning.
- Okay.

Eat well and sleep well today.
See you tomorrow.

All right.

Do you miss your son?

Of course.

- See you tomorrow.
- Okay.

- Take care.
- Okay.

I'll call you again.

- Okay.
- Okay, bye.

Every time I came to this farm,

I'd give my mother a call.

She worked as a farmer

since she was young.

Whenever I asked her about farming,

or about any of the plants I was growing,

you could hear the excitement
in her voice.

I always felt her excitement
over the phone.

But now I have no one to call.

I take out my phone to call her,

but then I remember that she passed away.

Are you doing well there?

- Good morning.
- You're back.

- Welcome.
- How are you?

Goodness.

Rui, Hui. Grampa's back.

I've returned, my babies.

Let's see.

Ai Bao, can you hear me?

Ai Bao.

You're so sleepy.

Rui and Hui, you're so big now.

It's been five days since I left,

but you've gotten so big.

We think of Fu Bao when we see the twins.

We're able to relate to her
and recall our memories of her.

It makes us feel like
Fu Bao is still with us.

So if we didn't have the twins,

Fu Bao's departure
might've been more upsetting for us.

If you come to Panda World
to see the twins,

it could feel like
you're betraying your love for Fu Bao,

and I'm sure it won't be easy.

We might be sad now, but seeing the twins

will remind us of the fond memories
we had with Fu Bao.

Though you may be sad,

I think the only way to overcome it
is to give more love

to the remaining pandas.

Don't eat me.

Eat the bamboo.

Look at this.

She should be eating bamboo like you.

I wonder why she's trying to eat the boot.

Rui, you have to strip the stalk.

Like this.

Got it?

You're going to rip my boot apart.

Hui, give me my boot.

Come on.

Give it.

Come on up here.

Come and get this!

High five, come on!

High five. My foot is bigger than yours.

See how big it is?

Does that feel good? That hurts.

Feels good, right?

Whenever we see Hui or Rui,

they really resemble Fu Bao,
Le Bao, and Ai Bao.

They look so much alike,
so we're reminded that they're a family.

Whenever we miss Fu Bao,
we can just look at the twins.

The twin pandas are like another gift

that Ai Bao and Le Bao gave us.

Amidst

The indifferent people

Passing by

Staring blankly

At that distant pathway

I try to stop

These fleeting moments

Although the world will change so quickly

Some memories will never change

They remain here with us

The first time

I held you in my arms

I close my eyes to remember

That heart-fluttering day

I remain

In the beautiful moments

As if my time

Has stopped there

With Fu Bao's departure,

I think it's time for me to take a break.

Who knows when and how we'll meet again,

but today's video
will be the last on our channel.

The way back home after our farewell

There is a hollow emptiness

That wrenches my heart

Two black eyes

Between the rapeseed

Unspoken words

Leave traces behind

I remain

In the beautiful moments

As if my time

Has stopped there

Tears are streaming down

Let's all flourish here.

There you go.

How pretty.

Very, very pretty.

This looks tasty.

I apologize for saying you look tasty.

This must be some tasty lettuce.

- How can...
- Anyone there?

I heard someone's living in the wild here.

- It's this way!
- There you are.

- It's nice here.
- Hey.

- Great neighborhood.
- Look at this.

What is it?

- You don't know?
- No idea.

- Seriously?
- I'm a city guy.

Come on!

I know this one. It's lettuce.

What's this?

- Siler.
- What's that?

It's used for herbal medicine.

It smells herby.

You're like a panda.

Do I have to go up too?

Of course.

Come up, the view is nice here.

Are these perilla leaves?

No, they're hydrangeas.

Come on up.

Isn't it great?

Remember when Fu Bao
was just a squirming little cub?

She grew up here for four years,

and now she's in China.

It's like the setting sun right now.

Time went by so fast.

Let's take good care of Rui and Hui now.

I just remembered something you said.

When Fu Bao was born,

everyone at the zoo

congratulated you on her successful birth.

Do you remember what you said then?

What did I say?

You said you were 30% done.
What about now?

- I think 99.8% now.
- I see.

I'm about 99.8% done now.

When they decide on a place
for her to settle down in,

and people come to see her,
I think I'll be 100% done.

- Done taking care of her?
- Yes.

You did great.

You too.

Let's do the same with the twins.

Fu Bao, were you sleeping? Are you sleepy?

You sleepyhead.

Fu Bao.

It's your nap time, huh?

"Am I hearing this in a dream?"

"Or am I really hearing this?"

Fu Bao.

You're awake.

Fu Bao.

"Is it really you, Grampa?"

Yes, it's really me.

What do I think love is?

It's treasuring them,

wishing for their happiness
more than mine in whatever I do.

I believe you treasure the ones you love.

I think love is wanting to protect
and take care of them.

It's the same with animals.

I think happiness
comes from the little things.

There's happiness in our everyday lives.

Being able to spend time with colleagues,
family, and pandas,

being able to eat together

and talk about the little things in life

is what I believe happiness is.

Putting "you" before "me,"

and putting "us" before "you."

I've always had this big dream.

Because I work with animals,

I always thought it'd be fun
to apply my experiences to people.

My experiences with wild animals

could lead to topics
on humanities or leadership.

Sharing those stories with others

could be something I can do.

You were like a miracle to me.

And...

just as you made me so happy,

I'll always wish for your happiness.

I'll always remember you.

There will be joy, sorrow,
difficulties, and happiness.

I'll be here watching from afar

because I'm here to protect you.

I love you.

You'll do well. I'll be cheering you on.

I love you, Fu Bao.

The story of us began

Every day with you

Was like a miracle

The warm breeze you brought with you

She's not out yet.

Fu Bao.

Fu Bao, my pretty girl.

You like the white bamboo?

You have to eat the whole thing.

Be careful, it's wet from the rain.

It's slippery.

Hi, Fu Bao.

Fu Bao.

Fu Bao.

Look at you.

How've you been?

Come here, Fu Bao.

Good girl, Fu Bao.

You're such a good girl.

This fairytale-like journey of ours

It will never fade away

It will never be forgotten

You made my heart whole

You've made me smile
Even when I just think about you

Every day was spent loving you

The warm breeze you brought with you

The comfort and laughter and people too

Every day with you was like a miracle

It was a miracle

In each soft, downy fur

Mommy marked her scent

It's quite a sentimental thing

But it tells me how much I'm loved

Never seen you before, where are you from?

My long, funny-looking green friend

Don't mess with your food

Mom answered instead

Grampa's hands always felt so big

Somehow they feel smaller these days

To see the bigger world

I need to grow up so much more

Every day, I get more scared

If I grow up too fast

The fun, amazing things I see now

Might be forgotten

I hate scary things

I hate responsibilities

The Bamboo leaves

That always felt out of reach

Somehow I feel like

I might just touch them

To see the bigger world

I need to grow up so much more

Amidst

The indifferent people

Passing by

Staring blankly

At that distant pathway

I try to stop

These fleeting moments

Although the world will change so quickly

Some memories will never change

They remain here with us

The first time

I held you in my arms

I close my eyes to remember

That heart-fluttering day

I remain

In the beautiful moments

As if my time has stopped there
