Passing of an important Panda

Without him, we would not have Hua Mei and her kids.

Shi Shi, Hua Mei’s father, passed away at Guangzhou Zoo at 20:20 on Saturday, 5 July 2008.

I was honoured to have seen him twice – the first time at San Diego Zoo in May 2001 and the second time at Guangzhou Zoo in September 2007.

Rest in peace, dear Shi Shi. Your work on earth is done.
