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 co...

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃🦇👻🥰 This morning, keepers set up an Halloween Theme in QiJi's room (I am not sure if Tian Tian & Mei Xiang had the same....) Xiao Qi Ji went back to his indoor habitat after enjoyed some snacks outdoor, he saw a cute pumpkin so he was curious... QiJi was very cute licking the pumpkin, there were leaf eater biscuits inside the pumpkin, these are Qi Ji's Halloween candi...

Xiao Qi Ji was curious what was going on next-door, he kept checking the wooden wall and he almost pulled out a piece of wooden panel from the wall. It left a small gap that QiJi might be able to watch the other side. QiJi seemed uneasy and wondered if he got in trouble... 😉🙄🐼😓🙃 QiJi, it's okay!

Oh boy, what a mammas boy he’s turned out to be! 🐼🐼
This is soooo sad. I'm actually sitting here in tears....😢❤🐼
So cute our little king! I remember those days. 😊 I miss them so much!
Oh Yan Yan, what a sweet throwback. That was really some conversation! They were the absolute best family in DC. They r very missed and loved. Thank u. I hope all is well
Mei can never say no her kids. She is beautiful outside as well as inside.
I miss them so very much Yan Yan! They were so precious together
💕😢
I understand just how u feel. I am hoping for a camera innhus new yard too
Thank u so very much Yan Yan. I miss them so much. It was so good to see Tian and Mei and Cheej having a chat. I miss watching them eat or Cheej nursing. I miss seeing Cheej asleep in his favorite spots. Thank u so very much. Such a beautiful family.
@kathy93551 - You are welcome! I miss them everyday since they left. Their everyday routine is still in my mind. Hope we can see their regular updates and panda cam in QiJi's yard in the future.😘🐼🐼🐼💗💜💙💝
Im still at a loss until now.
Yes, it's very hard for us who used to watch them every day.
I can't get used to not opening the panda cam every morning, as I used to for the last 3 yrs, to see what the Tian family is up to. 😒 And I fear you're right Yan Yan, that once their quarantine is over, we might not see or hear updates about Mei and Tian Tian 😔
I hope China will keep us updated on Mei & Tian regularly. I used to turn on my computer first thing every morning since 2015. I miss them so much! 😘🐼🐼🐼🐾🐾🐾💕💕💕
Love this family beary much!❤
hi' yan yan how are you doing the last comment I sent to you I put the information down for our sweet' precious panda's ❤the only thing you will see right now are some I think pink flowers 🌸 but what' I think is hopefully we will be able to see them soon after their quarantine it's almost over we all miss them so much 😭 I still cry and I'm definitely not by myself we're all' in this together thank' you again yan yan for another beautiful 😍 memorable video I watched a video of Pooh' Bear chasing mr. squirrel 🐿️🥔 I thought that' was so adorable in my' heart' 💞 I believe he's probably wandering where pooh' Bear is they' are also quite intelligent animals also 🐼🐼🐼🐾🐾🐾🩷⛰️🪵🌳🌳🪨🫒🫒🍠🥕🍎🍐🫒🫒🫓panda hug's to you yan,yan and' panda hug's to our awesome,amazing, dedicated hardworking Smithsonian Zoo Crew #1always will be 🌷🌺🙎💁👫👬👭👩❤️👨🧑🦰👱🧓🧑🦳🧑🧔👍🤜🤛🫂💟♥️🫡🙋🫶🤗😋💖💞🇱🇷🇨🇳💮🍂🍁💐
Hi @marlenechamp1421 - I am ok, thanks! I miss pooh bear everyday, thinking about what he was doing... I miss watching him playing and rolling, he is a good swimmer (Water Baby - this is what Mariel called😊). I hope he will have a big pool after quarantine so his talent won't be missed. But it conflicts with me that, while I want him to finish his quarantine asap, that means he will no longer see his daddy or sense his mommy close by (like when they were in DC) cos he will be all by himself as his mommy daddy will be in a retiree area. Hopefully we will all get better as time goes on. I wish there was a panda cam for pooh bear so we can keep watching him. Thank you and panda hugs to you! and hope you are feeling better.😘💞💜🐼💗🐼💙🐼💕💕💝
I miss this sweet sweet face so much. Thank you for posting the love….I wish our bears good health and happiness in their new home. It breaks my heart that I didn’t realize how fast the last 3 years have gone by. If I could turn back time I’d spent more time with the Tians! ❤❤❤
Yes, QiJi grew up too fast! I wished I could visit them more in person in the past years 😘🐼🐼🐼🐼💝
I miss him, too. Such a busy little guy! You captured him perfectly enjoying climbing the tree, taking a dip in his indoor pool. I’m thinking all of Mei’s love for her little biscuit is a panda full of confidence and creativity. Whatever is in front of him Becomes lots of fun to play with!😂 As always, thank you for your wonderful videos! Such joy you give to others even though on the inside you might be shedding a few tears!!
Thank you so much! Mei is a great mother to all her cubs. QiJi had her milk up to 2 and a half years old, which made him a very happy baby. I miss them everyday. Just saw their quarantine diary from China a few days ago. Happy to see they are adjusting pretty well. QiJi did not eat wowotou as expected 😂
Such a shame they are solitary creatures. 🐼🐼
I can see XIAO QIJI. Waiting sometning..! He can see his dad or Mom.. Through The window.. ❤ Adorable the whole fam.. Hope we can see Soon.. XIAO Qiji In china. Love you. Baby. 🙋♀️🌏🐼🍁❤️🌎
I miss this handsome miracle panda so very, very much! 😢 He was so silly and happy in his playground.❤❤❤ Now he is in a quarantine crate. (I understand it’s necessary, responsable, and only temporary, but he is probably bored😢). I cant wait for the quarantine to be over and watching exploring his new surroundings! 😊😊😊
Me too! They are not staying in a quarantine crate. The indoor areas are not as big as when they were in DC. They also have an outdoor yard so they can go outside. Will see how their places look after quarantine. I hope QiJi still has a big yard, with lots of toys, a pool, structures and trees for climbing, so he can still show his playfulness and silliness. 🥰🐼🐼🐼🐾🐾🐾🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 💗💜💙
I miss him too😢 I hope and pray all 3 of them are doing well and happy.
Our Jazzy OH Baby has grown ❤❤ him so much very smart still miss mom but he has Joy 😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉
He loved his pools and yard so much! He was the somersaulting king 😁 Thanks for the memories. There is an updated video of our Tian family on Ipanda!! They do seen to be adjusting well. Oh, and it looks promising that we may get pandas again, per the summit meeting!!🤗
You are welcome! Yes, I saw their latest update too, happy to see they are doing well. Hopefully the National Zoo can get pandas again soon. I always wish QiJi or Bei Bei can go back there with their girlfriends 🥰🐼🐼💞
Thank you for posting more Cheej joy! Such a fun Lil Dude in his comfy space! 🤩❤️
My pleasure! 🥰🐼🐼🐼💕💕
I missed to see Xiao Qi Ji . He was so adorable baby Panda 🐼❤
I love him so much forever. I miss him unimaginable🐼❤️❤️❤️
Me too!! 😘
Rolling down the hill 😂😂 I am REALLY gonna miss that! Thank you, Yan Yan! 😊❤❤🐼
You are welcome! Me too! I miss him sooooo much!!!! 😘🐼💜
We ❤ you Cheej!
He was SO happy here.... Can he be as happy in China?
I wish he is happy in China 😘🐼💜

Hi' yan yan how are you doing just' sitting here thinking about our precious pooh' Bear' and beautiful mommy' mei and handsome prince dad tian tian I pray 🙏 everyday that' they' are doing well and' being cared for properly and' treated right you can't help for crying constantly my' eyes 👀 stay red I know all' our's do it's like you can't shake that' heart broken feeling inside 💠 I mean it's a deep we only want what's best' for them like I said before since the United States and' china have such' a indifference that's their problem stop using our precious panda's for your damn political gain it's totally unfair to our sweet' panda's to be honest I don't trust china for real this is my' opinion some or a lot of panda 🐼 fan's may agree with me I'm just' expression how I feel I think' some of not all' Chinese are crazy ever since our panda's left I've been really upset and pissed off because everytime I go to UA-cam I'm starting to see a lot of Chinese channels on my' phone and I red some you can read the comments on your phone 📱 you can push english it was horrible things that' they were saying about they' were happy' that the panda's was back in their country because they' weren't being treated right and' the zoo was abusing them and they were starving yan,yan I was so angry and I mean I was steaming hot and crying my' daughter and husband had to calm me down we all' know that' our sweet' precious panda's had nothing but excellent quality care by the best' nanny's and' the best Dr.Vetenarian their is and' outstanding staff for sure the Smithsonian Zoo Crew is the best their awesome, 😎 amazing, dedicated, hardworkig for all' the other precious animals also they' are #1 in the United States from where I stand let the truth be told thank' you yan,yan,for this sweet' memorable video this was the last night night video 📹 of our sweet' precious beloved pooh' Bear the night before it just' doesn't get any sweeter than that' 🐼🐾🐾💗💌we love you pooh' bear and' beautiful mommy' and' handsome prince dad tian,tian we miss you so much' 🐼🐼🐾🐾🌷🌺🌸 much' love to you yan,yan panda hug's to you🫂💕💐 and' panda hug's to all' of millions and millions of the panda fan's we're all' in this together love y'all 😍👍🤜🤛🙋🫶🤗🇱🇷❤️💟👫👬👬👭👭👭👫
Thanks for this video even though I cried watching it! I remember watching him that day and thinking how happy he seemed! It's hard to imagine we won't get to enjoy more wonderful moments with our "Little Miracle"!! I will miss him every day!!
Im happy Im no the only one crying for them. I miss them so much, specially Xiao Qi Ji. I cry every time I see him ( everyday). Once we get the opportunity to watching through his new panda cam, we will be feeling much better. According to a You Tube video, after our pandas quarantine, we will e able to watch them live Tuesday throu Friday 9 am to 12 pm (their time in China). That will be great give and will ease our pain.
You are welcome! I miss watching him! He always brings us joy! Hope he will have panda cam in China and we are able to see him play and roll....
I saw it from one of the comments in another video, but this is not officially confirmed, I do hope it is true! 😘
❤❤❤❤❤ tq yan yan for this video of mex xiang family
My pleasure! Thank you! 💗🐼🐼🐼💗
I want to thank you on behalf of my mother and I for your dedication over the years posting and sharing images and videos of the pandas. The videos have been delightful and incredibly heartwarming to watch. 💜🐼 💜
You are very welcome! Thank you so much! 💜🐼💗🐼💙🐼💝
I Love Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and Xaio Qi Ji. I miss my panda family so much.😢I hope they are able to adjust and be in good health and happy in China.❤❤❤
Thank you for providing us with so many joyful viewings of our Qi for so long. 謝
You are welcome! I wish I could keep posting their video. I wish they could stay in the National Zoo forever 😘🐼🐼🐼💗💜💙
Thank you for this video. I wish them well in their new journeys.
You are welcome! I wish them well and adapted to their new environment.
I’ve been heartbroken since their departure…watching Xiao Qi Ji on the panda cam was part of my routine! If there is a possibility we could still see at least Xiao Qi Ji on camera, that would be tremendous! Please keep us informed…he was pure joy!
The last day I saw them in person was the Monday before they left. 😢I originally had booked a trip from NYC for the weekend of 10-13, but I heard a couple of news stories saying they will leave BEFORE mid November. I called the zoo, but of course they wouldn't give me a date, they just said come ASAP!!! I listened to them & changed my trip to a week before preciously planned. I am so glad I listened to my gut feeling to change the weekend. Qi Ji was pretty low key that weekend, but I'm sure all the noise (it was SO crowded on Sat/Sun!!!) made him extra concerned as to what to do. Thank you so much for all of your videos, looking at videos of them is still making me cry 😢, but of course they will be well taken care of in their new homes. It will be a big void during my days not seeing their sweet faces & seeing Cheej's silly antics. They truly make any day better by just being them 🐼❤🐼❤🐼❤
Glad you were able to see them before their departure 🐼💜🐼💗🐼💙🐾🐾🐾
So sad I hated to see them go I so hope they will be taken care of and loved as much as we love all three❤
Thank you for this lovely movie- we miss them so much
Thank you.
Thank you so much. It's beautful! I've watched half, I'll watch the second half in a bit. I want to see it clearly and right now I can't through tears. I'm watching it on my big screen TV and it's very special. Gosh I miss the little guy!😂They had no idea how their lives were going to change in a few hours.
Exactly! they did not know what was going on... hope they are adjusting well.... 😘
This is one of my favorite videos. He does look kind of leary about the fence😅
Me too! too many funny things he did in the past three years. He brought us lots of joy! Hope he is doing well in China 😘🐼🐼🐼💝
Such a fast and busy little bear😅
Wonderful. Thanks❤
My pleasure! Thank you! 🧡
Goodbye sweet friends. Hope you are cared for as well as we cared for you. 😞🐼🥲
Thank you for all the videos, Yan Yan! I miss him so much! The National Zoo did a fabulous job taking care of him ❤️
Thanks Erin! Turned on my computer and watched him first thing in the morning. This was my daily routine for years... 😘🐼
@@yanyan9952 I miss seeing him right before my bedtime when he was acting silly and keeping me awake! 🤪🥱
Hi Erin, I still intend to turn on my computer in the morning, but then I realized, the panda cam is off now. They are all gone... I felt sad again.. I am thinking of them everyday. Around this time last year, I was planning my trip to see Bikkie family. And Thanksgiving week is also a good time for me to visit them in person. To visit Bei Bei and Bikkie was my favorite thing in my life. 🥰💝🐼🐼🐼🐼💝
@@yanyan9952 Yes they’re such sweethearts! Often easier to understand than humans 🐼❤️
I love this video, I never got to see Mei, Tian and Qi Ji in-person, but loved them so much, the day they left I cried my eyes out. Thank You for all the videos ❤❤❤❤

Thanks Yan Yan for all you have done for our panda loving community. We all give our best wishes to Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and baby Qi Ji. Hope they will always be happy and healthy ❤
You are welcome! same here, I wish them always be happy and healthy! Hope we can see regular update of Mei & Tian, and live cam of QiJi 😘🐼🐼🐼💝🐾🐾
Thank you for this video Yan Yan. I always tune in daily to watch our little miracle on the Panda cam and when I got up on the 8th I turned on the news to find out they were leaving that day. I immediately logged into the panda cam and Xiao Qi Ji was playing with a ball and eating some bamboo. I'm glad I got to see him one last time before they loaded him in that crate. It makes me cry to think that they did this to Mei, Tian Tian and our little miracle. I felt the same way when they loaded up Tai Shan, Bao Bao and Bei Bei, it is just awful to me. I still think Mei and Tian Tian could have stayed here and lived out their lives at the zoo, while we studied about geriatric pandas. They were happy here and had been for 20 plus years, this was their home. I understand that Xiao Qi Ji has to go back to be part of the breeding program to save pandas, but I still don't like it. I will miss these beautiful animals and all the joy they have brought to us over the years. I wish them all the best and I hope they innately know how much we will always hold them in our hearts.
You are welcome! me too, I tuned in first thing every morning to see our bears, and thisis exactly what I am feeling. Mei & Tian can still have a fantastic retirement life in Washington, DC. They were well cared for and loved by the keepers. The zoo gave them health treatments just like what human seniors received. For QiJi, not sure if they could pair him with a compatible female partner remotely as for the breeding program, but sending him to China at 3 years old sounds too early for me. He loves the place he was born. He loved rolling and playing in his yard, with lots of toys.😘💝🐼👶🏻🐼💕💕💕
