    Thank God. I'm praying for all the pandas to be sent back to China. The people who truly care about them. Lele and Yaya made Chinese people realize that they suffered a lot in the Memphis Zoo. And thanks to all the people who helped them to go back home. ❤❤❤

      They were abused too. Mei Xiang has experienced 18 times electric shocks to have Xiao Qiji. The reason why he's been called " Miracle baby". And also Mei Xiang is 25 years old already. So China was in a rush to get them back, to avoid her being like Yaya and Lele.@@yutonghe7189
