He wakes up at 6 a.m. to check the enclosures (检查围场), and provides food and water for the pandas. In the morning, while the pandas enjoy their outdoor activities, he quickly cleans the enclosures. Sometimes but not often, he also adds food for the pandas at night. For Tan, the pandas are like members of his own family. “You need to be more careful, and change their diets according to their weight and feces (粪便) conditions,” Tan said. “Hua Hua is the smallest panda born in 2020, and is weak (虚弱的).

Many families now live there after leaving old areas. The new village has 450 housing units. There I have learned that the government (政府) helps the people by offering jobs to them so that they can make a living by themselves. Of the 1,331 villagers, 609 now have jobs. ④In Shuiduichong, a traditional Yao ethnic group (瑶族) village, we visited the workshops for making silver ornaments (银饰品). We found the skill had a history of more than 200 years. Besides the traditional use of silver ornaments in Yao culture, people also buy them as gifts. ⑤A set of silver ornaments can be sold for between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan on the market. The making of silver ornaments brings more jobs to the villagers. Shuiduichong now has more than 20 family workshops. ⑥This trip was over.
