The giant pandas "An An" and "Jia Jia" passed away successively. They are both "national treasures" presented by the central government on the second anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The remaining giant pandas in Hong Kong are "Yingying" and "Lele".
Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, predicts that if the SAR government requests it, the central government will be happy to consider sending pandas to Hong Kong again.

Tan Yaozong estimates that the central government will be very willing to consider the above requirements at the time of the 25th anniversary of the handover.
He said that "An An" lived very well in Hong Kong. He was the world's longest-lived giant panda under care, and everyone was very happy, bringing a lot of joy to Hong Kong.
Ocean Park announced this morning with sadness that An An, the world's oldest male giant panda under human care, passed away today at the age of 35, which is equivalent to 105 years old for humans.
