A superstar shows up and the fans start screaming. It's not a celebrity's meet-and-greet session at a concert, but rather the birthday bash of a giant panda in Taiwan. On Friday, giant panda Yuanzai celebrated its fifth birthday at the Taipei Zoo, drawing large crowds eager to catch a glimpse of the chubby bear. Yuanzai is the baby of two giant pandas, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, sent to Taiwan from the Chinese mainland in 2008.

It played around, and at one point, climbed up a platform and started to play with the posters on the ceiling, generating quite a buzz among the visitors. It is so cute! said a visitor surnamed Chung. I came here early to see Yuanzai. Giant panda Yuanzai celebrates its fifth birthday at the Taipei Zoo, July 6, 2018.

I have been following the pandas' news since they arrived in Taiwan, Chung said. We even formed a fanclub on Facebook, which updates everything about the pandas. Another visitor surnamed Li brought his daughter to the zoo to see Yuanzai. We heard in newspapers and on TV about Yuanzai's birthday, Li said. My daughter adores pandas. Wang Yi-min, with Taipei Zoo, said they frequently invited experts from the mainland to help with the protection and insemination of the pandas. It is an honor to be part of the protection efforts of giant pandas, she said. We hope to have more cooperation with experts from the mainland to help protect the animals. flash drive wristbandprinted braceletsred wristbandcustom silicone bandssilicone rubber bandshow to make rubber braceletscustomise fidget spinner

[Photo/Xinhua] BEIJING - Public hospitals in China have reined in the unreasonable pricing of medical care, an official of the National Health Commission said on Friday. All public hospitals across the country joined the comprehensive reform program in 2017 to end 60-odd years of drug price markups, Wang Hesheng, deputy director of the commission, said at a State Council press conference on implementing major policies. Wang said the General Office of the State Council praised 38 localities, including Xicheng District in Beijing and Sanming City of east China's Fujian Province, for their good practices in the comprehensive reform of public hospitals. Sanming City increased fiscal input to public hospitals from 140 million yuan ($22 million) in 2011 to 460 million yuan in 2017. The hospitals in this city have made medical care prices more rational, Wang said. Health care authorities will encourage public hospitals to participate in the establishment of medical treatment partnerships and guide medical resources to grassroots health institutions to better serve the public, Wang said.
