1999年为庆祝香港回归两周年，中央政府赠送香港特区一对大熊猫——20岁的大熊猫“佳佳”和12岁的大熊猫“安安”，它们从四川卧龙核桃坪基地启程，乘坐专机到香港海洋公园。2016年，38岁的雌性大熊猫“佳佳”因健康状况急剧转差，在香港海洋公园离世，它刷新了两项吉尼斯世界纪录——“迄今为止最长寿的圈养大熊猫”和“最长寿的在世圈养大熊猫”。

12-year-old An An and 20-year-old Jia Jia arrived at Hong Kong Ocean Park by a private plane from Hetaoping base, Wolong County, Sichuan Province as a gift from the Central Government to celebrate the second anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. In 2016, 38-year-old Jia Jia passed away in Ocean Park after her health took a turn for the worse. She got two Guinness World Records—"the oldest giant panda currently living in captivity", and "the oldest giant panda ever living in captivity".

公园表示，大熊猫“安安”健康状况在过去数星期每况愈下，食欲不振，7月17日开始健康状况急剧下滑。一众香港网友们，听到“安安”抱恙的消息后都很担心，纷纷留言为“安安”加油打气。公园方面表示：“海洋公园和渔农自然护理署的兽医在咨询了中国大熊猫保护研究中心后，做出了对‘安安’实施人道安乐死的艰难决定。”

According to Ocean Park, An An's health condition and food intake declined in the last few weeks. On July 17, his health saw a sharp turn for the worse. Having learnt about the news, the Hong Kong netizens were worried and left encouraging messages on social media. "Veterinarians from Ocean Park and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department decided to perform the procedure of humane euthanasia on An An after consulting China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda."

熊猫中心表示，对“安安”的离去很惋惜，我们既要感谢大熊猫“安安”为人们带来的快乐时光，也要感谢海洋公园团队一直以来对“安安”的悉心照顾和在生命最后时刻的陪伴。

China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda expressed condolence for An An’s leave. "We're grateful for the wonderful memories An An left to us, and the Ocean Park‘s good care and company to An An."

据悉，海洋公园将在“安安”生前住所“香港赛马会四川奇珍馆”外设置吊唁册，供游客留言表达自己对这位动物大使的不舍和怀念。

It is reported that the Ocean Park will set a condolence book outside the Hong Kong Jockey Club Sichuan Treasures, where An An had been staying, for the visitors to mourn over their dear friend.
