Who are the Fuwas

China Daily | Updated: 2007-05-17 06:55

The Beijing Olympic Fuwas are five children who form an intimate circle of friends. They embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals: Beibei the Fish, Jingjing the Giant Panda, Yingying the Tibetan Antelope, and Nini the Swallow. The fifth Fuwa Huanhuan represents the Olympic Flame. Together their names read "Beijing Huanying Ni" - Welcome to Beijing. The connotation of "fu" is a wish for good fortune, luck, blessing and happiness, but also high rank (or achievement) and longevity. "Wa" extends this wish to the newborn and young people.
