旅马大熊猫“兴兴”和“靓靓”喜迎18岁生日，当地民众：无法被取代
8月23日，同年同月同日生的大熊猫“兴兴”（又名“福娃”）和“靓靓”（又名“凤仪”），在马来西亚国家动物园迎来了18岁生日。这对旅马大熊猫凭借软萌可爱的样子，十年来深受马来西亚公众喜爱，它们吃得惯马来西亚产的竹子，也“听得懂”几句马来语，已然成为马中两国友谊的象征。
“兴兴”和“靓靓”于2008年被选中送往北京动物园展出，为北京奥运会助威。2014年，在中马两国建交40周年之际，它们作为中国人民的友好使者，正式开启10年“驻外”生涯，并被马来西亚人民投票更名为“兴兴”和“靓靓”。
为了帮助这对大熊猫尽快适应异国他乡的环境，马来西亚国家动物园提前派饲养员到中国四川，专门学习如何照顾大熊猫。在饲养团队的悉心照料下，“兴兴”和“靓靓”不仅很快适应了新环境，更在2015年8月生下了第一只幼崽“暖暖”，创下了中国旅居国外大熊猫自然交配生产的最快纪录。随后，它们又分别在2018年和2021年诞下“谊谊”和“升谊”两只幼崽。
“暖暖”、“谊谊”和“升谊”三只在马来西亚出生的大熊猫幼崽，在满两周岁后都已按照协议被送返中国。尽管如此，它们依然是马中两国友谊的见证，也为马来西亚国家动物园带来了巨大的经济效益和文化影响力。
“兴兴”和“靓靓”的租期十年，2024年已是第十个年头。马来西亚总理安瓦尔曾表示，希望能延长期限，让两只大熊猫继续留在马来西亚。当地民众也纷纷表达了对这对大熊猫的喜爱和不舍，认为它们“无法被取代”。
“兴兴”和“靓靓”不仅是可爱的动物，更是马中两国友谊的象征。它们的存在，不仅为马来西亚人民带来了欢乐，也增进了两国人民之间的相互了解和友谊。相信在未来的日子里，这对旅马大熊猫将继续为两国人民带来更多美好的回忆。

On August 23rd, Xing Xing (also known as Fuwa) and Liang Liang (also known asFengyi), two giant pandas born on the same day of the same month of the same year, celebrated their 18th birthday at the National Zoo ofMalaysia. This panda couple has captured the hearts of Malaysians over the past decade with their adorable demeanor. They have adapted well to the local diet, even enjoying Malaysian-grown bamboo, and have learned to understand a few Malay phrases, solidifying their status as a symbol of friendship between China and Malaysia.
Xing Xing and Liang Liang were chosen in 2008 to be exhibited at the Beijing Zoo, contributing to the excitement surrounding the Beijing Olympics. In 2014, marking the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, they embarked on a 10-year “overseas mission” as goodwill ambassadors of the Chinese people. They were renamed “Xing Xing” and “Liang Liang” by popular vote among Malaysians.
To ensure a smoothtransition to their new home, the National Zoo of Malaysia sent keepers to Sichuan, China, to learn how to care for giant pandas. Under the dedicated care of the zoo’s team, Xing Xing and Liang Liang not only adapted quickly to their new environment but also welcomed their first cub, Nuan Nuan, inAugust 2015, setting a record for the fastest natural breeding of Chinese giant pandas living abroad. They subsequently gave birth to two more cubs, Yi Yi in 2018 and Sheng Yi in 2021.
Nuan Nuan, Yi Yi, and Sheng Yi, the threepanda cubs born in Malaysia, were returned to China after reaching the age of two, as per the agreement. Nevertheless, they remain a testament to the friendship between China and Malaysia, bringing significant economic benefits and cultural influence to the National Zoo of Malaysia.
The 10-year lease for Xing Xing and Liang Liangis set to expire in 2024. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his hope to extend their stay in Malaysia. Local residents have also voiced their love and reluctance to see the pandas leave, deeming them “irreplaceable.”
Xing Xing and Liang Liang are not just adorable animals; they are asymbol of friendship between China and Malaysia. Their presence has brought joy to the Malaysian people and fostered mutual understanding and friendship between the two nations. It is believed that this panda couple will continue to create cherished memories for the people of both countries in the years to come.
