Why are people in San Diego in California, the U.S., so excited??
The answer is adorable. Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, two cuddly pandas from the Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center in southwestern China, arrived at the San Diego Zoo on June 27.
And that's not all. With the arrival of the pair, a 10-year international giant panda conservation cooperation program starts between China and the U.S.
As conservation initiatives continue, more pandas are scheduled to reside in Spain, Australia and Austria besides the U.S.
The continued collaborative research is crucial for the survival of the species. It also demonstrates China's commitment to advancing panda research and protection to ensure a sustainable future for the vulnerable animals.
?The Mid-Autumn Festival, one of China's most cherished traditional holidays, is deeply rooted in the country's cultural heritage. Known for the rich poetry, it has inspired and customs, the stories of the festival center around the moon, which symbolizes reunion, harmony, and togetherness.
?William N. Brown has called China home for over 30 years. "I'm fortunate to live in a country as beautiful as China, in the vibrant city of Xiamen, and at a university as remarkable as Xiamen University," the 68-year-old American professor at Xiamen University said.
