BEIJING OLYMPIC FUWA...


The 5 "Fuwa" - Beibei is the Fish; Jingjing, the Panda; Huanhuan, the Olympic flame; Yingying, the Tibetan Antelope and Nini, the Swallow.

Then when you read the names together: "Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni" means==> “Welcome to Beijing.”

Have you ever wonder when a cute cute Fuwa evolve to a beautiful gal???



  1. BEI BEI - the fish and water designs are symbols of prosperity and harvest. And so Beibei carries the blessing of prosperity. A fish is also a symbol of surplus in Chinese culture, another measure of a good year and a good life. Among Fuwa, Beibei is known to be gentle and pure. Strong in water sports, she reflects the blue Olympic ring.



2. JING JING - As a national treasure and a protected species, pandas are adored by people everywhere. The lotus designs in Jingjing’s headdress symbolize the lush forest and the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Jingjing was chosen to represent our desire to protect nature’s gifts--and to preserve the beauty of nature for all generations. Jingjing is charmingly naive and optimistic. He is an athlete noted for strength who represents the black Olympic ring.




(**the comic version for JING JING looks very weird...i prefer the cute version 1 ..hehe)



3. HUAN HUAN - child of fire, symbolizing the Olympic Flame and the passion of sport- and passion is the blessing he bestows. Huanhuan stands in the center of Fuwa as the core embodiment of the Olympic spirit. He excels at all the ball games and represents the red Olympic ring.





(** Yee...Ca you change to another pose...???Please...)



4. YING YING - Yingying is fast and agile and can swiftly cover great stretches of land as he races across the earth. A symbol of the vastness of China’s landscape, the antelope carries the blessing of health, the strength of body that comes from harmony with nature.





(*** This one looks great!!!)


5. NI NI - Among Fuwa, Nini is as innocent and joyful as a swallow. She is strong in gymnastics and represents the green Olympic ring.
