? Meet Chen Xing and Xiao Yue
The selection of Chen Xing and Xiao Yue was based on a rigorous scientific evaluation to ensure the success of this new cooperation phase.
Chen Xing: Born in August 2020, his name means "shining star," symbolizing a pursuit of brightness and progress. He is described as steady and dignified. Some reports also note his robust and outgoing character.
Xiao Yue: Born in September 2020, her name evokes the image of a "pure and gentle moon," reflecting her serene and tranquil temperament. She is also described as docile and rounder in appearance.
✈️ A Smooth Transition to a New Home
Significant preparations were made by both China and Malaysia to ensure the pandas' safe journey and comfortable adaptation to their new environment.
From the Chinese Side: Before departure, the pandas underwent a 30-day quarantine and comprehensive health checks. An experienced team of keepers and veterinarians accompanied them on the chartered flight, bringing their preferred food to ensure dietary continuity.
From the Malaysian Side: Zoo Negara has completed comprehensive upgrades to the panda enclosure to make it safer and better suited to the pandas' needs. The zoo has also cultivated three bamboo species favored by giant pandas to fully meet their dietary requirements.
? A Symbol of Enduring Friendship
The giant panda has long served as an envoy of friendship and peace. This new pair represents a continuation of the successful panda conservation partnership between China and Malaysia that began in 2014.
The previous panda pair, Fu Wa and Feng Yi, stayed in Malaysia for 11 years and successfully raised three cubs, bringing immense joy to the local people. Their return to China in May 2025 paved the way for this new chapter. The arrival of Chen Xing and Xiao Yue has been warmly welcomed in Malaysia, with local fans celebrating them as ambassadors of friendship that strengthen the bond between the two nations.
I hope this detailed overview is helpful. Would you like to know more about the previous panda family, Fu Wa and Feng Yi, or the specific conservation research involved in this program?
