Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and
inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic
Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from
China -- to children all over the world.

Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form
an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics
of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan
Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.

Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of
expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is
the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope
and Nini is the Swallow.

When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say
"Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission
of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
