Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Jingjing Pin Fuwa Mascot Mint on Original Card Panda

Description: The Fuwa "good-luck dolls", also known as "Friendlies", were the mascots of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The designs were created by Han Meilin, a famous Chinese artist.The designs were publicly announced by the National Society of Chinese Classic Literature Studies on 11 November 2005 at an event marking the 1000th day before the opening of the games. Jingjing is one of the three male Fuwa who represents the black Olympic ring of Africa. He took his motif from the giant panda and the Song Dynasty lotus-shaped porcelain. His element motifs are the forest and wood. He is honest and optimistic Fuwa who always spreads happiness. As an endangered species, the panda is both a national symbol of China and an international symbol of environmentalism. Jingjing's forest origins also symbolize the harmonious coexistence of humankind and nature. He is an expert at weightlifting, judo, etc. There are five Fuwas: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini. Together, the names form the sentence "Beijing huanying ni," which means "Beijing welcomes you".
