She owns different nicknames, including "Hua Hua" and "Guo Lai", “Hua Hua” means “Flower” for its beautiful appearance and “Guo Lai” means “coming” in Chinese, because when panda keepers ask her to come back for food, she thinks “coming” is her name and will come to enjoy the food. Interesting name, as herself is, which also attracts many attentions of netizens.
Hua Hua was born on July 4, 2020, together with her twin sister He Ye, in the Moon Delivery Room of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Sichuan, China. Her mother is Cheng Gong, known as the "Princess Mysophobia", and her father is named Mei Lan, retured from USA. From this beautiful family, Hua Hua is absolutely a pretty girl in panda world.
Why He Hua panda is so pupluar in the panda world?
Firstly, compared with her peers, Hua Hua is shorter and more chubby, slower in movement, and not good at climbing trees, which makes herself more funny and cuter when moving.
Secondly, Hua Hua is so gentle and peaceful that be loved by people. The appearance is not the only reason we keep our eyes glued to the Hehua panda's video. In fact, she has been loved by people for her "silly" and peaceful nature, as well as her adorable and beautiful appearance. Smaller size, slower movement and bad at climbing trees highlight her peaceful and gentle personality.
More important, people's pity love for small Hua Hua, is also one of the reasons. The bamboo shoots she just peeled off in her hand are always snatched away by other pandas, and sometimes she may be beat up by pandas who passed by. The bullied He Hua just looks at these little friends in confusion but no resists, which causes people's great pity.
