The "Fu Shun" baby, who became famous after a fall, can be said to have immortalized his dark history. Not only did he win the top spot among the 2016 babies, but the "upside down" picture also swept the world's best photo titles in international media such as Reuters and Time magazine. However, in the face of the "international Shun" who has become famous for his youth, his mother "Qi Fu" and sister "Fu Lai" are not polite to him.
Manchester City adopts Fushun through public welfare
Protecting pandas for a year
Premier League powerhouse Manchester City has always focused on the Chinese market. During the 2017 Spring Festival, Manchester City players wore specially customized jerseys and wrote "Manchester City celebrates the new year" in Chinese on their chests and "Thank you for your support" on their backs, indicating Manchester City's importance to the Chinese market and fans.
During the Manchester City Trophy Tour Chengdu Station in October 2018, Manchester City legend Paul Dikov and his team visited the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base for the first time. Through the introduction of the base staff, they got to know this 2-year-old giant panda named Fu Shun. After completing the relevant procedures, the club officially adopted this giant panda recently. Manchester City introduced that the adoption of giant pandas this time aims to advocate for the protection of nature, cherish China's national treasure giant pandas, and convey the power of public welfare.
This English Premier League Manchester City club is a public welfare activity. Manchester City donated 100000 RMB to adopt the giant panda Fushun for a year, and invited the iPanda Panda Channel to collect the adoption names of Fu Shun pandas from around the world. As it is a short-term adoption, Fu Shun's nickname will still be retained, but another name will be added. And short-term adoption is relatively simple, Manchester City has already obtained a certificate to adopt Fu Shun.
Song Xuebing, a staff member who collaborated with Manchester City and iPanda Panda Channel to collect names, introduced the origin of Fu Shun's nickname. She said, "Because pandas usually have the same surname as their mothers, and because Fu Shun's mother's name is Qi Fu, and they happen to be twins when they were born, they are called Fu Lai, Fu Shun."
Fu Shun currently lives at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, with her twin sister Fu Lai. Fu Shun's hair is very white and easy to recognize, especially its eye circles are flat, the tail of the eyes is raised, and the mole next to the nose is also very obvious. Fu Shun doesn't like to sleep very much and keeps walking around, appearing energetic.
According to Panda Channel, since the global naming campaign was launched at 18:30 on December 15, 2018, it has received over 680000 views and over 300 people have participated in the naming process. Song Xuebing stated that both panda fans and Manchester City fans are enthusiastic about this event.
She said, "The interesting names in the collection include" Fu Manman ", because" Fu Shun "has a slow temperament, and whether it's eating or playing, he looks like a leisurely Buddha, so the homophonic" Man "character of" Manchester City "can be perfectly integrated.". In addition, "Cheng Cheng" is also very popular, taking inspiration from the combination of Chengdu and Manchester City, highlighting sports and pandas that bring the two cities together. Some netizens have also given names in both Chinese and English, such as Fu Man
Song Xuebing said, "We hope to use the influence of giant pandas to help more people understand China and convey happiness and friendship from China. Naming a cute giant panda is one of the best ways to involve netizens from all over the world and interact with the public. After the naming event, we will continue to follow the growth of the giant panda Fu Shun with Manchester City, spreading love and peace through the charm of pandas and football."
On February 3, 2019, Manchester City officially announced that they would name their adopted giant panda "Cheng Cheng". Guardiola personally selected the number 86 jersey for Cheng Cheng and officially welcomed new members as the head coach!
