"Sheng Yi" and "Yi Yi" were born in 2021 and 2018, respectively. Their parents "Xing Xing" and "Liang Liang" were loaned to Malaysia in 2014, to mark 40 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The first cub for the panda pair was "Nuan Nuan", born on Aug. 18, 2015. It returned home to China in 2018.
