Huan Huan, the big brother among the Five Friendlies, symbolizes the Olympic Flame. As the incarnation of the passion for sports, he is dedicated to spreading passion and enthusiasm as well as the Olympic Spirit -- swifter, higher, and stronger -- to the entire world. Wherever he goes will be overwhelmed with passion and enthusiasm of the 2008 Olympic Games for the world.

Ying Ying, a smart, deft, and galloping Tibetan antelope is from China's vast western regions, spreading the blessings of health to the rest of the world. A rare protected animal special to the Tibetan Plateau, Ying Ying is an embodiment of Green Olympics, a tenet of the Beijing Olympics.

For the decoration of Huan Huan's headgear, the ornamental styles popular in the western regions, such as Tibet and Xinjiang, are incorporated. Cute and agile, Ying Ying is strong at track-and-field competition, representing the yellow Olympic ring.

An envoy from the sky, Ni Ni is a swallow spreading its wings to fly. Designed on the basis of the traditional "shayan (swallow) kites" of Beijing, she is the ambassador of spring and joy, spreading the blessings of "good luck" wherever she flies.

Pure, charmingly na?ve, joyous, and agile, Ni Ni is a gymnastics maestro, representing the green Olympic ring.
