The Official Mascots (官方吉祥物) of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

        Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration (灵感), the Five Friendlies
(福娃)will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship,
peace and blessings (祝福)from China to children all over the world.
        The Five Friendlies come from four of China's most popular animals: the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan
Antelope (藏羚羊), the Swallow and one from the Olympic Flame (火炬).
       Each of the Friendlies has a name in the traditional way of expressing love for children in China. Beibei is
the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the
Swallow.
        When you put their names together: "Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni", they say "Welcome to Beijing", offering a
warm invitation of the Five Friendlies as young children for the Olympic Games.
        The Five Friendlies also stand for the scenery, the dreams and the aspirations (热情)of people from every
part of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature: the sea, the forest,
the fire, the earth and the sky. What's more, the deep traditional Chinese folk art can be found in all the Five
Friendlies.
        At the heart of their task and through all of their work, the Five Friendlies will try to unite the world in
peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit. In order to help Beijing spread (传播) its theme of 2008 "One
World, One Dream" to every continent, the Five Friendlies show the deep feeling of the Chinese people to reach
out to the world in friendship through the Games. And the Five Friendlies invite every man, woman and child all
