Recently, Shanghai Wild Zoo posted a message to ask Weibo users which names would they choose for the zoo’s newborn twin pandas. They gave some cute names to choose from. Finally users chose 2 names for the baby pandas. The names Yueyue and Banban were chosen by more than 50% of the voters. Do you know why they chose those names? It’s because in Chinese, “Yueyue“ means “moon“ and “Banban“ means “half”, but when we put the two characters together, they mean “fat“. Do you think those are cute names?

Sometimes, we often read some news that somewhere they have a trouble that they don’t know how do they fix plenty of carp, lobster or crab. Recently the Denmark official account in Weibo posted they have a trouble that they don’t know how to fix the crowd of fresh oysters? When we read those kind of news, we just want to say please send them to us, we can cook it and we like to do this job. It also like a rich man say he don’t know how to spent his money that is too much to a poor man.

We often read some news about carp, lobster or crab overpopulation. Recently Denmark’s official account on Weibo posted that they are having an oyster overpopulation problem and don’t know how to solve it. When we read this kind of news, we just want to say “please send them to us, we can cook them and help you out”. This problem is just like a rich man saying  he doesn’t know what to do with all his money.
