Born

Like her older sister Fanxing, Langyue is an offspring of Wuwen and Xingya born through natural breeding in the Netherlands. Her name was selected by public vote in the Netherlands: “Lang” refers to the Chinese rendering of Rembrandt's name and also carries associations of hope, brightness, and wisdom, while “Yue,” meaning moon, echoes the “Xing,” or star, in her sister's name.
