Life status
Living
Born

For Longxin, motherhood became more than a breeding record. Born in 2000 to Leilei and Panpan, she later raised several cubs of her own. She also entered Hetaoping’s mother-and-cub rewilding program with her daughter Xinyuan, allowing the cub to grow alongside her mother in a setting closer to the wild. Her son Yuanxin later went to South Korea and was renamed Le Bao, extending this family line into China–South Korea giant panda conservation cooperation.
