After the horrific earthquake that shook China on May 12th 2008, all the pandas at Wolong Panda Research Centre were moved out, as the Centre was destroyed.

Two of the refugees were Wei Wei and Xi Wang were sent to Wuhan Zoo, who took them in at short notice and have been looking after them since then. It has now been decided that as a thank you for coming to the aid of Wolong Research Centre, the two will now permanently live there.

The presentation ceremony is due to take place on May 12th 2010, the second anniversary of the earthquake.
