A delightful video from the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China's Sichuan Province captures two giant pandas, Ji Fu and Chun Yu, playfully wrestling, with one cheekily emerging victorious after a joyful tussle.
Chun Yu, born in August 2022 at the CCRCGP base, is the daughter of Qiao Qiao, a rescued panda from the scenic Siguniang Mountain area in Sichuan.
Ji Fu, also born in August 2022 at the Shenshuping Base of CCRCGP, is the daughter of Cui Cui. At birth, Ji Fu weighed 270.4 grams, higher than the average for newborn panda cubs.
The heartwarming footage was captured on May 31 at the Panda Garden of the Shenshuping Base.
The CCRCGP, a world-renowned institution, is celebrated for its vital work in breeding and conserving giant pandas, one of China's national treasures.

Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2025 sent a clear and consistent message to the world that China will always be a force for peace, stability, and progress.
Xi made strong remarks to this effect on Sept 3, 2025, when the country marked the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
More than one month earlier, on July 7, 2025 -- the 88th anniversary of the start of the entire nation's resistance against Japanese aggression, Xi traveled to the monument square honoring the martyrs of the Hundred-Regiment Campaign, where he called on the young people to carry forward the revolutionary traditions and set ambitious goals.
"Our hope is placed on you and the future belongs to you. I hope each of you will study diligently, strive hard, and be upright and proud Chinese people," he told the youngsters in the crowd.
On Sept 3 this year, China held the commemoration in Chinese capital Beijing.
The commemoration drew 61 foreign heads of state and government, senior representatives of relevant countries, leaders of international organizations, former political leaders, and other dignitaries.
"Today we gather here to solemnly commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. It is an occasion for us to jointly remember history, honor fallen heroes, cherish peace and create a better future," Xi said at the commemoration.
Later, at a reception in the Great Hall of the People, Xi emphasized China's role as a force for peace, stability, and progress.
"Chinese modernization is the modernization of peaceful development. China will always be a force for peace, stability, and progress in the world. We sincerely hope that all countries will learn from history, value peace, and work together to advance world modernization and create a better future for humanity," Xi said.
