Tender moments between caretakers and adorable 2025-born panda cubs were captured in a recent video clip in a panda base in Chengdu City, southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The footage features two playful cubs frolicking while the caretaker gently soothes them, creating an atmosphere of laughter and warmth, filmed at the Star Giant Panda Nursery House.
Now and then, the caretaker pauses their busy tasks to offer water to the cubs in a bowl and lovingly cradles the energetic little ones, clearly showing that their work is not just a job, but a source of immense joy.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is a world-renowned institution for the conservation of giant pandas. The base is famous for its work in protecting and breeding giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wild animal species unique to China, as well as its educational outreach programs. It is now a major tourist attraction.

A Chinese envoy to the United Nations on Monday called on all parties concerned to the Ukraine crisis to uphold peace, dialogue and solidarity to promote a political solution to the crisis. Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, stated at a UN Security Council open meeting that the Ukraine crisis, which has been lasting for nearly four years, is at a critical stage of negotiation and resolution.
The window for negotiations has opened and the dawn of peace lies ahead. However, the ground war continues, and the situation remains complex and severe, according to Sun.
China calls on the relevant parties to follow the principles of no spillover of the war, no escalation of fighting and no fire-stoking by any party, and to earnestly protect civilians and civilian facilities, so as to create conditions for a political solution to the crisis, Sun noted.
China calls on the relevant parties to pull in the same direction, continue to build consensus, properly address each other's security concerns, and reach a comprehensive, lasting, and binding peace agreement as soon as possible to eliminate the root causes of the conflict, Sun said.
China opposes any party using the crisis as an excuse to impose illegal unilateral sanctions and suppress normal economic and trade exchanges, and also opposes taking the crisis as an opportunity to divide the world and create closed and exclusive bloc confrontation, Sun said.
"China's position on the Ukraine issue has been very clear and consistent. We have always adhered to promoting peace talks and pushing for a political solution to the crisis. We have been relentlessly creating conditions and building consensus for peace. We have maintained close communication with Russia, Ukraine, and other parties concerned, actively carried out shuttle diplomacy, and initiated the 'Friends of Peace' group for the Ukraine Crisis. We have continuously voiced our calls for peace, built consensus for peace, and promoted peace efforts," he said.
