Indeed, they were ugly.
The newborn cubs resembled rats, or perhaps hairless crested dogs that had been scalded with boiling water. In short, anyone seeing them for the first time would never be able to associate these two little clowns with pandas.
It's the same with human babies. Often in the maternity wards of hospitals, people say that the newborns are so beautiful and handsome, just like their parents, but they're basically flat-out lying. Newborns are wrinkled, with all their features squished together. If they actually looked like their parents, it would only be if their dad were Jack Ma…
But indeed, the newborns brought joy to the few people present and to both pandas. The panda parents, having no experience at all, held the cubs in their paws, then carried them in their mouths, making Suming's heart race.
