GUANGZHOU, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- An'an and Kangkang (respectively meaning safe and healthy in Chinese) are twin brothers of the South China tiger born in June 2020. They "celebrated" the Lantern Festival on Thursday by eating meatballs instead of glutinous rice flour balls typically consumed by people for this festival, which marks the end of the Lunar New Year holiday.
