When I received an email with the subject of “panda,” I immediately became excited. FedEx will again be flying two giant pandas, our national treasure. The pandas, Huan Huan and Yuan Zi, will be the Chinese culture ambassadors to France. Fortunately, as FedEx employees, we can ask our children to send their best wishes to the pandas through drawings and paintings.
