"After getting to know the concept of our design, people from other countries and regions can better understand Chinese culture. If possible, we hope to carry out all 12 Chinese zodiac versions of Bing Dwen Dwen to meet the expectations of the public, which is also a milestone for myself," Lin said.
她说：“在了解了冰墩墩的设计理念后，其他国家和地区的民众可以更好地了解中国文化。如果可能的话，我们希望推出所有十二生肖版本的冰墩墩，以满足大家的期待，这对我自己来说也是一件非常有意义的事情。”
