萌！云南大学的松鼠也有微博了

Squirrels have become China’s latest internet celebrities thanks to a Sina Weibo micro blog featuring the animals.

松鼠成为中国新晋的网络“名人”，这要归功于关于松鼠的新浪微博推送。

Jiang Mingli, a sophomore at Yunnan University in Kunming, launched the squirrel micro blog on April 9, and it has already received over a million clicks.

昆明云南大学的大一新生蒋明里于4月9日在新浪上发表了这条关于松鼠的微博，目前该微博已经收到超百万点击量。

For graduates of our university, I squeak for happiness when you are happy, and I squeak for sorrow when you are sad. If you miss your alma mater, come back and feed me, one blog post read.

一条微博写道：“致所有我校的毕业生们，不管你开心还是悲伤的时候我都为你尖叫打call。如果你想念母校了，回母校来喂我吧。”

Jiang said squirrels have been a feature on campus for a long time and are popular with tourists.

蒋同学说松鼠很久以来一直是校园的一大特色，而且很受游客们喜爱。

So I opened the account to let more people get to know the cute animals, he said. "I also thought it would be fun to have something special to represent our university, like an icon."

他说：“所以我注册了这个微博账号好让更多的人了解这些可爱的小动物们，我也觉得让某种特别的事物代表我们学校也是一件有趣的事，就像吉祥物一样。”

The university celebrated its 95th anniversary in April.

Jiang, who is studying archival science, said he also hopes the account will be a way for students and graduates to keep in touch with their alma mater.

I hope the account will be taken care of after my graduation, Jiang said.

Other universities’ icons also crop up on the site. There are Sina Weibo accounts named after the wind at a university in Qingdao, the pigeons of Zhejiang Gongshang University and one that personifies a bell at another institution.

随后其他大学的代表物也陆续出现在网站上。在青岛的一所大学里，有一些以风为主题命名的新浪微博账户，还有浙江工商大学的鸽子图案，另一所学校也以钟作为学校化身。

The wind account, with more than 23,000 followers, posts the Chinese character for hu - the sound of wind - every day to indicate how strong the wind is.

以风命名的账号拥有23000名关注的人，每天的微博都是不同数目的汉字“呼”—风的声音，以表明每天的风力大小。
