On the evening of June 16, 2021, the pig that carries the historical memory of the Wenchuan earthquake walked away.
It was originally a "three-hundred-kilogram pig that should be slaughtered" in a Chengdu farmhouse, but it was buried for 36 days in the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, but it stubbornly survived and lost more than 100 kilograms.
Since then, this pig, which has been given special significance, was bought by the Jianchuan Museum for 13,800 yuan. For 13 years, it has attracted the attention of tourists from all over the world, and its movements have been repeatedly reported. (The Paper, June 18, 2021)
"Pig Strong" went, under the attention of many people across the country, ending its glorious life. Its life seems to be short, but compared with other pigs, its life is full of magical colors, and it also allows it to live to truly achieve the value that ordinary pigs cannot get. Now that it is gone, it has died naturally, its flesh has fallen, and the spirit given to it by the vast number of netizens has always existed.
If the pig is said to be strong in existence, what the author wants to say is that although it has a strong life, it can survive after being buried alive for 36 days in the earthquake, which is a miracle, but without the earthquake spirit given to it by the majority of the people, without the meticulous care of the local government, it may have already become the meat on the board, what is the difference between it and ordinary pigs? Therefore, the pig should be more grateful to the people who care for and love it, and the local government.
The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan was quite severe, and this pig was really strong, and it was quite lucky to survive 36 days of burial alive. It is a miracle that it survived, and the selfless care of the local people and local governments has made it create the peak of pig life. The local people and local governments feel that its survival is quite meaningful, a symbol of tenacious life, so they take special care of it, not only with special breeding, but also to provide it with a spacious and comfortable living space. Even when life is today, when life will naturally come to an end, many people in local governments have provided hospice care for it. A pig, from misfortune, to embark on a happy pig life, people should thank the pig strong to give human beings the spirit of tenacious survival, and the pig strong should be grateful to the local people and the government for its warm care.
Today the pig is strong gone, some people suggest making specimens, so that future generations can remember, in the process of earthquake resistance, animals also have a tenacious pursuit of life, but let the author seem that this is really unnecessary, Wenchuan earthquake, from the local government to the central government have done a lot of work, whether it is pain, whether it is memory, the people of Sichuan will not forget, the people of the whole country will not forget. If the pig is strong and truly thoughtful, it should be thanked that it was born in China, born in China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and if in other countries, no matter how tenacious its life is, it may have already been brought to the table by humans, can it achieve natural death? It is not that humanity should be thankful to remember it, but that it should be grateful to the people, to the government, so that its life can achieve more than a pig itself should have.
The pig is strong and gone, or let it return calmly, the dust returns to the dust, maybe it has a better home. Let everything return to calm, the significance and spirit of the Wenchuan earthquake will not be forgotten by the people of Sichuan and the people of the whole country. (Miao Fengjun)
