On May 12, 2008, Wenchuan, Sichuan Province, suddenly shook the mountains, collapsing houses and devastating them, leaving countless people buried under the rubble. In addition to the heroic acts of soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and volunteers from all over the country risking their lives to support Wenchuan, which deserve to be sung, in the earthquake, there is such a pig, its story is also worth remembering, it has even become the spiritual sustenance of those who survived the earthquake, becoming a symbol of the earthquake, it is the strength of the pig.
In April of that year, it was born in the pigsty of a farmer in Pengzhou City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and was later taken to the market to sell, bought by Wan Xingming, who happened to be passing by, and then taken home and raised in the pig pen.
Normally speaking, its pigs will be like other pigs, eating and sleeping every day, waiting until they are white and fat, they are pulled to the slaughterhouse, and then they are sent to the table, ending a short and comfortable life. When it came to the Spring Festival of 2008, the strong owner of the pig decided to kill one to spend the Spring Festival, but its luck was good, and the owner did not choose it but chose its partner. But the sight of his companion being taken away still gave it great fright, and it hid in the corner of the wall and howled with tears in its lungs, and its pig began to be dazed.
In May of that year, the owner decided to kill another pig, at this time the pig has grown strong to more than three hundred pounds, this time, the pig killing knife is about to point at it. The owner went to the village to call the butcher to kill the pig, but after a few trips, the butcher had something to do, and the pig was strong and luckily survived for a few more days.
Life is full of butterfly effects, but a small variable can change a pig's life. At 14:28 on May 12, 2008, because the owner had not yet found the butcher, the pig was still in the pigsty waiting for the arrival of the pig-killing knife. Suddenly the ground shook, the landslide cracked, Wenchuan had an 8.0-magnitude earthquake, the pigsty collapsed, but the god of death temporarily let it go, it was not pressed, after the plank of the pig house was smashed down, it was supported by a brick wall that did not fall half a meter above the ground.
The pig who is crushed under the ruins has a strong desire to survive, it is fighting against fate, and it is unwilling to end the pig's life. Originally, the owner burned a lot of charcoal in the pigsty for heating in the winter, and after the earthquake, it was scattered on the ground, and this carbon actually became a strong life-saving straw for pigs. It also rained after the earthquake, the charcoal was just wet, it could both quench its thirst and fill its hunger, the pig was strong enough to live by eating charcoal, it didn't know how long it could live, maybe it didn't think so much, it just felt that living one more day was a day.
Until one day, when a soldier from a flight academy of the Chengdu Air Force came here to clean up the scene, he found that there were still signs of life here, and it was 36 days since the earthquake. In amazement, they cleaned up the ruins and found that there was a skinny pig underneath, and at this time it had gone from more than three hundred pounds to only more than one hundred pounds. But since then, it no longer has to starve, and the strong pig has not only saved its pig life, but also become a legend in the pig world.
After its incident was reported by the media, it immediately aroused the heated discussion of the people of the whole country, and it also became a net red pig, and it was officially given the name "strong" by humans. However, at this time, the pig is strong in the eyes of its owner, it is still just a pig raised by itself, killing and eating is its fate, and the earthquake makes the Wanxing people's family that is not rich worse, and then raise it fat, made into bacon, is the most real idea of the simple Wang Xingming, the pig strong pig life, as if it has just ushered in the light and fallen into a darkness.
But at this time, its second savior came (if the butcher is its first savior), Fan Jianchuan, director of the Sichuan Jianchuan Museum, after learning about the strong deeds of the pig, decided to buy this brave and tenacious pig and put it in the museum. Finally, after consulting with the owner, Fan Jianchuan bought it for 13,008 yuan and brought it back to the museum. And its owner, with this money to bury its old father, the rest used to treat his wife, it can be said that the pig strong to repay Wang Xingming's "nurturing grace".
After the Jianchuan Museum adopted the pig strong, it specially created a "pig strong home" for it, with an exclusive bedroom and a dining room, and the daily diet is specially dug from the field with corn flour, and there are special breeders to take care of its living.
And all it has to do is bask in the sun every day, sleep and sleep, and then take time to take photos with the tourists who come to see it, and it becomes the star of the stars and the moon. And the admission revenue it brings to the museum can also be regarded as a reward for the curator's nurturing grace.
Time to May 10, 2021, is about to go to the 13th Wenchuan earthquake anniversary, people in memory of the earthquake victims at the same time, a "pig strong into the dying time" news attracted everyone's attention, the original pig strong is actually still alive? To know that at this time it is already 14 years old, which is equivalent to 100 years old for humans, which is really a leader in the pig world.
But at this time, the pig in the lens is already very weak, the body temperature has begun to drop sharply, the pupils have begun to dilate, it is very difficult to stand up, it may end at any time it is full of legendary pig life, whether it can survive the last 512 anniversary has become a hot topic of discussion among the majority of netizens.
On May 12, it was still alive, and it finally survived the 13th Wenchuan earthquake anniversary, and its owners also rushed from their hometown to see it for the last time, and they brought corn and green vegetable leaves from their hometown that the pig's favorite half-year-old favorite to eat. I don't know if the pig still remembers its master, but it still stands up with difficulty and eats a lot of corn and vegetables.
Perhaps the strong life of the pig has little left, after experiencing the ups and downs of the pig life, it will eventually fall on the "pig killing knife" of the years, but its spirit still affects the world, the pig strong in the earthquake in the sad clouds of the news bombardment, to bring everyone the tenacity and hope of life. For those who experienced the Wenchuan earthquake, it is the common memory of everyone, a kind of existence that inspires people to work hard, and a kind of sustenance for deceased relatives.
