The inspiring story of Zhu Jianqiang, the two-legged walking
pig, touched everyone's hearts this week. Rock the Week is
honouring the brave and 'strong willed' piggy with her very own
playlist. .
Zhu Jianqiang - Strong-Willed Pig in English - has caused quite
the stir since reports from Asia told the story of this amazing
Pig.
Now an unlikely tourist attraction in China, This Little Piggy is just lucky to be
alive.Her owner, Mr Xihai, confessed that his wife told him to
Kill The Pig, because Zhu
Jianqiang was born with only two legs.
Luckily though, Mr Xihai ignored his wife and in a defiant
display no doubt said 'right little piglet I’m going to
Fix You.'
Against All Odds Mr
Xihai taught his lame pig to walk. Zhu Jianqiang can now fully
enjoy life.
Where she once relied on her owner, she can now say, ‘No! I
don’t need your help, thank you, I’ll Stand On My Own Two Feet.’
Strong-Willed pig should be called Miracle pig after her defiant
displays. Her mental strength and desire to say ‘I want to walk and
I’m going to do it My
Way,’ is something we could all aspire to.
In her hour of need, the helpless pig must have thought ‘please,
Stand By Me’ and Mr Xihai
dually obliged.
The bond between pig and man is now stronger than ever, no
wonder they say the messy farm animal is Man’s Best Friend. No that’s not right
is it?
However, in this story I’m sure Mr Xihai has muttered the word ‘
You're My Best Friend’ to
his piggy and the feeling is almost certainly mutual.
