The breeder thinks: Not so!

  After being buried for 36 days in the "5·12" Wenchuan earthquake, "Pig Jianqiang" survived. After being bought by the Jianchuan Museum, he has been living a happy life.

Tourists from all over the country visit frequently.

In recent days, a video about "Pig Qiang" estimated to survive the Spring Festival this year has been circulated on the Internet. Master Gong Guocheng, who is responsible for raising "Pig Qiang", said in an interview with reporters on January 11, "The rumors are wrong!" He said, "Pig". "Strong" is too old, and the spirit of winter is worse. The cold weather makes her joints stiffen and affects walking, but the overall condition is good.

  Gong Guocheng introduced that "Pig Strong" is 13 years old this year.

If a pig can live an average of 15 years, it is equivalent to a centenarian.

Now when it is cold, it sleeps most of the time.

Gong Guocheng said that this does not mean that it is about to die. "The habit of pigs is to eat, sleep, and eat. When winter is here, they don’t like to move. Of course, the state of'pigs strong' is not as good as when they were young, but It’s not going to survive the Spring Festival." Gong Guocheng said, "Pig Jianqiang" can now eat about 20 kilograms of pig food a day, and the food intake has not decreased.

He hoped that "Pig Strong" could live another year, a half or even longer, and create another miracle of life.
