The lady pig was enjoying
sunbaking with her piglets when she heard the
shriek of her lover. She dashed towards the
scene and toppled Mr Xie with her massive
body weight of over 300 kilos.
The compassionate lover was
quickly driven away by the neighbours rushed
to Xie’s rescue and locked up in the pigpen
ever since. But Mr Xie paid a terrible price
for intending to separate a couple on the
Valentine’s Day. He underwent surgery after
suffering several broken ribs and has been
disabled for field work.
As for the boar, he was freed
by his sweetheart, for a short while only.
Later that day he was executed by Mr Xie’s
grandson.
Bad luck for Xie’s neighbour
Luo who is ordered to pay 800 yuans to cover
part of Xie’s medical bill. Mr Luo isn’t
happy about that. 子不教父之过, true, but the sow
isn’t my child and I was never asked to
teach her proper manners, why should I be
punished for her bad behaviour! - He
complained to the journalist who interviewed
him.
When the story spread across
China’s cyberspace, tributes poured in
praising the remarkable love and passion
between two pigs. Below are some of the
lines:
大风起兮云飞扬，母猪舍命救情郎!
天若有情天亦老，猪若有情猪会咬！
桃花潭水深千尺，不及母猪救夫情!
问世间情为何物，直叫猪生死相许?
碧云天，黃叶地，西风紧，北雁南飞，
晓来谁染霜林醉?
总是猪猪泪！
