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！
