Zhu Jianqiang, which translates as “strong willed
pig”, was born without her hind legs, but managed to survive, and is now a local
celebrity.
As a
piglet, Zhu Jianqiang had nine strong siblings, and neighbors told her owner it
would be best to just throw her away or put her out of her misery. But farmer
Wang Xihai would hear none of it, and he even refused his wife when she told him
to throw the piglet away. He believes all life should be given the chance to
survive, and Zhu Jianqiang managed to beat all odds.
After
seeing the little piglet fight for her life, Wang Xihai decided to get more
involved, and began training her to walk on her front legs, just a few days
after she was born. After only 30 days, she began walking on her own, and now,
even though she weighs a good 50 kg, Zhu Jianqing walks upside down quite
effortlessly.
Word
about the amazing two-legged pig spread rapidly, and Wang Xihai says his home is
overrun by tourists, every day. “I won’t sell her no matter what the offer is”,
he added.
