China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs(信仰) about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, somehow(不知怎的) we have the same idea – we agree that pigs are ugly and lazy.

But the truth is that pigs do have some finer qualities. And maybe there’s no better time to clear their names than now, with the end of the Year of the Pig on January 24 this year.

For starters, science long ago proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a research, “pigs are as clever as dogs and chimpanzees.” They like to play. They can remember things for a long time. And they can decide who treat them well and who don’t.

There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig, an English animated (动画的) television series that begin in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and areas. The four members in the cartoon’s pig family teach children from all over the world to get on well with friends. Their daily stories show that family members are the most valuable persons to cherish (珍惜). And in China, the adventures(冒险) of McDull, a piglet who works hard towards his dreams even though he seldom succeeds, have been made into films since 2001. McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures. He has a heart of gold.

Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we say goodbye to the Year of the Pig—their intelligence (智力), cuteness, patience and innocence(无邪).

China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement—that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the likes of “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. None of them are exactly praise.

But truth is that pigs do have some fine qualities. And maybe there’s no better time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival.

For starters, science had proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a paper published last year in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are “mentally and socially similar to dogs and chimpanzees(黑猩猩)”. By training, pigs can learn some skills, such as dancing and swimming. They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they can tell between who treat them well and those who don’t.

There are popular pig characters in cartoons too. In the UK cartoon series Peppa Pig, the four members of the cartoon’s pig family teach children from all over the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China, the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard toward his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been recounted in films since 2001. “People care too much about the immediate results, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeating failure,” said McDull’s creator Brain Tse. “He has a heart of gold.”

Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in heart when we celebrate the New Year—their wisdom, cuteness, patience and bravery.
