Have to say it----there is something special about the Chinese people's ability to endure... a level of strength that is perhaps unique. Think we can often relate to this story in the stories of our own Chinese families..

Even the Chinese pigs are survivors;

BEIJING (AFP) - A pig that survived for 36 days buried beneath rubble in quake-hit southwest China on a diet of charcoal has been hailed as a symbol of the will to stay alive, state press reported Monday.

 

The pig, who weighed nearly 150 kilograms (330 pounds) at the time of the magnitude-8.0 earthquake on May 12, had lost two thirds of its weight when found last week, the Chongqing Evening Post said.
