China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, they agree that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the expressions 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”. If you search on the Internet for the word “pig”, you will find more idioms. Here is another example. When old people have a dream to get to the top of Qomolangma, other people will laugh at them and say, “Pigs might fly.”

None of these expressions are exactly complimentary (稱贊的).

But the truth is that pigs do have some good qualities. And there’s probably no better time to clear their names than now during the Year of the Pig.

First of all, science proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a passage, pigs are similar to dogs and chimpanzees. They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don't.

There are lovable pig characters in cartoons, too. Peppa pig, for example, a UK cartoon has become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. It has attracted wide attention. In the cartoon’s pig family, they teach children about love, friendship, and the importance of family. And in China, McDull, a piglet (小豬崽 ) works hard toward his dreams even though he is in the face of quite a few failures. 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 celebrate this Chinese New Year - their intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence (純真).
