For museum owner, it's all about collecting memories


As far removed from adorable cartoon characters like Peppa, Wilbur, Babe or Porky Pig as is possible, Zhu Jianqiang, or "Strong Pig", is a legendary survivor of the quake, and even today, she strikes a chord in hundreds of millions of hearts.
She has been cared for at the cluster for the last 13 years, although now, at the ripe old age of 14 — almost 100 in human years — she needs help to stand up.
When she was dug out of the rubble, Strong Pig immediately became a national symbol of hope.
Incredibly, she had survived for 36 days in the remains of the pigsty owned by Wan Xingming, a farmer in Tuanshan village in the city of Pengzhou in Sichuan by living on little more than charcoal and rainwater.
It was Fan who gave her the nickname Strong Pig, amazed that the young animal had managed to survive such a terrible ordeal.
The cluster adopted her the following month, and since then, millions of visitors have come from far and wide to catch a glimpse of the country's most famous pig.
