The pig, known as "Zhu Jianqiang" which means "Strong Pig", shot to fame after being discovered alive beneath rubble, 36 days after the 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan province on May 12, 2008.

The response became a source of national pride as the country's military and charitable organisations rushed to help survivors, and Zhu Jianqiang became a symbol of resilience.

She survived on rainwater and a bag of charcoal during the ordeal and was sold to the Jianchuan Museum -- a cluster of exhibition halls devoted to recent Chinese history -- which agreed to nurture her for the rest of her life as a reminder of the nation overcoming adversity.
