    China and Western countries may have different ideas about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have reached an agreement-ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless. But the truth is that pigs do have some finer qualities (品质). Science long ago proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. A research shows pigs are mentally (精神土地) and socially similar to dogs. 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 cartoon’s, too. Peppa Pig《小猪佩奇》，for example, a television series (连续剧) from the UK that began in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries. The four members in the cartoon’s pig family teach children around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. In China, McDull (麦兜), a young pig who works hard for his dreams even though he fails, has been a popular cartoon character since 2001.
