As the proverb goes: People want to be famous while pigs are afraid of getting fat.

It is well known to all that the current price of pork in China has hit a record high. Many poor farmers can afford to buy meat, but they really do not want to waste money on it. With such high housing prices, and no cheap ways for medical treatment, school education and transportation, we common people should carry forward the traditional virtue of saving money. However, eating less pork does have its advantages. If the price of pork rises five times while the income remains basically unchanged, none of the Chinese people need to consider losing weight any more. This is another classic case of dialectics. Situations make heroes.
