The Final Moment｜Wangwang's Story | A Mother Wreathed in Fire Still Crawled to Her Puppies, Leaving One Last Kiss

Cover

A non-graphic illustration reconstructed from preserved footage: Wangwang lowers her head toward her puppy, while warm stars conceal part of her body.

She had no strength left.

Her tiny paws still tried to pull her a little closer to her puppies.

Both of her ears had been burned until they were brittle.

To keep the flames on her body away from her puppies, she pushed herself up again and again, moving away each time.

Until she could no longer hold herself up.

She slowly drew close and gently licked one of her puppies.

The last thing she did was still an act of love.

Wangwang Remembrance Day | Every June 28

You may choose not to love, but do not abuse. If you are willing, set this day aside for her.

Why we ask you to remember

Remembering is something we can still do for her. As long as someone remembers, she remains with us; each person who remembers gives more strength to the promise: ‘You may choose not to love, but do not abuse.’
