Perhaps the pigs, in a toss-up. They are dead. The Chus look only halfway there...
...Mr. Chu, whose greatest object of affection since his wife left has been his giant pig Mama, Tong Tong is inspiration, a reason to lift his head out of the slop. To his porcine-eyed son Ming, whose bedroom is decorated with pinups, she's fantasy made flesh. To Wong Chi-keung (Wong You-nam), a wannabe triad, she's the golden hooker who'll make him a pimp.
