The port was crowded with the usual stinking mélange of homeless adults, orphaned children, prostitutes, dockworkers and sailors

Ah-HA! Well, there you go. I remember talking to my mom about how the upcoming Chinese New Year will be the year of the rat. I'm a pig, myself, so I just went through my year. I'm not sure if I'm metal or wood or what. I can't find a place to look it up. What kind of pig was 1971?
