"Milk Of Human Kindness"


From the Straits Times:

A CHINESE policewoman is contributing to the country's massive earthquake relief effort in a very personal way - by breast-feeding eight babies.

A newspaper in Chengdu, the capital of quake-hit Sichuan province, yesterday devoted a special page to 29-year-old Jiang Xiaojuan, calling her a 'hero' while Web users hailed her as 'the most beautiful mother' in the world.
....

Ms Jiang brushed off a reporter's questions about her deed by saying: 'All mothers love children. Nursing a few babies is no big deal.'


Read the story. It's a lovely thing she's doing. What a woman!

H/T to Doug. He's not simply a barrel of laughs.

  1. What a wonderful act of compassion (and true giving of one's own self). More power to her!

  4. This is the most basic and beautiful act of love and kindness.

    Some people just astonish me.

    I will try to think of her when I'm cynical about the state of humanity.

  5. Eight! That is amazing. And it makes me feel a little more optimistic about the world.
