She's a hero! Salma Hayek did it also, she breastfeed a child because the child's mother is not producing milk anymore.

As a mom I salute the officer. I know such people are rare in today's otherwise selfish and busy lifestyle.

Absolutely a gift that you posted this, Dr. E~ thank you. I remember a friend shyly asking if I would try to nurse her daughter- the same age as mine at three months- so she could determine if low milk supply was making the child cranky. I didn't hesitate a moment, as my friend would not have hesitated with me. Jiang is tied in to the deep wisdom.

Dear Lynx: Thank you for your thoughtful point. I join you in hoping she is given plenty of food and water. I'd heard from one of my contacts on mission, that the orphanages have no dry milk powder/formula for the babies who've lost their mothers or whose mom's are injured. That there are many nursing mothers helping by feeding more than their own child.

That's quite wondrous that Spain's biggest newsite put up the story about Jiang. Imagine if the NYT would do so. Front page/ top of the fold.

I hadn't seen the comments at Spain's news-site. Just lived long enough to know there are lots of different kinds of reactions to poignant matters. Thanks Lynx.

This story was put up on Spain's biggest news-site yesterday. It's amazingly touching, though I hope the woman is being given some extra nourishment of her own because with all those babies, she must be getting a lot taken out of her.

Jack, it's great that you don't feel that way, but I assure you that many men do. On the news site where this story went up, there were comments to the effect, though thanks to the joy of down-voting, they soon became invisible.

dear T-Steel, your note makes me happy. Thank you. How beautiful for you and your love. And by the way, how's the writing going? Miss your articles here.

Dear Jack 666666, Welcome, and I know that words on the screen cant always convey tone. There's no denigration. I was gently teasing in the softest kind of way. Thank you for your comment so I could clarify.

The coda was unnecessary. We laud her. No need to denigrate us.

WOW! As a father, I salute, applaud, and admire Officer Jiang Xiaojuan.

It’s a mystery women don’t often speak of publicly, what it’s like to nourish another human being… or many… from one’s own blood and bones. It is, one of the greatest honors in the world.

My wife spoke much about that point when she was breastfeeding our three progeny. She said the feeling was so deep she just couldn't describe it fully. All I know is that she looked so serene and happy. WOW again.
