A newspaper in Chengdu, the capital of quake-hit Sichuan Province, devoted a special page to the 29-year-old woman. The newspaper called her a “hero.”
The woman from the quake-ravaged town of Jiangyou has just had a child herself, the Western Urban Daily said.

She is nursing the children of three women who were left homeless by the quake. Those women are extremely sad and are unable to give milk. She’s also breastfeeding five orphans, the report said.
The babies who lost their parents have been put in an orphanage which does not have powdered milk, it said.
