More nobly, her child was under six months old and was still being breastfed at that moment. As a mother, she was great and noble. She left her own child unfed at home, but giving her nourishing milk to the five infants whose moms died in the disaster and another four newborn babies whose mums were traumatized and their milk stopped flowing. She was quite humble. As the media propagated her noble deeds, she was embarrassed by the fuss and said: "I am breast-feeding, so I can feed babies â€¦ This was a small thing, not worth mentioning." "I feel about these kids I fed just like my own. I have a special feeling for them." I am certain that many mothers in the world were touched deeply by Jiang Xiaojuan. After the quake, the whole country is trying to salute the "China's Mother No.1" through various means. The local government was trying to honor her by promoting Jiang Xiaojuan to a higher position. Well, some Chinese netizens had different opions on the promotion. Therefore, the local government delayed the promotion and appointment on June 18, 2008. What are your views on the issue? Should Jiang Xiaojuan be promoted for breastfeeding orphan babies in the earthquake?

GUEST21558	In these kinds of cases we usually honour this kind of behaviour with public ceremony and some kind of civil medal or award if there is such a thing. She should only be promoted in her job on the merits of her abilities in the job. I imagine she will be under closer scrutiny in the future for just such an opportunity to occur if her skills and abilities in her job warrant a promotion.

And there were numerous photos of the quake and the humanity involved that were really heart rendering.
