The motto of police officers in the United States is "to serve and protect" but Chinese police officer Jiang Xiaojuan went way above the call of duty when helping her fellow citizens affected by the recent 7.9 earthquake.
When Jiang, the mother of a six-month-old, realized there was nothing for hungry babies to eat, she started breastfeeding them herself. At one point the young mother was providing nourishment for nine babies. You can read the story here http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/05/22/china.breastfeed/index.html
Some of the babies Jiang nursed had lost both parents in the quake and are now being cared for in orphanages. She is still nursing two babies, whose mothers managed to survive but stopped producing breast milk due to the traumatic conditions.

There's a huge lump my throat at the difference this woman has made in the lives of so many people. What an amazing woman.
