Local people in Handan, Hebei province, were glad when they learned of a policewoman who had breast fed an infant who had been rescued from kidnappers.

Yang Lijuan, a policewoman at the Handan public security bureau, was ordered to come to work on July 20, a day on which she had planned to stay at home for maternity leave. From there she was sent to the city's Linzhang county, where police officers had just rescued a baby girl from kidnappers.
