Earthquake Baby Kept Alive with Protection from Mother’s Body

This is a bittersweet story that has emerged from the Sichuan earthquake tragedy (see video in Chinese).

Shortly thereafter they found the mother’s cellphone, where she had written the text message to her baby that read “My dear baby, if you live, you must remember that I love you.”
