On the morning of the 23 July a man scavenging garbage cans in China, Anshan discovered a plastic bag that felt soft to the touch–opening the bag, he discovered an abandoned baby covered with blood.

The baby girl less than one day old was sent to the neonatal ward of Anshan Hospital, according to the child’s attending physician Dr Fu, “I saw a premature baby born not 24 hours, her umbilical cord still not broken…bruised, cold body weighing 1.45 kg breathing very weak, she was suffering from a lack of oxygen as it was apparent this baby was in a plastic bag for a long time.” 

Sadly, abandoned babies (especially little girls) are not a rare occurrence in Anshan as in most parts of China due to the nations Obama Endorsed One Child Policy and the fees needed to pay to have a second or third child.
