Breastfeeding = Promotion??


You may think this is a joke, but Jiang Xiaojuan, a 30 woman in China, actually received a promotion for breastfeeding. Sure, there is a story behind the headline, but could you even imagine it?

Jiang is a police officer, who is also a mother, who sprung into action after last month's earthquake. To help with the disaster relief work, Jiang breastfed nine babies, earning her the nickname of "the police mum." Due to her "work," Jiang has been awarded numerous titles, including "hero and model police officer" and "excellent member of the Communist Party." Jiang was also appointed to the Communist Party of China Committee of the Jiangyou Public Security Bureau.

Did you ever imagine that breastfeeding would even land a promotion, let alone in China?
