On March 13 evening, a newborn baby was found trapped in the sewer of a public toilet.  Merchants at Building Materials City, Beijing, Chaoyang District, jumped into the septic tank to rescue the baby.  At present, the baby is fine but baby’s parents are not found and the police were looking for them.

Merchant Xiao Huang passed by a public toilet at 7pm the night before yesterday.  He heard a faint crying sound coming from the female toilet, but he did not care as there were many children living there.  However the crying was getting louder, so Xiao Huang and several other merchants who were living nearby tried to look for the crying source.  Very quickly, they confirmed that the crying came from the sewer of the female toilet.  A brave man tried to put his hand into the toilet bowl to reach for the crying source.

“It has hair, it was a baby!”  The man exclaimed and this shocked everyone there.  Suddenly the toilet tank was filled with water and a woman hurried to switch off the valve to prevent the baby choked to death.

The sewer hole was as big as a fist.  The men used pliers and small clubs hoping to pull the child out but they failed.  All the women there immediately stopped them from doing that as they were afraid that will hurt the baby.  A merchant suggested to rescue the baby from the septic tank as the sewer was linked to the tank.  All the merchants rushed out of the toilet straightaway.

22-year-old Xiao He removed the wooden planks that blocked the septic tank.  Without saying any word, Xiao He took off his coat and pants, and threw two Asbestus nets into the septic tank before he jumped in.  He said, “I think it is a losing battle anyway, and maybe I can pull out the kid with my long hand.”  Xiao He did not success at first.  Xiao Li later jumped into the tank as well trying to search the sewer with his hand until he was cut.  Xiao Li did not succeed.  Two merchants joined in subsequently, but the rescue had no progress.  20 minutes later, the baby’s crying became weaker and the women started to cry.  Someone called 119 at this time.

“I think I caught the baby’s umbilical cord!”  Xiao He shouted excitedly.  Everyone held their breath at that moment.  “It was only two minute, but it was like a really long time,”  Xiao He told the reporter.  Xiao He was scared from the moment he touched the baby.  He scared that he would break the umbilical cord accidentally.  When the baby was rescued, he sighed with relief.

The women took over the baby.  The baby was a boy.  The baby was then brought to the house of a merchant, Wu Yan-Hong, who lived near the public toilet.  Wu Yan-Hong wiped the filth and blood on the baby’s body.  She then wrapped her in her daughter’s swaddling clothes and carried her in front of the heater.  The baby slowly regained the body colour.  The baby was sent to Watson Hospital after the ambulance arrived.

After sending the baby away, the merchants started to discuss where the baby came from.  Wu Yan-hong and her husband suddenly remembered they saw a stranger couple appeared at the public toilet around 6pm that day.  Wu’s husband said there was a cry coming from the female toilet at 6pm.  A young man who was wearing black clothes and helmet was sitting on a motorbike outside the toilet.  The man apologized for his relative as he said she was giving birth when they came to use the toilet.

Wu said her husband wanted to call 120, but the man told Wu’s husband that he already called.  Wu did not rest assured, so she wanted to ask two of her best friends to help.  The man left the toilet at this time, and a short fat lady who looked like less than 20-year-old wearing yellow jacket came out from the toilet.  She was carrying a lot of tissue papers with her.  Wu asked her whether the woman who was giving birth was still inside the toilet, and the lady said yes.  When Wu went into the toilet, she found no one.  She rushed out from the toilet but both the man and the lady had disappeared.

The merchants were mad at what the couple did to the baby.  They said the baby was a life, and even if they did not want to feed him, they should not flush him down into the toilet.  The baby was transferred to Hepingli Hospital in accordance with the aid procedure.  The Chaoyang police said that the case was under investigation.

Mr. Zhao who stayed at Jianxin East Road, Jiangbei District accidentally slipped at the toilet yesterday morning.  This led to the tap handle inserted into his left eye socket at least two to three centimetres deep.  He was then sent to Daping Hospital but he could not wait for surgery anymore as the doctors were discussing how to perform the surgery, so he pulled out the tap out by himself.  He was lucky that his irrational act did not cause further harm.  Doctor advised not to take any foreign objects out from the body by themselves without doctor’s help.

Mr. Zhao brought the faucet home as he said it still can be used.
