Urumqi, China
35 year old Zhang Xiaoyan was 8 months pregnant when China's disastrous earthquake toppled her apartment building, trapping her and her 63 year-old mother beneath 18 feet of rubble. For 50 hours, the two remained buried while rescue workers painstakingly chipped away at the building's ruin, aware that it could completely collapse at any moment. "Even if I didn't make it," said Zhang, "I just wanted my baby to survive."
She got her wish and more, as she and her mother were both pulled safely from the wreckage and today she gave birth to a healthy 7 lb, 4 oz baby girl. Zhang named her Ai, (love) in honor of the many people who helped to rescue her and support her in the last month of her pregnancy.
