One of the NBC announcers absolutely comes to life when he sees the chubby baby stir from its sleep. "Now that's what I call a rude awakening!" he chortles.
Remember the three migrant workers who rescued a woman from drowning in Qingdao? Another woman was rescued from drowning recently in Nanjing, but under completely different circumstances.
