Wu Juping, a 31-year-old woman from east China's Zhejiang Province, is being hailed as "the most beautiful mother" by Chinese media after she saved a 2-year-old girl who fell from the 10th floor of a residential building in Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang, on July 2.

Wu, who lives in the same neighborhood, was passing by when the incident occurred. She immediately ran toward the building after hearing people's cries for help. She caught the little girl in time, preventing the girl from hitting the ground at full force.

Wu is now in hospital with a broken arm and the little girl is now recovering from her injuries. Wu's heroic action has been forwarded by more than 100,000 Chinese microbloggers.

"I did it out of a mother's instinct. A child is of great importance for the happiness of a whole family. For me, any price was worth paying as long as the child could be saved," said Wu, herself the mother of a 7-month-old baby.
