Dubbed "the most beautiful nurse" by netizens, Xiao Fang, a nurse working in the Hubei Zhongshan Hospital, touched many Chinese because she bravely saved a stranger's life with artificial respiration in the street of Wuhan, capital city of Hubei Province.

On November 10, Wang Sufen, a woman in Wuhan, suddenly passed out because a piece of steamed bread got stuck in her throat. Xiao, 33, heard people screaming for help and immediately rushed out. Xiao first exercised cardio-respiratory resuscitation for one minute but there was no response. She then gave artificial respiration to Wang three times. Several minutes later, Xiao got the piece of steamed bread out of Wang's throat and Wang's heartbeat and breathing resumed. After being given effective first aid, Wang's life was saved.

Xiao's altruism was recorded by passers-by and uploaded to the Internet, winning applause from countless people in China.

"I just did what a nurse should do under that circumstance," said Xiao. "As a nurse, this is my first instinct. At that time, I didn't think of anything else but saving her life, which is just like what I do when I work."
