The tiny boy was found lodged in a sewage pipe — in a block of apartments in Jinhua, Zhejiang province — on Saturday afternoon after neighbors reported hearing crying. His placenta was still attached.
Firefighters sawed out an L-shaped section wide on Saturday afternoon after neighbors reported hearing crying. The baby was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors cut around him to pull out the abandoned infant.
The 2-day-old child — named Baby No. 59 from the number of his hospital incubator — was reported in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
A video of the two-hour rescue was broadcast widely on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday. News of the ordeal prompted an outpouring from strangers who came to the hospital with diapers, baby clothes, powdered milk and offers to adopt the child.
Despites the offers to adopt Baby No. 59, a doctor at thehospital said the boy would be handed over to social services if his parents do not claim him, Zhejiang News said.
Police are treating the case as an attempted homicide, and are looking for the mother and anyone else involvedin the incident.
The landlord of the building in Pujiang County told Zhejiang News that it was unlikely the birth took place in the toilet room because there was no evidence of blood and she was not aware of any recent pregnancies among her tenants.

Footnote:
I may not believe in destiny, but I know this child is destined to be a great person in the future. That's the only sensible explanation for his survival.
This is plain wickedness. Why not give him up for adoption or better still drop the child somewhere safe like a church or Budha temple where it can be picked up. I hope the perpetrators are caught.
