上善若水。水善利万物而不争，处众人之所恶，故几于道。居善地，心善渊，与善仁，言善信，正善治，事善能，动善时。

A man with the greatest benevolence is like that of water which benefits all things while competes with nothing, and is willing to flow to the lowest point where everyone tries to leave behind.

In so doing he is near the way of Dao.

-- Laotze, Daodejing (《道德经》)

Police woman Jiang Xiaojuan (蒋小娟) working at the disaster relief centre in Jiangyou County (江油县) in Sichuan leaves her 6-month old baby under granny's care and breastfeeds babies who have lost their mommies.

In China's south tip Guizhou, over ten thouands of mothers come to town hall to put their names down as potential adopters of children orphened by quake.

上善若水，水善利万物而不争，此乃谦下之德也；故江海所以能为百谷王者，以其善下之，则能为百谷王。天下莫柔弱于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜，此乃柔德；故柔之胜刚，弱之胜强坚。因其无有，故能入于无之间，由此可知不言之教、无为之益也。

A man with the greatest benevolence is like that of water which benefits all things while competes with nothing; through the virtue of humility it contains all waters and becomes the lord of rivers. In this world, nothing is softer than water, yet nothing can conquer water, and that is the advantage of being soft.

Like the formless water that is able to penetrate and fill everything, a wordless preach can be understood and accepted by everyone.

-- Laotze, Daodejing (《道德经》)
