Shanghainese girl gives birth to black baby, her parents ignore the matter
November 10th, 2009 by Key | Posted in Life Style, News | 60 Comments »
[EASTDAY] November 7, 2009, 5 am in the morning, a 20-year-old girl gave birth to a brown-skinned mixed-race baby in the People’s Liberation Army 411 hospital in Shanghai. It is reported that this girl got pregnant and gave birth to the mixed-race baby due to her lack of judgment while making friends. With no parental care, the girl was not able to induce labor. The hospital lent her a helping hand to help her pull through the difficult time however the girl’s parents heartlessly ignored everything.
Eastday reporter and Shanghai Radio and Television News reporter went to the People’s Liberation Army 411 hospital. In the hospital, Xiao Yan (小嫣) did not have any joy of being a mother, next to her in the baby crib was her black-brown skinned daughter. According to the doctor, baby girl weight 3,200 grams (7 lb and 0.87 oz) when she was born, her health score was 10 out of 10, and she was a Chinese-African mixed baby. Xiao Yan said, in the beginning of this year, her female friend took her to a hotel in Yangpu district. After some drinks which made her unconscious, she had sexual relation with a black man.
Xiao Yan said “When I was playing outside, I got to know a ‘sister’. Then she took me to some Africans home. Those two guys knew a little Chinese, when I first got there they were quite polite, asked me if I wanted anything to eat. After I drank the drinks, in less than one hour I started to feel dizzy, my head was still clear but I already could not walk anymore. After one hour, my brain was no longer clear.”
Xiao Yan told the reporter after she graduated from a vocational school in Yangpu district she worked jobs like hostess and waitress etc. She quit her job after the pregnancy. She had talked to her parents for help, but her parents have already been divorced for 5 years, the mother and the father each formed a new family. The father thought he had an agreement with Xiao Yan’s mother that she should stay with her mother. After that she wondered in the mini-park on Changyang road in Yangpu district, because of the lack of family warmth, Xiao Yan attempted suicide but was rescued by the nice security guard and sent to the hospital. At this time, Xiao Yan could no longer have an abortion, so the hospital lent her the helping hand, and hoping Xiao Yan’s parents can take some responsibility as her parents.
According to the PLA 411 hospital gynecology doctor Cheng Xiaomei (程晓梅), from Xiao Yan’s physical exam to staying in the hospital, to giving birth, and now after the operation, baby’s supplies, daily necessities as well as her meals all were free of charge provided by the hospital. The hospital hoped Xiao Yan’s parents can step up and help their child. The child only made a mistake because she was careless at one point of her life.
Reporter and doctor called Xiao Yan’s father on the phone, when asked “Did you know your daughter is in the hospital giving birth?” the father said “Can you not call this number please?” Then he gave the reporter another phone number.
When dialed the number provided by Xiao Yan’s father, reporter than found out this was Xiao Yan’s step-mother’s number. She said, 20-year-old Xiao Yan should take responsibility for her actions. She also stated that her birth mother should be the one taking care of her problems. Xiao Yan’s step-mother said “We are incapable of managing her things. She is over 18 years old, an adult, anything she does she needs to take full responsibility.”
Reporter than attempted to dial Xiao Yan’s birth mother’s cell phone number, however this number was no longer working.
Currently, the hospital is actively seeking the coordination of the street committees, hoping the girl’s parents can give her love, and let Xiao Yan return to her normal life.

Someone thinks this story is fantastic…
This story was submitted to Hao Hao Report – a collection of China’s best stories and blog posts. If you like this story, be sure to go vote for it….
Wow, what a godawful story. I have no fault with the translation or the selection of the article — both seem right on — but with both the content and writing of the original.
This is the part I find most ridiculous:
“After that she wondered in the mini-park on Changyang road in Yangpu district, because of the lack of family warmth, Xiao Yan attempted suicide but was rescued by the nice security guard and sent to the hospital. At this time, Xiao Yan could no longer have an abortion, so the hospital lent her the helping hand, and hoping Xiao Yan’s parents can take some responsibility as her parents.”
Is this seriously the time frame and sequence of events?
“Helping hand” — isn’t that the hospitals job?
Her parents sound like grade A douchebags but she’s also TWENTY YEARS OLD!
I’m going to bring this rant to a close but this kind of article (the original) is a disaster on every front and I hope everyone involved with it is fired.
Not ridiculous in my opinion. The article mentioned
“from Xiao Yan’s physical exam to staying in the hospital, to giving birth, and now after the operation, baby’s supplies, daily necessities as well as her meals all were free of charge provided by the hospital”
Few thousand RMB donated by the hospital is qualified as a “helping hand” IMHO.
As for the parent part, Chinese parents are supposed to take good care of their children even after they get married. The family bonds are much stronger here in China. I say it’s culture difference. A Chinese may think most western parents are irresponsible in many ways.
Wang, you’re making excuses. A strong family bond is about and has always been about unconditional love and respect. In any culture. This girl is not the only single parent in China. This article makes it seem like it doesnt happen. There are so many babies being sold and stolen over there… the Chinese dont have a monopoly on the “Family”.
As I expected, I can usually see comments attacking China within the first 5 comments. I don’t think this is the only contribution from western medias’ everyday negative reports about China. Because a normal adult should have their own judgment, so many attacking comments can tell one thing that western people are more easily to be brainwashed.
Giving a simple example, Chinese people sometimes see some ridiculous things that some western fathers fuck their own daughters for years. Chinese media like to report such negative things happening in western countries too. If Chinese people are as stupid as western people, then they will consider in US and Europe there are so many young girls being fucked by their fathers everyday.
Another two factors are also important contributors of prejudice of western people.
Homo Sapiens only have vision of high resolution in the fovea. Things at peripheral are not well represented in the brain. That’s why everyone can only see things clearly that are currently being stared at.
People are bombarded with tons of information every moment, but they can only be aware of a limited part of the input. That’s called attention which filters the information and only allow goal-relevant information to enter the consciousness.
Western medias are playing a role of such filtering. They filter any positive news from China, only allowing negative things to pass through. And they are more than filter. They can turn white into black.
Unfortunately, not every western people is willing and rich enough to travel to China and make reasonable statistics on good and bad things happening there.
You are correct, we often see the negative, we miss the positive..our world is painted for us by those wearing very dark sun-glasses. Weather it’s a father fucking his daughter on China’s news or pictures of pipes dumping sludge in a water-way on Western web-sites, the acts are wrong, the reporting is not. We must live in this world together. Education brings health, wealth and peace. Without education, we are polluters and rapers. We are nothing. Read to your children so they may learn. .
I’m not sure how much time you have spent in the “West”, or an English speaking country because your English has several mistakes, these are just assumptions I’m making from your writing style to try and understand your post better.
Anyway, the difference between Chinese and Western media, you see the disgusting things that happen in foreign countries on your news, well in these foreign countries they are reported too. We are all very aware of what is going on in our own country, at least for me in Britain, there isn’t this focus positive Western news in the West, then negative Chinese news in the West that you seem to be suggesting (is this from direct experience of living abroad you came to this conclusion??). The great thing about living in a democratic country is that our news is not filtered. We have access to objective reports however I don’t think the situation is exactly the same in China.
What is true is that these negative stories often attract a lot of attentino because thats what people find interesting. The media is constantly trying to find new stories to shock the public. This story was reported on because they knew it would cause a reaction, which right enough it has. However we cannot judge exactly what happened because it is hard to trust the media in any country.
I doubt the girl was drugged because the media would have picked up on this (it would have made a much more interesting story, no?), it sounds like any case of an unwanted pregnancy they were stupid enough not to use protection and instead of being decent human being and both taking responsibility for the child they are rejecting it. I think the parents of this girl are hugely to blame, they should be guiding and supporting her, she is their child therefor her responsibility. Do not have children if you won’t take responsibility for them!!! This is a problem all over the world, people who should not be parents having children ‘cos their too ignorant.
I’m so happy to hear that a kind Chinese couple have become her adoptive parents and I only with that this was the outcome for more orphans in the world.
I love how in your first paragraph you criticise his English (which is actually pretty good for someone from China) and then your last paragraph/sentance makes no sense, grammatical or otherwise.
All media filters. Which is why you go to a variety of news sources, not just Xinhua, Washington Post or your local daily newpaper.
Drugged or just drunk, this was date rape. I know it’s buhaoting, but it needs to be said. She did not make the choice to have sex, let alone the “choice” to get pregnant. She was stupid, made a mistake, and got in trouble she couldn’t get out of on her own. That her parents have abandoned her, especially in what seems an attempt to spite each other, is most saddening, especially as socially she’s still quite young.
I think this is a good story to circulate, nevertheless–the more young girls are informed about these things, the less it will happen. This is one of the more extreme cases, but it’s still a real one, and shock value aside, has a very good moral.
I forgot to mention, you say that Western people are stupid. I won’t sink to your disgusting level of trying to make some sort of connection between race and intelligence, I will say though, that if you were born black, white, asian or mix race, you would still be the dirt of society.
ezo
I don’t see Ji Meimei saying that western people are stupid anywhere in her post, all I see is your ignorant assumptions and talk of disgrace, I hope you didn’t mention you were in Britian, I hope your not British, so bloody shameful !
Wang, just the fact that this is an acutal news story says it all…LOL! If Lebron James was the daddy, mofos would be looking for a payday and they’d be celebrating, dragons, fireworks and all that!
Probably hundreds if not thousands of cases like this every single day in China. The reason why this is singled out apparantly is that the baby is black (Oh the horror!!). Sounds to me as if the girl if she is telling the truth was dateraped,, I hear rohypnol isn’t hard to get your hands on here,, especially for Africans. Might be a harsh statement but I think it is fairly common knowledge that if you are looking for drugs in the bigger cities look for black guys in the party areas.
Well,, anyway. I kinda hope that the Chinese and some Americans can wake up and realize that it is actually ok to have a child without being married in our day and age. It is a sad story sure but I contribute that mainly to this girl being in trouble already before she got pregnant. Working as a hostess hmm, trying to kill herself suggest mental issues no matter what the situation is but in the end I think her parents should help her out. That’s what having a child is all about,, no matter what mistakes they make one should always forgive and help out out of love. So she had a baby out of wedlock,, big fucking deal.
“I kinda hope that the Chinese and some Americans can wake up and realize that it is actually ok to have a child without being married in our day and age.”
That will destroy the traditional values that Chinese has been living on for thousands of years and the society may collapse thanks to it. And it seems you are looking for excuses for the black male. Did you do it because of his skin color? Sounds pretty hypocritical to me.
“That will destroy the traditional values that Chinese has been living on for thousands of years and the society may collapse thanks to”:
That s the REAL Hypocritical.
Who doesn t know that chinese are “conservative people” only on words? In actions, they are just “human beeings”.
Please dear Chinesemates, Stop hiding your face while you are offering your ass.
Its helpless.
That girl, if she is really 20 years old, it s a pitty for her, coz she behaves in shanghai pubs, most frequented by black skin men, since more than 3 years.
So nobody is the Hell, no body is the Heaven.
Let’us recognize our daily life, and things will go on for Good.
Wish the Best to the new born baby, and hope the new mother will get wisdom after all.
Yes, oh the horror the baby is black. According to you the baby will grow up into a person who can easily sell drugs while speaking Shanghainese!
The society may collaps if some women get children without being married? Are you serious? And no I wasn’t looking for excuses for the black male,, try reading my post again. I even suggested date rape which the article didn’t.
Unimpressed: Irony isn’t your strongest point I assume. I was in fact attacking how many Chinese people are pretty darn racist especially against black people. However anti racist I am I am not denying the fact that there are a certain amount of black Africans, especially Nigerians, supplying drugs in the major Chinese cities. Those people don’t exactly help in changing the way Chinese people feel about blacks in general but (sigh) that doesn’t mean that all black people are worth less.
Nigerians, supplying drugs in the major Chinese cities
Umm…they may sell the drugs but do you actually think they are the ones that IMPORT the drugs into China? Or do you think they are the ones that even, manufacture the drugs? I have a hard time saying “yes” to either of those questions. Drug dealers SOME Nigerians MAY be, they cannot do it without the assistance of local, Chinese people. Period. So instead of pointing the fingers and playing the blame game, you should open your mind and realize that foreigners can’t do anything, especially illegally, without the help of Chinese people.
Fail. Did I write “importing” anywhere? I clearly said “supplying” meaning they are a part of the final link in the distribution chain,,, mainly when it comes to supplying other foreigners. You would have to be pretty stupid to think that the triads would allow black Africans to climb the ranks in the organization.
Everytime I walk downtown china main cities, people who comes to me or to my friends, offering drugs or asking if want sex massage,ect… are not black skins, so can not be Nigerians. Most of time, they look chinese -muslims, but some other times, they look chinese -Hans.
So do not generalise since you don t have real informations.
And all the chinesemates who claim “beeing happy” or getting satisfaction from “LaoWai Boy friends”, are not under drug effects. It s a choice, they made.
Please respect their choice.
Agree with the date rape possibility which was suggested by Xiao Yan in the interview. But then again at this point it’s pretty much basing on her words. It’s pretty sad that she sill doesn’t know who the dad is.
Who knows whether the story the girl tells is true? For all we know the date rape reason may as well be an excuse for her own stupidity. I mean, maybe the father was her boyfriend for a while and he dumped her when she turned out to be pregnant? Maybe there wasn’t any GHB or other drugs in her drink? Who knows what she’s saying is true? Maybe she just wants to save face by saying that she was raped. And why didn’t they even use a condom? With that said, I really feel sorry for her, and I truly hope her daughter will turn into a beautiful human being.
Its sad to hear that both her parents ignore to help their child when she needs them, maybe just because of the baby’s race or even for other unknown reasons but most likely for race. but what about the baby’s Dad? where is he? i hope she remembers him. this kind of situations happens everyday in china and everywhere in the world, girls get pregnant not because their want to or ? it happens but why is it different to this. what if the baby was white,yellow or Red whatever you call it? two or three months ago it was the black shanghainese girl in the contest that made headlines in forums. it seems some people are so sensitive to blacks and that few individual actions are charged by all.
xiao yan, whatever happened it happened and its not time to ask why you did this? seek help from whoever is willing and stay strong. i hope you can be better than some people’s expectation.
Indeed Chinese Netizens are associating this with Lou Jing There are Chinese articels with name like “Shanghainese Girl repeats “Lou Jing” reproduction…”
Do all of you commenters like Chinese food? Because Im about to kung pao those peanut looking teeths out your man-tao frying mouths, this comment is especially directed at JCOLESZ. YES you, you son of a biscuit eater. Shut your weakass up about Nigerians/Black people being innocent or atleast the way you make them sound out to be. If we had to point fingers, ofcourse we gonna point fingers at those dark soy sauce chickens, who the fuck you kidding? Yes that girl was stupid, stupid enough to go to some ninja’s (I would say nigga but some of you would be offended) house and got drugged up. I have lived in China for a few months to know most African/Jamaicans are up to no good out there
These goof troops ain’t doing any international business when they state their reasons to enter China, if you know what the fuck im saying, hell, they probably do not even have a high school diploma. The reason Chinese cities look like African villiages is because China is trying to become a Capitalist country by inviting foreigners. However, Americans/Canadians come and go, while these burnt Oreo’s are littering around. They are tired of eating peanuts wrapped in tree leaves and would go to the extreme to put their mooloomooloo in a Chinese girl. That poor girl was tricked, but still no excuse on her behalf for letting her guard down. I always thought people from big cities are super street smart, that bitch was dumb as a rock. Cant blame her parents for not caring about her. Shit, I bet they wouldnt care about her in the first place even if the baby came out 100% xiao lung bao, now they definitely dont care because its tainted with soy sauce. Also, do you fruit tarts really think she wants the baby? She dont even know that guy, she had no choice but to give birth. So stop criticizing the parents. Everybody is at fault here especially the inconsiderate bastard that nut inside of her.
No choice but to give birth? Did they change the laws to make abortion illegal? She didn’t notice she was pregnant until it was too late?
Kung Pao,
seems you never travelled out far than your “locked brain”.
Go around the world, starting by neares Japan, you will see how many chineses citizen are living abroad, and are adopting “other countries nationality”.
You can find chinese everywhere in this world, carrying every country s passports. But you will never ever see any “laowai”, even after a century of life in china, become a Chinese citizen. So don t show your lack of knowledge, just because of Racism culture, and jealousy deep inside your soul.
Take it easy.
That girl knows what she is doing.
Did you ask yourself, or anyone else, WHO is the other who took her to the Boys flat?
Why she doesn t ask her for help to remember the Boy?
She is protecting herself and wanna just keep the face “MianZi”, as “our culture” reccommends it.
Let Time to Time, and Your eyeswill see clearly…
cheers
Being black and having been to China… There is aa very unrealistic view of things over there… Ignorant
“lack of judgement” – just because its a black child.
What if the child is yellow or white bastard born out of momentary pleasure? Bloody Hypocrite SOBs
lol good point indeed.
Actually that was the title: 女孩交友不慎生下棕黑混血儿 “girl because of lack of judgement in making friends, give birth to brown-black mixed baby” But i think what they are saying “lack of judgement” was the fact she still doesn’t know who the father is, she only knows he was black… Now we know that too, I wonder if she knew that before the baby was born…
Color has no correlation to the unwanted child being born out of wedlock. Be it yellow, black, white or mixed, it is still a bastard. However, racewise, black does not seem to be the color of choice whether one accepts it or not. It is what the society makes it to be regardless of what one righteously wants it to be.
As a foreigner living in China, I have to question several items in this article. Of course, the state media is always 100% accurate (and Western media owned by Corporations with political affiliations are equally “unbiased”) so items like “According to the PLA 411 hospital gynecology doctor Cheng Xiaomei (程晓梅), from Xiao Yan’s physical exam to staying in the hospital, to giving birth, and now after the operation, baby’s supplies, daily necessities as well as her meals all were free of charge provided by the hospital.” could not have been added to make the Chinese Health system seem more caring. In Sweden, Norway, Ireland, UK, France, Germany, Denmark, etc., I can totally see the state covering the bill, but I do have my doubts about here in China. In the US they will still bill you (or your health insurance).
Second, does anyone not see an example of trying to save face? “Yan said, in the beginning of this year, her female friend took her to a hotel in Yangpu district. After some drinks which made her unconscious, she had sexual relation with a black man.” Now I will be the first to admit that there is always the possibility of foul play, but I would first assume that this woman had consensual relations with this man, and then hinted towards the date rape after the fact. We will obviously never know but we should consider the alternatives than to point fingers immediately.
Lastly, for the Chinese posters who have responded that all blacks in China are selling the drugs… you have got to be kidding me. China’s population is roughly 1.3 billion… and how many blacks are in China? Let me guess, they are all pimps, drug dealers and gangsters. That is complete and utter ignorance. Just like every other country, there are plenty of native Chinese who fill these positions so you should not point your finger at the small community of blacks who are presently residing in China.
For the last paragraph, I am simply stating that each country has their own citizens conducting the criminal activities (not blacks, Chinese, Russians, Mongolians, etc.) . I just reread what I wrote and I just wanted to clarify that.
Hi guys I put up a post in the afroshanghai website discussing this girls predicament. It turns out the girl may not be telling the complete truth. And it may not have been a one night stand. http://www.afroshanghai.com/shanghai/index.php?topic=2247.0
Of course not all black people in China are drug dealers, but a lange amount of the drug dealers happens to be black, so “they” say. Or is that just prejudice? I’ve ran into white people in southern China who offered me dama, they got if from Chinese apparently. Anyone who’s been to Sanlitun in Beijing knows whom to turn to when you want to buy dope, a black guy just asked every foreigner passing by. This would make an interesting study.
@eight: how can we know that what you’re stating is true and not made up yourself? can you provide some sort of evidence?
@Paul,
What Eight says, is the TRUTH. I don t know Eight, and I m sure he doesn t know me.
But I could recognize the Girl on TV, on internet, even her face was covered.
We are many person, chinese girls, african girls, shanghainese boys, black boys, … who met the girls in many pubs and shared drinks with her. Some of us, still too close to her (and also to her unnamed girl friend. We know her life and we are surprised about the story she is telling reporters. We can not tell more things, we are “afraid” that some press responsibles get annoyed to find out that “we discover they made that story” just for TV sensation.
She can named 10 or more, of “LaoWai” she met during the last 2 years. She is a smart girl.
If she really lost memory on some points, it s too pity for her.
1.) Girl goes out, meets some fun guys, gets drunk and has sex while blackout.
2.) Girl becomes pregnant, parents tell her to deal with it.
3.) Girl contemplates suicide.
4.) Girl gives birth to a healthy baby, parents still don’t care.
Tell me again why story was deemed worthy of posting here, let alone being broadcast on TV? Slow news day? How is this story any different than what happens to countless girls across the world every day?
If my child had a baby with a nigger, I’d slap her fucking face off too.
I hope you never, EVER have children.
the fact that this is even a story just shows how chinese are racist. i’m not saying they mean harm, but i mean, really, if this had been an unwed mother of a chinese kid, it would not be a news story. even if it was a rape.
also it’s obvious that this “date rape” business is just an excuse she came up with to cover her ass.
and your post just shows how racist you are.
i dont think ‘obvious’ means what you think it means.
that said, the fact that this is news does show how racist chinese society is. not that any foreigner who’s visited china needs told that…
She let out to a friend of mine that “everytime we were together he did not like to use a condom” now does that sound like a one night stand. While she was pregnant she would spend nights in net bars and day time go to friends places. She really had not many people to turn to for help even seeking help from one african friend of mine. I called the hospital were she was admitted and told them I just wanted to extend some support to this girl, on learning I was a foreigner the doctor asked me which country I was from (odd question), it happens to be african. Then the doctor said it’s ok to visit but the mother may be a little afraid to meet me. Gnawsh. Anyway this girl has recieved cash support, a job and even an apartment while still in hospital and what does she do the first day she leaves the hospital…give up the baby for adoption. That act in it self speaks volumes about this girl.
Wow thanks eight for the update, A your serious she is gonna give up the baby for adoption?
She has already given up the baby. http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2009/200911/20091113/article_419339.htm
Chinese bitches are dogs..they will fuck anything that moves
Chinese are racist.
What’s wrong with Afro-mixed baby?
She wouldn’t gave up her baby for adoption if baby was son.
I think I’m gonna start a fake newspaper that isn’t satirical and see if anyone can determine which stories are real and what facts are made up.
That’s whut niggas do – phuck condoms, just knock em up & run!
Reason for chinese girls sleeping with blacks is their large dongs. Chinese men are not real men down there, so chinese girl need black dongs. This is the fault of men and women not to be blamed.
Uncivilized niggers have big dongs, advantage in gang rape situation. Lol
Chinese are just racist. And they are all crooks and cheats. Chinese here in Africa deal in drugs, arms, ivory, fake pharamaceutical products,pimp Chinese girls to Africans, name the criminal activity they are deep into it. I live in Zambia and my police friends tell methe most dangerous criminals here right now are Chinese. They even keep other Chinese as slaves. Just what kind of fucked up country is China ?
We have Chinese here in jail for bribery, for building crap building that collapse, for drug trafficking, for human trafficking, for diamond smuggling, for selling fake goods. the Chinese it seems can do anything to make a buck
Wait a freaking minute… Why no abortion?
Poor baby girl – she’s not going to have an easy life in China.
East Asians generally, be it Chinese, Koreans or Japanese, are repulsed by the blacks. Chinese in other parts of Asia have similarly mindset too.
This wouldn’t be news in Europe or America.
no it wouldn’t be news, only because the jewish media has over the past fifty years, created in the minds of europeans world wide, the idea that we owe the niggers the very skin off our backs to make up for slavery. niggers are poison. they infect everything they touch, and if you chows ever let them into your society the way they infect american society, you are doomed.
dam neeggars leave your baby momma back in the US
I am chinese and i hate niggers
alex is an nigger lover
I am an American Chinese and I am not a black hater. The relationship between this girl and the black man was a consensus and the girl was over 18. It is a civil matter rather than a criminal matter. At worse, the black father has to pay child support till the baby becomes 18. The few bad apples are not a reflection on all the black people though.
