THIS baby boy was dumped down a toilet pit in a plastic bag — and SURVIVED.
The lad was fished out of the hole in -30°C after a man noticed his cries.
Li Qingshu was walking past the public loo when he heard screams.
He raised the alarm after realising the sound came from a red bag when he looked down the squat lavatory.
Firefighters had to lift the bag with the baby out using a wooden pole in Nenjiang County, north-east China.
The toddler was rushed to hospital — and has made an amazing recovery since.
Once he is well enough to leave hospital he will be adopted by a local family. It is still unknown who abandoned him.

In a country of 1.3bn people, critics worry that human life has lost its value — a decline hinted at by the shocking story of a two-year-old left to die in the road just last month.
Little Wang Yue wandered away from his parents in a busy market and was then hit by a forklift truck. Fatally wounded, the toddler lay dying as passers-by ignored his plight.
Harrowing CCTV footage of the incident, in Foshan, Guangdong province, sent shockwaves around the world.
