The leader of the Luoyang Family Search Group realized his dream in Shanghai: he had found relatives for more than a dozen families, and today he finally found his mother

On January 6, 2022, in Jiading, Shanghai, Wang Jinhu returned to his relatives as he wished, and shouted out the "mother" who had been waiting for nearly 60 years.

The time is reversed to the beginning of April 2009. Wang Jinhu, who was 46 years old at the time, somehow talked about his own life in a small talk with an acquaintance. At that time, Wang Jinhu had learned from his adoptive parents that in the early 1960s, under the influence of the current situation, some families could not continue to raise their young children, so they had to send them away with tears, and he was one of these little lives. Although Wang Jinhu also had the idea of finding his own parents after learning the truth, there were few clues in the sea of people, and even if he had the heart, he did not know where to start.

Unexpectedly, in this casual chat, he not only knew his name "Mao Fan" before he was adopted, but also learned that he came from Jiading District of Shanghai, a thousand kilometers away. Therefore, during the "May Day" Golden Week of the same year, Wang Jinhu went to about 18 fellow villagers who had similar experiences with him, and embarked on the first trip to The City of Xuancheng to find relatives.

With the assistance of the Jiacheng Police Station of the Jiading Public Security Bureau, Wang Jinhu found information related to "Mao Fan" by consulting the household registration file, which clearly recorded the date on which the "Mao Fan" household registration was moved out in that year, which coincided with the time he knew to move into Luoyang, Henan, and further confirmed that wang Jinhu was once born in Jiading. Among the companions, some people also found the original file that matched their current household registration, and a sense of joy that was getting closer and closer to the truth spread in this small search team.

In the next few days, under the rush of everyone, a "gathering to recognize relatives" was opened at the Nearby Police Station's Bacheng Experimental Primary School. Limited by the speed of information dissemination at that time, not many families came to the rally to look for lost relatives, but there were also two families who vaguely identified the two families through identifying childhood photos and some vague memories, and vaguely recognized that the two may be their own children who were taken away. Although there is no Wang Jinhu's family, he is still happy for his companions and is full of expectations that he can find his family.

However, the analysis of biological samples compared with the feedback information that failed, so that the family search team returned to Luoyang with regret. But fortunately, everyone did not give up on this, Wang Jinhu also continued to cheer for his companions, the next year's "May Day" Golden Week, they once again assembled, came to this former hometown, and then, the third year, the fourth year... Their family search journey lasted for twelve years, and the number of people slowly expanded from the initial 18 to more than 300 people, and wang Jinhu, the initiator of the year, has now become the leader of this family search group.

On June 30, 2021, a report about the search for relatives appeared on the platform of shencheng's major media: At the Jiading branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, Wang Gentao, a 92-year-old veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, was reunited with his daughter, Ms. Lu Ruijuan, who had been separated for 57 years. "It was finally confirmed that Wang Gentao was Lu Ruijuan's biological father." Hearing these words, the old man Wang Gentao, who had passed his old age, smiled and squinted, hugged his little daughter who was already two sideburns, and gently slapped her daughter's back with both hands, as if the person in front of her was still a baby in swaddling. Looking at this scene in front of him, Wang Jinhu also had a smile on his face.

In his memory, in 2009, the first time he came to Jiading to hold a "confession gathering", when the two families suspected of finding relatives were the family of the elderly Wang Gentao, but unfortunately, the bad news that came really made the old man feel uncomfortable for a long time. For many years, Wang Jinhu has been in contact with the old man's family, and this time there have been new clues after several turns, and Wang Jinhu, as the leader of the family search regiment, naturally does not dare to be sloppy.

On the one hand, he contacted Ms. Lu, who had moved to Xiamen, to inquire in detail about all the details of her life, and on the other hand, he actively communicated with the Jiading police to inquire about the latest requirements for the analysis and comparison of biological samples. The police officers of the Criminal Division of the Jiading Public Security Bureau, who learned of the relevant situation, also began to help run for this reunion that had been separated by more than fifty years at the same time. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the comparison of biological samples quickly came to a conclusion, and this time the results did not disappoint the old man Wang Gentao, and he also heard the "father" who had been absent for 57 years.

It was also at the scene of this recognition ceremony that Wang Jinhu, as the head of the Henan Luoyang Family Searching Group, on behalf of the non-governmental organization of the Family Search Group, reached a joint construction agreement with the Jiading police to provide help to people who have the same needs as Wang Gentao's father and daughter who have family search needs, and pushed the "reunion action" of the public security organs to the depth. And that day Wang Jinhu could not have imagined that this coincidental connection would actually send him a windfall half a year later.

From 2009 to 2021, Wang Jinhu and his family search group reunited more than a dozen families who had been separated for many years. Watching one child after another who has been away from home return to the arms of their parents, watching one father and mother hear the "father" and "mother" that appear in countless dreams again in their lifetimes, Wang Jinhu's heart is touched and satisfied, but there is also a trace of inexplicable loss.

When he first set foot on the strange homeland of Jiading, he already knew his childhood name and knew that his roots were somewhere in the city, however, in the past twelve years, countless dreams have returned, but he has never been able to see his relatives, but just when he thought that this twelfth year would eventually be spent in the expectation of continuing, a phone call from the police of the Jiading Public Security Bureau made his calm heart wave again.

On the night of December 23, 2021, Wang Jinhu, who was having dinner with his wife, received a call from Wang Xiang, a police officer from the Jiading Public Security Bureau, who was familiar to him: "Tell you the good news, we may have found your relatives, and this time the possibility is very large." ”

On December 26, also at dinnertime, Wang Jinhu's WeChat received a friend application from a person named "Juanzi". Originally, he didn't care, thinking that he still came to the family search group for help as usual. However, just passed the application for adding, the convenience and immediately sent the application for video communication, after the connection, the people at both ends of the screen looked at each other, after a moment of silence, the other party tentatively asked several questions, all about the same person, this person has Wang Jinhu's familiar name "Mao Fan".

The two chatted and chatted, and the bowl and chopsticks that Wang Jinhu picked up from time to time gradually stopped, until the other party asked a question that he had been waiting for for many years: "Are you my brother?" The wife next to her noticed something strange and also came to see it, but she was immediately stunned when she saw it. According to Wang Jinhu's recollection, his wife only looked at it at that time, and determined that the woman in the picture should be the relative that her husband had been looking for for many years, because the eyebrows and the look were exactly the same as Wang Jinhu's daughter.

The person who video-called Wang Jinhu was none other than his sister.

It turned out that shortly after Wang Jinhu found his daughter for the old man Wang Gentao, the old man's son-in-law proposed that he must repay the kindness of the family search group. Under his contact and communication, Wang Jinhu's biological samples were collected in early June and sent to large and small cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. On December 23, 2021, in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, near Jiading in Shanghai, Wang Jinhu's biological sample was compared to a local old uncle. Although it was later confirmed that the old man was not a direct family member of Wang Jinhu, but only a cousin of his, from the old man's mouth, he accidentally obtained an important piece of information: Wang Jinhu's family had lived in the Huating area of Jiading for a long time. It was night, the Jiading police received the relevant information, and began to search for the first time.

Through the information provided by the cousin, the community police at the Huating police station quickly found the family of Mrs. Qin, who may be Wang Jinhu's family. On the other side, the members of the group stationed in Jiading also went to visit the Huating area. When they showed the photo of Wang Jinhu as a child to the elderly people in the village, several people recognized at a glance that the person in the photo was "Mao Fan" who had been sent away. Once the situation on both sides was summarized, the possibility that Mrs. Qin's family was Wang Jinhu's family was further confirmed, and what was missing was the authoritative identification finally given from the scientific perspective of biological samples.

The next day, the police of the Criminal Division of the Jiading Public Security Bureau drove to mrs. Qin's home, collected biological sample information for the whole family, and began to analyze and compare without stopping. On December 29, the preliminary comparison results confirmed that Wang Jinhu was related to Old Lady Qin. On December 30, the results of the second retest were the same as the previous one. The information about the results of the comparison is very short, but it is true that a family relationship that is nearly a year submerged in the vast sea of people can be linked again.

On January 6, 2022, under the witness of the police and media reporters of the Jiading Public Security Bureau, Wang Jinhu, the leader of the family search group that reunited more than a dozen families, returned to his own relatives as he wished, and personally shouted out the "mother" who had been waiting for nearly 60 years.

In fact, many years ago, his mother had seen him in the tv news, but because she could not let go of the guilt of sending away her own flesh and bones, even if she was sure that it was her lost child, she still did not have the courage to recognize him. In recent years, although it has rarely been mentioned, there has always been an empty place in the hearts of the elderly. But the information that that a cursory glance could provide was really limited, and as I got older, my memory began to blur, and I could think of even fewer of them.

Wang Jinhu said that this time the family can be reunited together, not only thanks to the continuous improvement of the people's living standards under the leadership of the party, but also special thanks to the enthusiasm of the Jiading police for serving the people wholeheartedly, which makes him strengthen the belief in his heart, use his own personal experience, use all the help he can provide, and help more people in the future and find the lost family affection.
