For Liu Xuezhou, who is still a minor, the desire to "want to have a home" is not excessive.

Not long ago, Sun Haiyang's recognition of relatives was screened on the whole network, and everyone was moved to tears for the reunion of the Sun family, but for another Liu Xuezhou, who had just been reunited with his biological parents, the reality was not so harmonious.
According to previous reports by Jimu News, Liu Xuezhou, a teenager in Xingtai, Hebei Province, was sold at 3 months, his adoptive parents died at the age of 4, and he knew at the age of 14 that he had been bought. On December 6, 2021, 17-year-old Liu Xuezhou searched for relatives online, and more than twenty days later, he finally met his biological parents.
However, things did not come to a happy end.

On January 17, Liu Xuezhou said in a live broadcast that his mother had "blocked" him because in order to have a home, he asked his parents to buy him a house or rent a house, and was scolded by his parents for having no conscience and was a "white-eyed wolf".
He also revealed more information about his life in the live broadcast, his parents gave birth to him when he was unmarried, and sold him for 6,000 yuan that year, which became a dowry when his parents got married. His parents married and gave birth to a younger brother, who later divorced, and now he has four siblings who are related by blood: a half-brother, a half-sister, a half-brother and a half-brother.
On January 18, Liu Xuezhou posted that he would not sue his birth parents considering the feelings of his younger siblings. On January 18, Liu Xuezhou's biological father said in an interview with the media that he was willing to provide tuition for Liu Xuezhou, but he hoped to buy a house in Hebei and could not do it now. He hoped to buy a house in Hebei, and his birth mother was very angry about it and "blackmailed" him, saying that he had sent Liu Xuezhou away because of family difficulties, and the "adopter" felt sympathy and left about 6,000 yuan.
In the early morning of January 19, Liu Xuezhou sent four consecutive Microblogs in response, saying that he had changed his mind, saying that he had not asked his parents to buy a house in Hebei, and that they were reversing black and white. It also said it wanted to sue the birth parents.

The same is the "reunion" with relatives, but the results are very different. One is because of the misfortune caused by trafficking in human trafficking, but life feels warm everywhere; the other is ill-fated, deeply involved in the pull of their biological parents suspected of selling their children, and facing the reality of being abandoned again.
The argument that the biological parents sold their children, as well as Liu Xuezhou's inconsistent "house buying rhetoric", so that this family relationship that is not "two-way rushing" has also fallen into the whirlpool of public opinion.
If, as Liu Xuezhou said, Liu Xuezhou's parents were already suspected of abducting and trafficking women and children in their early years, they should be severely punished according to law. It is also hoped that the local police and courts will pay full attention to this case and will not let the violators escape the punishment of the law.
Of course, in addition to the legal controversy, in this family search trip, everyone's focus is also on why the "face" is so embarrassing to the reunion with Hemeimei.
It should be recognized that at present, Liu Xuezhou, who is only 17 years old, is still a minor, and the healthy growth of minors requires the care and love from the family. However, due to the early death of Liu Xuezhou's adoptive parents, it is almost impossible to appreciate the love from his parents in his growth in the past 17 years.
According to media reports, after the death of Liu Xuezhou's adoptive parents, he was raised by his adoptive parents' grandparents, grandparents and uncles. In any case, the love of relatives is difficult to replace the love of parents, so for Liu Xuezhou, who has found his biological parents, the desire to "want to have a home" is not excessive.
Netizens "feel sorry" for Liu Xuezhou's tragic experience, and also hope that he can enjoy the warmth from the family after finding his biological parents. But the reality is that his biological parents still can't "warmly embrace" him.
17 years old, it is like the age of flowers. In an old song, it is sung "In the rainy season when I was seventeen years old, we were all children" and sang "recalling the bits and pieces of childhood", but at the carefree age of his peers, Liu Xuezhou had already been running around in the anxiety of making a living for a long time, and even faced the situation of having no house to live in and no house to live in.

He was encouraged by the news of Sun Haiyang's success in confessing his relatives, but when he took the step of finding relatives, the reality was not as he wished. Liu Xuezhou, who bore the consequences of his biological parents' irresponsible behavior in the past, now has to confront his biological parents in court, and may have to face the complexity of human nature.
Therefore, for Liu Xuezhou, everyone may wish to stand in his perspective and growth experience, deeply appreciate his tortuous experience, and then evaluate Liu Xuezhou's ideas and current state, rather than just from the perspective of a cold, bystander to make moral accusations. After all, it's hard to harbor ill will toward a child who grew up in suffering.
In any case, this confession of relatives, the public does not want this reunion to end in a "farce".
