Lost while playing alone with a 5-year-old boy
On November 1, 1996, Mr. and Mrs. Liang's 5-year-old son, Alei, was lost in his hometown in Maoming. That day, While his grandparents were taking a nap, Are went to play alone on the side of the road in front of his home. When the old man woke up, he found that Are was gone. After the grandson was lost, the grandparents immediately called the police for help, and at the same time mobilized relatives and friends to look around.
Knowing that their son was lost, Mr. and Mrs. Liang, who were working in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, were very anxious. For more than 20 years, the couple has been searching around, but there has been no whereabouts of Are. Are's grandfather traveled all over the country looking for the whereabouts of his grandson.
In February 2015, Mr. and Mrs. Liang came to the Criminal Police Brigade of the Tianhe District Public Security Bureau for help. The police collected their DNA information in accordance with the regulations at the first time, sent them to the national public security organs to find the abducted/missing children system, and carried out a large number of searches, but no valuable clues have been found.
In December 2021, in accordance with the unified deployment of the Provincial Public Security Department and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Tianhe police re-reported Alei's photo to the Ministry of Public Security, and found Chen Mou, a Maoming citizen suspected of Beingi. The handling police extracted Chen's DNA as required and sent it to the library, and Chen's sample was quickly compared to a high degree of similarity with Mr. and Mrs. Liang's missing son, Arei.
Tianhe police immediately contacted Mr. and Mrs. Liang and Mr. Chen to review and compare the DNA of both sides and confirm that Chen was Mr. and Mrs. Liang's son Alei, who was lost 25 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Liang were overjoyed to learn the news.
Family reunion after 25 years
Are, who was a child, is now an adult. "I wasn't impressed by what was going on at the time. But in my memory, I always feel that I lived by the railway when I was a child. When I received a call from the police, I was surprised. Alai said that his adoptive parents' family is also in Maoming, he has 5 sisters, and the family is very good to him.
At about 10:00 on January 13, 2022, Alai came to the Wushan police station early to wait, and the police prepared a recognition ceremony here. Mr. Liang, Ms. Deng, And Alai's grandfather and brother, Alai's biological parents, came to the scene, and the family hugged and cried, and their mood could not be calm for a long time.
"All these years, it has been so hard to find you, and I look forward to seeing you again in my lifetime every day." Are's grandfather kept repeating it. He took out the search notice of the year, and the photo of Are when he was a child. The paper of the notice was already yellow, and there were also deep creases. Relatives told about Alay's childhood, and added WeChat and phone numbers to each other.
The family presented a pennant to the Tianhe police as a token of gratitude. "Without your help, we alone may never find our son." Thank you very much for bringing our family together. Mr. and Mrs. Liang said excitedly.
It is understood that since 2021, the Tianhe police have carried out in-depth "reunion" operations and made every effort to find missing abducted children. Since the launch of the campaign, 25 families have been helped to realize their dreams of reunification. The police appealed that the "reunion" operation requires the joint participation of everyone, and if the public has any clues suspected of abduction or disappearance, they should actively provide it to the public security organs to assist in the search for missing abducted children. Parents of missing abducted children and suspected abductees can bring their id cards and household registration books to the public security organs for free DNA collection.
