Only such a happy ending is worthy of these 24 years of upheaval.
The day before yesterday, the whole network was watching a wedding.
The groom's name is Guo Zhen, and his father's name is Guo Gangtang.
Maybe you are not familiar with these two names, but you must remember the scene in the movie "Orphaned", Andy Lau riding a motorcycle and looking for children all over the world.
Guo Gangtang is the prototype of Andy Lau's role.
At the end of the movie, Andy Lau rides his motorcycle and continues to run on the road to find his son after helping to reunite others with his relatives.
This is the end of the movie, and now, reality is the best ending of the movie.
In 2021, Guo Zhen, who had been abducted for 24 years, was finally found.
Andy Lau did not wait for the reunion, and Guo Gangtang finally waited.
And the day before yesterday, Guo Zhen got married.
He returned to his hometown in Shandong for a wedding and returned to Guo Gangtang.
The excited Guo Gangtang hosted a banquet to entertain all the guests and villagers who helped and cared for them.
A big happy event, for some reason, from the beginning of receiving the kiss, poked my tears.
Children marry wives and have children, which is a normal life trajectory for a father.
But for Guo Gangtang, this day, he waited too hard!
In those 24 years, he traveled alone and in a car to all corners of China, accompanied only by flags flying on the car.
And now, the police in Liaocheng are opening the way for his son's wedding.
On the flag flying on the motorcycle, it is no longer hard to find, but tells everyone "Guo Fu Youxi"!
In those 24 years, Guo Gangtang always fantasized that one day when he opened the door of his house, a child rushed over and called him "Dad".
And yesterday, at the wedding, the son grew up and brought back the bride.
The bride choked up and yelled "Daddy" three times, and he promised extra loudly.
In those 24 years, Guo Gangtang was on the road, and his biggest wish was that the family of five could take a family photo.
Now the son has also held a "wedding" for their old couple at the wedding, and the family stands neatly together to banquet guests.
After seeing this situation, I understood that there is no need to be rich, it turns out that "there is no less" is the luck of home.
This wedding was not easy to come by.
There are many, many people who have been working hard for a long time.
The original film team sent blessings, and Andy Lau also recorded a video.
Lu Yu, who interviewed Guo Gangtang many years ago, sent a golden doll symbolizing "a hundred years of good union".
Ramen brother, who had helped them find their son online, also arrived at the scene.
Sun Haiyang, Du Xiaohua, Shen Junliang and other parents looking for relatives gathered together, singing with red eyes: "After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today, and I dreamed for a long time and finally realized my dream." ”
Perhaps only they can really read each other.
Perhaps only they can understand how difficult and long the road to finding their son is.
Constant disappointment, constant hope.
For them, the word "complete" is a dream, but also a blessing.
Now the world is happy.
After 24 years of upheaval and displacement, I finally waited for the sunshine.
September 21, 1997, a date that Guo Gangtang remembered for life.
He had just been returning home from work when he was suddenly told that his two-and-a-half-year-old had been taken by a young woman.
The change came too quickly, they asked for help everywhere, and hundreds of people in the entire village searched all over the township.
But what they didn't know was that at this moment, the child he had in mind had been taken to Henan by human traffickers.
For a family, children are the soul of the family.
When the child is lost, the soul is gone.
Guo Gangtang blamed himself, but if he had come home early that day, the child might not have been lost.
Guo Gangtang's wife even felt that she did not look at the child well, and everything was her fault.
An accident has ushered in a huge change for this originally happy family.
In those two years, Guo Gangtang spent all his savings, owed hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, and traveled all over Liaocheng and its surroundings, but found nothing.
Two years later, Guo Gangtang decided to ride a motorcycle and travel.
He printed his son's photo on a flag, planted it on the back of his motorcycle, and searched for it from Shandong, city by city.
It was a father's obsession.
In the following 24 years, he rode 500,000 kilometers, traveled more than 30 provinces across the country, and scrapped 10 motorcycles.
There is only one goal, which is to find my son and take him home.
A stable and wealthy family that originally relied on tractors to transport them became stretched thin because of their search for children.
This way, Guo Gangtang relied on selling his wife's handicrafts to make a coil, and instant noodles for 8 cents a pack were the food he ate most often.
In order to save money, he can only sleep in the bridge hole at night, and when the money is gone, he can only rely on begging.
Riding to Henan, he only had a dime left in his pocket.
Hungry, he struggled into a noodle shop and asked the owner if he could give a bowl of noodles.
He was also a young man who saved 50,000 yuan in the 90s, but now he is humble to the bottom in order to find his son.
That day, the boss added two eggs to his noodles, and he ate them with tears in his eyes.
How humble and desperate, as long as you can find the child, everything is worth it.
Along the way, some are not only stretched, but also dangerous.
He once encountered a drunk man at night, tore off the flag from his car and slammed on the ground. He who has always been able to endure it, looked at the photo of his son who was trampled on the ground, and finally couldn't help but scuffle with them.
He was suddenly hit by a rainstorm on the winding road of Dabie Mountain, and he was violently slapped to the ground by the fierce wind, and almost fell off the cliff.
He also met several robbers who pulled the flag behind his car after robbing the money, and were shocked, and they finally returned the money to him that day.
In those years, many people advised him to "forget it".
Cherish the present and take care of the family, where there are also wives and young sons, who also need to be taken care of.
He had also thought countless times in despair that he would simply die, but whenever he saw the flag flying behind the car, it was as if he heard a voice saying: Dad, I'm waiting for you.
Guo Zhen became an obsession in the family's heart.
Only on the road, always looking, can make them feel a little better.
In those 24 years, whenever there was news, he would go immediately, even if he knew it was a fraud.
Later, when the Internet era began, Guo Gangtang launched the Family Search Association, saying: "The Internet is more effective than my bicycle." ”
In 2015, the movie "Orphaned" was released, and Guo Gangtang cried half of it.
For the audience, it was just over two hours of film, but for him, it was a life repeated for more than ten years.
Along the way, he helped many people find children, but his luck never came.
But he never gave up.
He exposed himself to the camera and appeared on TV shows; Make your own short videos; rub the heat of the ramen brother; When someone finds a child, he will immediately go to the recognition site.
Some people scolded him for "rubbing the heat" and "wanting to fire", but so what?
He just wants the child to see him, as long as he can find the child, everything is worth it.
And that's it, from 27 to 51 years old.
24 years of turbulent displacement may have touched the heavens.
In 2021, finally, the DNA comparison was successful.
Guo Zhen, who had been abducted for 24 years, found him, and Guo Gangtang's family held him and cried bitterly.
The traffickers who had kidnapped him were also caught, and the wicked were finally punished.
After 24 years of delay, the child finally returned to them.
But at that time, Guo Zhen chose to stay with them to take care of his adoptive parents because of their advanced age and serious illness.
When the whole network was holding grievances for Guo Gangtang, Guo Gangtang chose to respect his son's choice and give his son time.
With tears in his eyes, he said: "If the child is found, there will be happy things left in the future, and God is not thin on us." ”
If you are not a person in the bureau, you may not be able to empathize with the pain at all.
But fortunately, time is the best antidote, and time can give the best answer.
Those lost years are irretrievable, and feelings need time to repair.
But fortunately, everything came back.
The sound of "dad" at Guo Zhen's wedding came from the heart.
At this moment, perhaps that son really returned.
In the future, they have a life to repair those wounds.
A reunion 24 years late, late but arrived.
Some people say that it is so high-profile, why?
Some people ask if they find it and continue to be active online, is it to bring goods?
Why? Perhaps it is so that parents and children in the world can never be separated.
At Guo Zhen's wedding, Du Xiaohua, who had been searching for his son for 12 years without success, wiped his tears offstage.
In this world, there are lucky Guo Gangtang and Sun Haiyang, but there are also many families looking for relatives, still waiting for hope.
Under Guo Zhen's wedding video, someone mentioned Liu Xuezhou.
In this world, there are lucky Guo Zhen, Sun Zhuo, and there are also people who cannot find the direction of home in their entire lives.
And all this could have been avoided.
Those traffickers snatched away not only a child, but also the hope of a family.
Those buyers, who say they want a "complete home" with both children and daughters, come at the cost of tearing up someone else's home.
Why do I support Sun Haiyang and Guo Gangtang?
Because their persistence allows us to see the pain of families who have lost their children.
Because of their persistence, more families have found their children.
Because of their activity, more people can pay attention to trafficking and pay attention to trafficking.
When everyone pays attention, in fact, our children are also being protected.
When everyone pays attention, more and more children will find their way home.
Behind this, Guo Gangtang will no longer hold the buyer responsible for the sake of the child.
But no one in the chain of trafficking is innocent.
As long as there are buyers, human traffickers will not disappear.
In favor of buying and selling, we must not admit defeat to traffickers.
Only by subjecting them all to severe punishment and making their crimes so costly that they dare not dare can we truly reduce the occurrence of similar incidents.
Only when the whole society has a tough attitude towards behaviors such as abducting and selling children, can there be fewer Sun Zhuo, Guo Zhen, and Liu Xuezhou who cannot find a home.
As Guo Gangtang said: If there is always hope, there is always hope that can wait.
I think parents who have lost their children can always wait and hope.
I think all of us can always wait for the power of justice.
May the world be free and all families reunited.
May all children live happily with their parents.
