In order to find his biological mother, he did not hesitate to wait for 17 years, and even broke down and shouted on the stage of CCTV.
However, the end result brought tears to the eyes of many people.
So what is going on? Why did a student who graduated from Peking University shed tears on the stage of CCTV?
01
Looking for mom for 17 years
Since its launch in 2014, "Waiting for Me" has helped many separated families realize their dreams of reunion and reunited many long-separated relatives.
What can be said is that this show is full of true feelings and positive energy in the world, and is deeply welcomed and loved by the audience.
In this program, the experience of Wang Honggang, a graduate student of the School of Physics of Peking University, deeply touched countless people.
Wang Honggang, a 32-year-old native of Chongqing, Sichuan Province, now lives in Beijing, where he is now an engineer in the artificial intelligence industry as a graduate student at Peking University.
He also has a happy family and a pair of lovely children.
However, under Wang Honggang's enviable appearance, there is a huge thing hidden in his heart, that is, his long-lost biological mother.
According to Wang Honggang's recollections, his mother left home to work when he was in junior high school.
However, since her mother left, she has never come back, and there is no news, and her mother's loss of contact has also made Wang Honggang miss it very much.
For this reason, he searched for 17 years, but there was no result.
This also made his heart very painful, and what was even more heart-wrenching was that his grandfather died with regret because he didn't see his daughter, and his father was depressed all day long, and the whole family seemed to have completely lost its vitality and vitality.
In the scene of the show, Wang Honggang couldn't help but cry when he talked about these things.
So what kind of experience did Wang Honggang have? Will he finally find his long-lost mother as he wishes?

Mom's expectations
In a small county town on the border of Chongqing and Guizhou, an ordinary and happy family lives.
In this family, there is a hard-working father and a strong mother, as well as three lovely children, including Wang Honggang, who was born in 1987.
Wang Honggang's father was a carpenter, mainly working outside to earn money to support the family, and he worked tirelessly every day just to make the family's life better.
Wang Honggang's mother is a hard-working housewife, in addition to farming at home, she will also go to the market to set up a stall, and even go to the dock to work as a porter to increase some income for the family.
Although life is very difficult, Wang Honggang's family is always full of laughter. They support each other, care for each other, and live a full and happy life.
And Wang Honggang has received a good education from his parents since he was a child, especially his mother's teaching of himself is even more impressive.
Her high school mother was culturally imbued and did not have the opportunity to further her education, but she passed on her cultural knowledge to her children.
Wang Honggang clearly remembers that when he was a child, his mother often told them about his experience.
Mom used to tell them that after finishing high school, she had a very good academic performance and even ranked second in her class.
Her dream was to be admitted to Peking University, but unfortunately, this dream was not realized.
This regret deeply affected my mother's life, and it was also deeply imprinted in Wang Honggang's heart. Mother once told Wang Honggang to study hard, be admitted to university, get out of the poor mountainous area, and change his fate.
Wang Honggang is also a very sensible and obedient child, and in his mind, he has always deeply remembered his mother's teachings.
Since childhood, Wang Honggang has studied very hard and seriously, hoping to make up for his mother's regrets one day.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him, and before he could achieve his dream, his mother suddenly left him.

Suddenly went out to work
One day in 2002, Wang Honggang was in junior high school and could only go home once a week.
Once when he came home, he found his mother sitting alone on the bed crying, while his father was watching indifferently.
Although Wang Honggang later learned that it was because of the quarrel between his parents, his father was reluctant to disclose the specific reason.
Wang Honggang, who was only a teenager at the time, thought that things would settle down quickly, but he didn't expect that the next time he went home, his mother had already left home.
He couldn't understand why his mother left suddenly, but he was too young to find his mother.
It was at this time that Wang Honggang fell into a collapse with his grandfather's words, and he said to the children, "Your mother has gone out to work, and it will take 10 years to come back." ”
Such a news was like a bolt from the blue for Wang Honggang at that time, and he couldn't understand why his mother made such a decision.
So, Wang Honggang could only silently remember his mother's words and continue to study hard. With excellent results, Wang Honggang was successfully admitted to the county's key high school.
A few months later, Wang Honggang received a letter from her mother.
In the letter, his mother told him that he was living well in Guangdong, that he had found a job, and that he had food and shelter.
These news made Wang Honggang very happy, because he finally learned about the current situation of his mother's life in a distant country.
After reading the letter, Wang Honggang carefully folded the letter, put it in the box in the dormitory and locked it, this letter means a lot to him, it is a mother's instructions, but also a testimony to their common dream.
After that, Wang Honggang made up his mind to be admitted to a good university and use knowledge to change the fate of himself and his family.

Work hard for mom
In high school, Wang Honggang excelled in grades, and his hard work and perseverance were recognized by teachers and classmates.
He knows that in order to realize his dreams, he must study harder and constantly improve his abilities.
In addition to studying, he also actively participates in various activities to cultivate his comprehensive ability.
Over time, Wang Honggang's grades have remained at the top of his class, and his hard work has gradually paid off.
In the college entrance examination, he achieved excellent results and was successfully admitted to the university of his dreams.
In July 2006, Wang Honggang received a notice from Harbin Institute of Technology, and he successfully entered the university campus.
During college, Wang Honggang studied hard and earned money through part-time work, making adequate preparations for finding his mother.
One day in college, he decided to go to Shenzhen, the city where his mother worked, to look for clues.
After Wang Honggang took the train from Harbin to Shenzhen, she found the factory where her mother worked according to the address she had written.
After some questioning, the person in charge of the factory told him that there were no employees in the factory who were more than three years old, and there was no employment record of Wang Honggang's mother.
Such a piece of news undoubtedly poured on Wang Honggang like a basin of cold water, and what made Wang Honggang even more frustrated was that an accountant in the factory told him a shocking thing.
A few years ago, there was an incident in which an employee tried to climb through the factory gate in the middle of the night, and the female employee looked very much like Wang Honggang's mother.
This news made Wang Honggang's heart collapse, he didn't know what his mother had gone through, and what happened now?
After returning to school, Wang Honggang was in a slump for a while, and during this time, he was about to face the pressure of going to graduate school, securing graduate school and finding a job.
When he was about to graduate from college, Wang Honggang decided to work hard for his mother's unfulfilled dream. In this way, he regained his strength and was successfully admitted to the graduate school of Peking University.
As time passed, ten years have passed, but Wang Honggang's mother still hasn't returned home.
At the same time, Wang Honggang's grandfather was about to die due to his deteriorating condition. When he was dying, he recorded a video to express his thoughts and calls for his daughter.
Since the death of his grandfather, Wang Honggang has taken on more responsibilities, not only to study, but also to take care of his two younger sisters, while continuing to search for his mother.
And his father has been depressed since his mother left home to work, and the burden of the whole family seems to be on Wang Honggang's shoulders alone.
However, with Wang Honggang's persistent efforts, the two younger sisters also have excellent academic performance and were successfully admitted to graduate school.
The family's life is gradually improving, but Wang Honggang's heart is still concerned about his mother.
In order to find his mother, Wang Honggang decided to take his two younger sisters to the CCTV "Waiting for Me" program.

The end result
At the scene of the show, Wang Honggang and his sisters finally waited for the opening of the "door of hope", however, to the regret of countless people, there was only an empty chair behind the door.
This scene couldn't help but make Wang Honggang's heart twist like a knife, and he cried bitterly in front of the national audience.
His longing and dreams turned into tears at this moment, as if he had returned to the child who longed for his mother to appear 17 years ago.
Disappointment and despair intertwined in Wang Honggang's heart, and he couldn't help but start thinking back to the night he was separated from his mother.
There are 17 years in my life! In those 17 years, the children have grown from young children to adults, and their mothers have not been able to witness all this.
She missed the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the children's growth, could not share their warmth, warmth, hunger, and content, and failed to accompany them through the pain and grievances on the road to growth.
When the children need their mother's care and care the most, they can't see their mothers and get their mother's warmth.
In the 17-year search process, Wang Honggang has also experienced countless twists and turns and difficulties, but he always firmly believes that as long as he can find his mother, all the efforts are worth it.
And his hard work and persistence have also touched many people, and I hope that Wang Honggang's family can be reunited as soon as possible!
