The long river of time was reversed to the cold and biting winter day of 1991, and Zhang Xuexia was working hard in a large department store in Guizhou. In order to buy new clothes for her young son, she resolutely chose to work overtime in the early days of the Chinese New Year, which she was eager to expect, in the hope of earning a good extra income.
However, this decision not only completely upended the course of her life, but also plunged the family, which was originally full of laughter, into endless darkness and grief.
Just as it was about lunchtime, her husband Song Huainan suddenly rushed into the work room with tears on his face, calling Zhang Xuexia's name in horror: "Hurry home! Yanzhi is missing!" The Spring Festival, which was supposed to be a family happy together, was shattered by this sudden change.
It turned out that Song Yanzhi, who was only three years old, was playing on the street that day in the company of his grandfather. Although there are also many children playing around, Song Yanzhi's innocent smile and carefree personality make him quickly integrate into it and enjoy the joy of childhood.
However, after a brief negligence, the grandfather left for a while, and actually gave the traffickers an opportunity to take Song Yanzhi away ruthlessly.
After learning the bad news, Zhang Xuexia suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and she fell to the ground limply, tears sliding down like beads of broken threads. Song Yanzhi's lively and lovely figure kept flashing in front of her eyes, and the pain in her heart was as unbearable as a knife.
Song Huainan and his wife were like crazy beasts, searching around every corner of the neighborhood, but they couldn't find any clues about Song Yanzhi in the end.
Half a year later, they finally apprehended the trafficker, but the man cunningly denied it and refused to reveal any valuable clues. As a result, her husband Song Huainan fell into a deep depression and was almost on the verge of mental collapse.
In the end, he chose to end his life in an extreme way, Zhang Xuexia stood in front of her husband's grave with tears in her eyes, and she swore to the tombstone that no matter what the price, she must find her son Song Yanzhi! Since then, Zhang Xuexia has embarked on a long and difficult journey to find her son.
The unfortunate death of her husband Song Huainan undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Zhang Xuexia. However, she never wavered in her firm belief in finding her son, but was deeply touched by the words left by her husband, "I just want to find my child", which ignited the fire of hope in her heart.
At first, Zhang Xuexia carried a photo of her son Song Yanzhi and walked through every inch of Guizhou on foot. She knocked on doors from house to house to ask people if they had seen Ms. Song, and on the streets, she handed out missing person notices to passers-by, eager for even the slightest clue.
However, after more than half a year of unremitting struggle, there is still no sign of gain, and the whereabouts of his son seem to have evaporated in the world, and there is no news. As she felt more and more anxious and hopeless, the police unexpectedly got a glimmer of life.
Some traffickers revealed that Song Yanzhi may have been resold to the area of Anxi City, Fujian Province, although the exact location is still unclear, but this is undoubtedly the only clue that Zhang Xuexia has obtained during the 25-year search for her son.
Therefore, she resolutely resigned from her current job, and embarked on the long road to Anxi, Fujian Province with trepidation. After arriving at her destination, Zhang Xuexia first posted a large number of missing person notices in public places such as train stations and bus stations, and then immediately launched a door-to-door investigation.
There are more than 30 villages in Anxi County, and she decisively adopted a strategy of separate actions, stepping into every corner step by step until nightfall. Regrettably, the hard work along the way has not led to any substantial progress.
Penniless, Zhang Xuexia had no choice but to temporarily find a job in the local area to earn the meager income needed to make ends meet.
When she had enough savings to cover the cost of another trip, she set off again without hesitation, continuing to search for clues about her son in the surrounding towns and villages. In this way, time flies, and time flies.
Zhang Xuexia is like a walking corpse, with a haggard face and a thin body, she works hard until late at night every day, cutting back on food and clothing, just to be able to raise the money to embark on the journey to find her son again.
As time passed, many relatives and friends who had been eager to help her lost confidence in her, and even persuaded her to have another child and start a new life. However, for Zhang Xuexia, this mother's dedication to love makes her unable to give up easily, and Song Yanzhi is her only concern in this world.
Once, she bravely appeared on a TV family search program, and called affectionately to the national audience: "Zhizhi, now you may have grown into an adult." If you see this message, please be sure to get in touch with me as soon as possible and return to my mother's arms as soon as possible!" Although many enthusiastic people actively provided clues after the program was broadcast, all of them were lost in the sea without exception.
However, Zhang Xuexia has always been steadfast and has never given up the belief in finding her son. She began to teach herself computer skills and posted on various well-known family search websites for help.
And every year during the Spring Festival, she always stops at the train station with a photo of her son, hoping to find a ray of hope in the bustling crowd.
Twenty-five years of ups and downs have brought her endless physical and mental torture! High blood pressure, coronary heart disease and many other diseases are pressed together, but she is fascinated and persistently looking for her lost son!
As the New Year of 2016 was approaching, Zhang Xuexia, like every day in the past, staggered to Anxi Railway Station in Fujian. Holding a photo of his beloved son Song Yanzhi in his hand, he searched around in the bustling crowd.
In this way, she has traveled through countless towns around Anxi, but she has never been able to get her wish.
Just as she was anxiously searching through the crowd with trepidation, a young man suddenly blocked her way. The young man said in a sincere tone: "Dear lady, may I ask if you are looking for a relative?
Zhang Xuexia looked at the young man in front of her suspiciously, with mixed feelings in her heart. Over the years, she had become accustomed to the cynicism of others, but the sincerity in the young man's eyes made her irresistible, and she began to pour out her rough experience.
It turned out that this young man named Song Yanzhi had paid attention to Zhang Xuexia's family search information on the Internet as early as 2011. Because of the same twists and turns in his own background, he deeply sympathizes with Zhang Xuexia's experience, and has always been eager to do his best to help her recover her lost flesh and blood.
What is amazing is that as the conversation deepens, they unexpectedly find that the similarities between each other become more and more obvious!
Song Yanzhi even admitted frankly that in fact, he had already learned the truth that he was not biological.
Faced with such an astonishing coincidence, both sides were suspicious. On the advice of enthusiastic people, they decided to take a paternity test. In the end, the DNA report released by the Qiannan Prefecture Forensic Center in Guizhou Province confirmed the blood relationship between them.
The moment she learned the exact result, Zhang Xuexia could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, she hugged the young man in front of her tightly and wept bitterly.
Song Yanzhi was deeply moved by the biological mother's firm belief. He burst into tears at the scene and expressed his guilt to Zhang Xuexia: "Mother, you have paid too much bitterness and tears to find me.
When all the onlookers present witnessed this shocking scene, they were all moved to tears. Even, an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life couldn't help but clasp Song Yanzhi's hands and said earnestly: "Young friend, your mother has spent 25 difficult years in order to find you, from youth to gray hair.
Let's go back 25 years, when Song Yanzhi was just a carefree three-year-old child. As the Chinese New Year of 1991 was approaching, people across the country were making elaborate preparations for the New Year, but the criminal human trafficker set his sights on Song Yanzhi, who was playing in the streets.
In just a few minutes when Song Yanzhi's grandfather was slightly negligent, the man took the opportunity to sneak in and quickly took Song Yanzhi away, losing contact with his biological parents from then on. After that, the traffickers took Song Yanzhi on a long and bumpy journey.
Eventually, at a crowded train station, the traffickers met a kind-hearted middle-aged couple. So, he lied that his family was in financial difficulties and could not continue to raise Song Yanzhi, and asked the couple to lend a hand and give some money to adopt the child.
The couple, who already had four children at the time, mistook the trafficker for Song Yanzhi's father out of sympathy, so they agreed without hesitation and paid the fee to bring Song Yanzhi back home.
From that moment on, Song Yanzhi was kept in the dark and entered a new family environment.
The new adoptive parents regarded Song Yanzhi as their own and gave him meticulous care and love. However, it is a pity that the young and ignorant Song Yanzhi did not know that his life experience had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he had endless questions about it since he was a child.
Time is like an arrow, and in an instant, Song Yanzhi has become an adult. It was only then that his adoptive parents revealed to him the truth of the matter - he was not the family's biological son, but the widow who had been ruthlessly abducted by a trafficker and later accidentally adopted by them.
Faced with this cruel reality, Song Yanzhi once fell into a trance, and his heart was full of helplessness and confusion. However, after a painful struggle, he gradually accepted this fact and strengthened his determination to find his biological parents.
Since then, Song Yanzhi has devoted himself to the search of major family search websites, hoping to find clues about his life story in this vast amount of information. Soon after, he accidentally found Zhang Xuexia's child-seeking notice on the Internet, and the similarity between the two is shocking.
As a result, this family, which was separated due to misfortune 25 years ago, ushered in the dawn of reunion again with this concise and clear online family search notice. Song Yanzhi took the initiative to get in touch with Zhang Xuexia without hesitation, paving the way for the reunion of the mother and son.
After a rigorous DNA paternity test, Zhang Xuexia and Song Yanzhi were finally able to confirm their blood relationship. Over the past 25 years, Zhang Xuexia has gone through countless hardships in order to find her lost son.
Now that the mother and son are finally reunited, the joy in her heart is indescribable.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xuexia and Song Yanzhi embarked on the road back to their hometown, and the destination was their hometown town in Guizhou. Along the way, the mother and son talked freely, and there seemed to be endless topics.
Zhang Xuexia affectionately recounted the tragic experience of her son when he was abducted, and the pain of her husband's death with hatred. Song Yanzhi kept apologizing to her mother, feeling guilty for making her live a torturous life for 25 years.
When they arrived in their hometown, Zhang Xuexia first led Song Yanzhi to the tomb of her husband Song Huainan. Facing the white tombstone in front of her, Zhang Xuexia burst into tears.
She slowly knelt down, gently stroked the tombstone with her hand, and whispered, "Huainan, you can finally sleep in peace." Our son, our little Yanzhi, has returned safely, and our family can finally be reunited.
Song Yanzhi also knelt aside, staring at the photo on the tombstone, tears falling quietly. His emotions are complicated, full of deep longing for his biological father, and sad about the situation of his family that was forced to separate 25 years ago.
He choked up and said, "Father, I'm sorry that I failed your high expectations and made you heartbroken. But rest assured, from now on, I will take care of my mother with double filial piety, so as to make up for the regret between us for the past 25 years.
The mother and son, with a sense of awe, solemnly paid tribute at the tomb, hoping that the relatives in heaven would be able to sense their hearts and receive temporary comfort and relief.
From time to time, I heard the cheerful cry of birds, as if I was also infected by this solemn and sacred atmosphere, which made the whole scene more solemn and quiet.
As time passed, Zhang Xuexia finally stood up slowly, clasped her son's hand, and said in a firm tone: "Child, let's go back home! From today onwards, we will start our life journey again with a new attitude."
