He is Zhou Chenghou of Taihe Town, Hechuan District, and Tao Chunyou of Linshi Town, Fuling District. On October 24, the two names overlapped. At 10:00 a.m., in Linshi Street, Fuling District, Tao Chunyou, a villager in Baiyu Village, who had been separated for 62 years, finally returned home to recognize his relatives.
Tao Chunjie, a villager in the seventh group of Baiyu Village in Linshi Street, has never been so lively, and there are many benches in the carefully cleaned and tended courtyard dam, or sitting or standing gathered in a wave of people, and the red banner on the wall reads: Welcome home. Zhou Chenghou, who was sitting on the car, had mixed feelings, some trepidation, and some expectations. It won't be long before he meets his family, whom he hasn't seen in 62 years. He didn't know what kind of scene it would be after seeing it, what he would say. After getting off the car, Zhou Chenghou was a little nervous, he unnaturally grasped the lower edge of the corner of the clothes with one hand, and held his son tightly with the other hand, passing through the noisy crowd, seeing the first glance of his brother and sister, the emotions he had to endure could not be contained at once, and several people hugged and cried.
In 1959, the father took the third brother and the five-year-old Zhou Chenghou to chongqing by boat to play at the Liberation Monument, the weekend crowds surged, the father turned around, the younger son Zhou Chenghou disappeared, and has been separated from his family ever since. After being sent to the Chongqing Children's Welfare Institute by well-wishing citizens, Zhou Chenghou was adopted by his adoptive father surnamed Zhou in Taihe Town, Hechuan District. Since then, Zhou Chenghou has lived in Hechuan District and worked in a middle school until retirement.
"I always remember that there was a water tai next to the house, and the lights at the head of the house were all burned tung oil, and the house was not lit. I remember there were six sisters, two sisters, and three older brothers on top of them, and every time a few of our babies came home through a bamboo forest, they came home through the back door of the old house. Although he was very young at the time, Zhou Chenghou always remembered that he was a lost child. He remembers that his father took him and his brother by boat to Chongqing, and the word "longevity" appeared many times in his memory, so he mistakenly thought that he came from the longevity area, and had been looking for his family in the longevity area for many years, but he had been looking for relatives without success.
In June 2021, Zhou Chenghou's daughter watched CCTV's family search column "Waiting for Me" and asked the police in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, for help. On June 27, the criminal investigation brigade of the Luqiao Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, received information on the search for relatives, collected a blood sample from Zhou Chenghou and entered it into the information database of the national public security organs to find missing abducted children.
"After technical analysis, after Zhou Cheng's DNA was compared to the DNA of the male family surnamed Tao in Fuling District in September this year, we passed the clue to the Fuling District Public Security Bureau in a timely manner." Shi Wei, a police officer at the Luqiao Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, said.
After receiving information from the Taizhou police and the instructions of the Ministry of Public Security, the Fuling District Public Security Bureau quickly organized the police to carry out a platoon visit and found that Tao Chunxue, a villager in Baiyu Village, Linshi Street, had a younger brother who had gone missing in 1959, so they collected Tao Chunxue's DNA and sent it to the Forensic DNA Room of the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau for testing and comparison.
Li Bin, instructor of the three criminal police teams of the Fuling District Public Security Bureau, said: "On October 22 this year, Tao Chunxue's DNA was compared to Zhou Chenghou's DNA. After review and comparison by experts from the Ministry of Public Security, Zhou Chenghou was Tao Chunyou, Tao Chunxue's younger brother who went missing in 1959. ”
An appraisal issued by the Taizhou Public Security Judicial Appraisal Center in Zhejiang Province confirmed the brothers' blood relationship: through DNA kinship comparison, it was confirmed that Tao Chunxue, the family member of the lost child, and the lost child's Zhou Chenghou were in line with the laws of biological inheritance. After 62 years of waiting, his brother finally went home, Tao Chunxue was very happy, "My mood is very excited, more than sixty years to finally find their own brother, can not say the joy, I am excited, can not say anything, thank you!" ”
According to local customs, go home and worship your ancestors. The third brother Tao Chunxue accompanied Zhou Chenghou to go to his parents' graves to burn incense paper. Every time he knelt down, Zhou Chenghou prostrated his head heavily.
At the first meal after his brother returned home, Tao Chunxue specially invited the cook to set up a dam feast at the entrance of the house, and all kinds of meat and fish accounted for two-thirds of the fresh, and the first floor could not be stacked on the second floor. The older brother and his younger brother toasted table after table. Every time he raised his glass, Zhou Chenghou would receive the same congratulatory words, "Welcome home!" ”
From Hechuan to Fuling, 176 kilometers apart, from the separation to the reunion, after 62 years of long time, although the parents have passed away, can not do filial piety for them, but can find their own home, with brother, sister to see, Zhou Chenghou also felt very pleased, said that in the future will often go home to walk, see, because here is his roots.
