This is not a fabricated story, but a "shameful and suspicious case" that has not yet been solved!
In the early 1980s, when Zhou Jin, an 80-year-old man from a five-insured household interviewed by me, told this story, he was still in tears and whimpering.
During the Republic of China, Zhou Jin's daughter-in-law Liu Ai suddenly lost herself while sitting on the head of the hot kang, and there was no one alive or dead. Zhou Jin had been searching all over the Changbai Mountain jungle for several years, and there was still no trace of Liu Ai. He refused to marry again. He was waiting, always expecting that his daughter-in-law Liu Ai would suddenly come home! However, from the 20s to the 80s, from before liberation to the reform and opening up of New China...
That day, Old Man Zhou Jin and I drank old roast knife spirits, and our eyes flashed with anticipation. He said to me: Although Liu Ai has been angry for more than 60 years, I believe that before I die, she will come back to see me...
I could hear my nose sour and tears wet my eyes.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > ★ a young couple who broke into kanto</h1>
In the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923), Zhou Jin and his newlywed daughter-in-law Liu Ai broke into the Kanto Region. The life of Botou Zhuang in Shandong Province really could not go on - years of famine, military disasters and chaos, and the parents of both parties died soon after the new marriage. There were dead people in the family, and there were no people in the village who even carried the dead bodies outside. The little couple gritted their teeth and embarked on a desert escape day of leaving their hometown and breaking into the Kanto Region.
The two drifted all the way to the inaccessible apricot blossom in the Changbai Mountains. Surrounded by mountains and dense forests, only two or three families are scattered in the forks of the ravine. A Fellow from Shandong Who had broken into the Kanto a few years earlier advised them to settle down in the Apricot Blossom Valley. Here the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the wasteland can be opened vigorously, the grain can be eaten vigorously, and the firewood can be burned vigorously. Here "the roe deer scoops the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot". Here is still the black land of "pounding a stick in the spring and eating a meal in the autumn", and chopsticks can sprout!
So the little couple happily settled down. They chose a small mountain hut with a leeward sun, and they started early and greedily opened up the land in the dark, and in the autumn they became a family full of grain warehouses and chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. The two little ones were overjoyed, but unfortunately the old people of the two families died in the famine, otherwise they must be brought to Changbai Mountain!

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > ★ a ho-</h1>
In the winter of the third year, the young couple still had no children. A few days ago, an old Manchu shaman was invited to dance on the kang for a night, saying that you can prepare small clothes for your children, and your family will add a big fat boy in the next year! The little two were so happy that they didn't sleep well all night.
On this day, Liu Ai was busy making small clothes for future children on the hot kang head, and the hounds were lying in the kennel in the yard, squinting their eyes and pretending to sleep. Zhou Jin took the Kaishan axe and went to the firewood stack outside the courtyard to chop wood.
The old shaman said that there will be children in the coming year! The more Zhou Jin thought about it, the happier he became: Now that he has nothing to worry about eating and wearing, there will soon be children, who can be unhappy! He picked up a large axe and snapped the large wooden fir. The steaming heat coming out of his head immediately formed a layer of white frost on the raccoon hat.

Suddenly, a "ho ho" laugh came from the courtyard, like a goose flying in fright. Then the hound barked wildly twice, and then stopped abruptly. Zhou Jin didn't care. The geese and hounds are alert, and a little unexpected movement will make a blind call. He was still happily chopping the firewood with his axe, getting harder and harder he was getting drier.
From the shack came another scream from Liu Ai, which was very loud. He glanced back at the shack and muttered: The daughter-in-law must have been hurt by a needle, such a big person, and she was not careful to do needlework!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > ★ daughter-in-law and hound suddenly disappeared</h1>
Chopping a puff of chai, Zhou Jin was hungry. Looking up at the sun, it was noon. He was just about to return to the shack when he found five or six roe deer entering the vegetable garden in front of him nibbling on the straw of bud rice. He hurriedly shouted to the hounds: Tiger, roe deer into the garden. The hounds didn't come out. He shouted again: The tiger is coming, and the roe deer is entering the vegetable garden. Five or six heads! However, the tiger did not respond at all. He wondered, could it be that the tiger ran out? But I was chopping firewood on the side of the road outside the courtyard, how could I not see it running through the snow road?

Zhou Jin walked into the fence courtyard in doubt. There was no trace of the hound tiger in the yard. He didn't care, and Lao Yuan shouted: Liu Ai, I'm hungry, is the meal ready? There was no movement in the shack. Zhou Jin smiled and said: Liu Ai, I am really hungry, what about you hiding cats and cats with me? Greeting you doesn't squeak either. But there was still no echo of the daughter-in-law in the shack.
Does Liu Ai really want to hide cats and cats with me? He imagined that at this moment, his daughter-in-law must have put hot rice and hot dishes on the Kang table, and also scalded a pot of old roasted knife spirits, sitting on the Kang smiling and squinting and waiting for himself! As soon as he pulled open the door of the shack, he was stunned. The shack was empty, the children's small clothes that had not yet been made were thrown on the ground, and Liu Ai was gone!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > ★ neighbors around the neighborhood did not see the daughter-in-law</h1>
Something's wrong! The large shack door opened on the gable and there were no windows. There was no one in the house, and the cotton shoes that Liu Ai had put on the ground were gone. Where has she gone? Zhou Jin was anxious, shouting Liu Ai in his mouth, looking everywhere inside and outside the house.

The heavy snow that fell last night had long been cleaned by himself, and a dozen chickens, ducks and geese were still picking up the buds of rice he had sprinkled in the morning. The pigs in the pen were hungry and screamed and called for a straight arch of the circle door. It was long overdue to feed the pigs, but Liu Ai did not feed them in time.
Did Liu Ai go to a neighbor's house to visit the door? But there was only a snow road next to the firewood stack where he was chopping firewood, surrounded by two feet of heavy snow, and there was no other way.
Maybe Liu Ai crept past me while I was concentrating on chopping firewood! Zhou Jin walked quickly towards the other people's homes in the apricot blossoms, but there were no footprints on the mountain road that had not been cleaned. As a result, no one had ever seen Liu Ai's trace.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" > ★ there are only two strange lines of large footprints in the snow</h1>
Zhou Jin hurried back to his home. The chickens, ducks and geese in the yard were still leisurely pecking, and the pigs in the pigsty were calling more fiercely. The hounds are still missing.

He hurriedly opened the door of the shack, and the whole shack was empty, and there was still no figure of Liu Ai. The needle and thread basket on the kang was overturned on one side, and the scissors, thread balls, and needle boards inside were all sprinkled on the kang. Liu Ai loves to be tidy, and she will definitely not throw it away like this and go out. He had an ominous premonition that his daughter-in-law might have been snatched away by bandits.
During the Republic of China, bandits such as Mao, three or three small bandits often plagued the countryside, they intercepted the road (halfway robbery), kidnapped tickets (kidnapped hostages), killed cangzi (blocked in the house to kill), robbed women, and forced gangs (forced the married cat Dong, forced the wife of a husband to sleep with him), and did nothing evil. Could it be that Liu Ai was kidnapped by bandits? But where did the bandits come from and where did they leave?
He looked around the yard carefully, and finally saw two lines of footprints outside the half-man-tall wooden trellis fence, one line was coming and the other was going, but it was only one person. There is a purse under the wooden barrier, which Liu Ai hangs around his neck all the time, how can it fall?

Zhou Jin looked closely, it turned out to be torn off by hard force, which may be a mark left by Liu Ai to himself. Looking around carefully, there were two strands of brown-gray hair hanging from the wooden barricade, which were neither human hair nor like the hair of cattle and horses. This is something that gets scraped off when it crosses the fence!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" > ★ footprints disappear in front of a bottomless cliff</h1>
Zhou Jin hurriedly ran outside the courtyard and carefully observed around the fence barrier for a week, only the two lines of footprints, and no Footprints of Liu Ai.
Suddenly, Zhou Jin was stunned. The footprints on the snow were two feet long! Almost twice as much as his own footprints. He looked closely at the footprints one by one, and the people who came were barefoot, and the footprints were wide in front and narrow in front and narrow in the back. What kind of monster is this? Brown bears don't have such big feet either!
Savages.
He followed the footprints to the woods behind the house, all the way to the top of the mountain two or three miles away, and still did not find Liu Ai's footprints along the way. Not far away is a deep cliff valley, the valley is tens of meters deep (one zhang ten feet) and the valley is four or five zhang wide.
Zhou Jin tracked down a large oak tree with thick hugs, and the footprints were gone. There is no snow on the cliffs, so there is no trace of it. Zhou Jin wandered around the edge of the valley to look for it, until he confirmed that the footprints might have come from the cliff and gone from the cliff, and then he quickly walked around to the mouth of the cliff valley more than ten miles away, and walked quickly into this narrow valley.
The cliffs on both sides of the river are rugged, and the only thing you can see is a line of sky when you look up. The river at the bottom of the valley has long been frozen. The wind blew the snow at the bottom of the valley clean, leaving only the glass-like ice surface. No matter how you look at it, you can't see any trace of anything. With a glimmer of hope, he walked under the big oak tree and found a crevice in the rock to climb. However, there are still no signs of climbing. Suddenly, he saw a silver bracelet in the crevice of the rock near the ice, which was the ancestral bracelet of the Zhou family, which was personally worn by his old wife on Liu Ai's neck when they got married.
Zhou Jin was confused. Liu Ai, where have you been, and what has robbed you?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > ★ Zhou Jin looked for a daughter-in-law for 60 years and waited for a daughter-in-law for 60 years</h1>
On that day, Zhou Jin stumbled back and forth along the ice along this valley that stretched for tens of miles, until the twilight was clear, and he did not find any clues left by Liu Ai, nor did he see the long and wide footprints. The strange big footprint just disappeared out of thin air, disappeared without a trace! He concluded that BigFoot had robbed Liu Ai.
At night, god snowed again, and a foot-thick snow covered all traces. The next day, Zhou Jin walked back and forth along the valley countless times, looking for countless openings out of the valley, but there was no valuable trace.
Since then, the search for Liu Ai has become Zhou Jin's top priority. He carried a shotgun and searched all over the mountains and mountains within a hundred miles, deep ravines and ravines. But there was no trace of Liu Ai anywhere, and there was the mysterious disappearing hound!
Day after day, month after month, year after year. Zhou Jin searched relentlessly, and his wolf-like cries often echoed in the dense forest: Liu Ai, where are you? Go home, I'll wait for you!" The hearers burst into tears.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="49" > ★ old hunter told him: Your daughter-in-law is afraid that she has been abducted by wildlings</h1>
Zhou Jin searched for three consecutive years and inquired about countless people in the mountains, but there was no news of Liu Ai.
But he firmly believed that Liu Ai would return, so he was determined to wait for Liu Ai while living a life. He refused to marry again. He was afraid that Liu Ai would suddenly come back one day and see that he had become a family with other women and leave him again.
He waited bitterly, from the Republic of China to the puppet state of Manchukuo, and then to the liberation of the northeast, and then to the new China. From the mutual aid group to the agricultural cooperative, the people's commune has been waiting for themselves to become the widows and orphans in the village.
The old Manchu hunter in the mountains once told him: Boy, don't wait. Your daughter-in-law is afraid that she has been taken captive by the wildlings, and the dog. Wildlings are tall and powerful, and can fight tigers and catch bears. When my sister-in-law and my brother were hunting on horseback, they were taken from their horses by a wild man who was laughing loudly, in front of his brother and other brothers, and never returned...
Savages?
Zhou Jin remembered the "ho ho" laugh in the courtyard that day, but he was still willing to wait. For decades, whenever he ate, he always had to put a pair of dishes and chopsticks for Liu Ai at the dinner table.
Chinese New Year's Eve, zhou jin shouted when he set off firecrackers to greet the god of wealth: Liu Ai, go home! I'm waiting for you... More than 60 years, every year.
