On this day, wait for 62 years! Yesterday morning, under the joint witness of the police in Nantong and Nanjing, Bao Changhai, a 67-year-old nantong man, met his relatives in Liuhe, Nanjing.
Decades of thoughts turned into sour tears and affectionate embraces. Reunion was once so far away for Bao Changhai, but with the help of the relay of the public security organs, the dream finally shone into reality.
In 1959, on the streets of Nanjing, he was separated from his family
When he was a child, Bao Changhai knew that his life was unusual. He still clearly remembers that when he was 5 years old, he lost contact with his father on the street of The Drum Tower in Nanjing and has since broken off contact with his family. "It was 1959." Bao Changhai is unforgettable. After living with his adoptive parents in Nanjing for 11 years, in 1970, because his adoptive father was sent to Nantong, Bao Changhai took root in Nantong from then on.
Over the years, his adoptive parents have regarded Bao Changhai as their own, and the two sisters have cared for him very much, and for his life, his adoptive parents have always been secretive. Although Bao Changhai wanted to find his biological parents, and even secretly took the opportunity to go to the local police station on a business trip to Nanjing to inquire, in front of his adoptive parents, he could not bear it after all, and the idea of looking for relatives was buried in his heart. It was not until his adoptive father died many years ago and his adoptive mother died in 2019 that Bao Changhai began to search for relatives. His wife gave him endless encouragement, because Bao Changhai's decades-long wish, she had already seen through.
With the help of his wife, Bao Changhai joined the search group. Although many efforts were made, there were almost no clues left when he left home that year, and the search for relatives has not progressed.
This year, the Ministry of Public Security organized public security organs across the country to carry out "reunion" operations. Combined with the practice of "I do practical things for the masses" in party history study and education, the Nantong police set up 7 free DNA collection points throughout the city, and publicized them through mainstream media such as Nantong Release and Jianghai Evening News to help separated families achieve reunion as soon as possible. In May this year, Bao Changhai, accompanied by his lover, went to the Zhongxiu police station of the Chongchuan Public Security Bureau for help. Under the guidance of the police, Bao Changhai received DNA sample collection at the DNA laboratory of the criminal police detachment of the Nantong Municipal Public Security Bureau. The old couple did not expect that this time ushered in the dawn of hope.
DNA comparison, 62 years after the reunion of relatives
Yi Hai, chief forensic physician of the DNA laboratory of the criminal police detachment of the Nantong Municipal Public Security Bureau, analyzed Bao Changhai's DNA information, and after entering the library comparison, quickly found that it was the same as the family lineage of a Li surname in Longpao Street, Liuhe District, Nanjing City, so he immediately contacted the Nanjing police to visit and investigate.
The Li family reflected that there were indeed relatives in the family who were sent for adoption, but the brothers and sisters of the same generation are currently only the third oldest sister Li Suhua is still alive, and the parents have been dead for many years. Although this has brought certain difficulties to the determination of blood relations, the public security organs of the two places have not flinched, and after further testing of the samples collected by both sides, their kinship has finally been determined.
When he received the good news from the Nantong police, Bao Changhai felt like a dream, and he never imagined that the public security organs would successfully find his relatives in such a short period of time. Thinking of meeting his family soon, Bao Changhai had mixed feelings and did not sleep well for several consecutive nights.
The reunion is scheduled for November 3. Accompanied by Zhang Hao, a police officer of the criminal police detachment of the Nantong Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Liu Beiping, a police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Chongchuan Public Security Bureau, Bao Changhai and his lover drove to the criminal investigation center of the Liuhe Branch of the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau early yesterday morning. There, my sister Li Suhua and her family are also looking forward to it. At 11:30 a.m. on the same day, Bao Changhai, who had been away from home for 62 years, finally met his relatives in Nanjing.
Together, the younger sister still has no news
At the moment of reunion, sister Li Suhua and Bao Changhai hugged each other tightly, tears soaked the eyes of the sisters and brothers, and the family members on the side also had red eyes.
"At that time, the family was forced to send away my brother and sister." Sister Li Suhua said that there are 6 brothers and sisters in the family, And Bao Changhai is the fifth oldest, and there are three older brothers and one sister. His parents were farmers, and because life in the family was really difficult, they sent their younger brother Bao Changhai and the youngest sister to be adopted. At that time, the father took his brother and sister to the Drum Tower, bought snacks, and put them on the side of the road, hoping that well-wishers would adopt them. ”
Losing two children at once, the parents are not as heartbroken as a knife. Li Suhua revealed that her mother was too sad to end her life on the night she sent Bao Changhai away, and her father also died at the age of 46. Over the years, the family has also searched for younger siblings many times, but there has been no result. Today, my sister has not heard from me, and my brother has finally returned home. It is lamentable that Bao Changhai's biological parents are long gone, and his brother has also passed away. Taking the photo of his brother handed by his sister, Bao Changhai looked at it and looked at it. After 62 years of cutting blood thicker than water, the family decided to take Bao Changhai back to the old house to see.
The long-lost reunion is inseparable from the help of the public security organs in Nantong and Nanjing. In order to express their heartfelt thanks, the family sent thanksgiving pennants to the police of the two places.
"Let love come home and let more families achieve reunion." Jia Dongtao, deputy head of the criminal police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, revealed that since the launch of the "reunion operation", as of now, Nantong public security has successfully helped more than 30 families realize the dream of reunion.
