"Who am I, how old am I, and where is my home?" Lai Hesheng (pseudonym), who grew up in Qingliu County, Fujian Province, has known since he was a child that he is the adopted son of his parents, but he has no memory of his biological parents and hometown. It wasn't until September this year, when the DNA comparison was successful, that he knew that he was a Sichuan baby from the southern county of Nanchong City.
On November 5, Lai Hesheng returned to his hometown to recognize his relatives under the arrangement of the southern police, left for 38 years, and returned to his middle age, still in tears under the affectionate embrace of his biological parents.
38 years ago
The father's 4-year-old son, who had his tooth extracted in the town, went missing
On November 5, Yao Linwen, the son of the Yao family, who was abducted and missing at the age of 4, was about to return home in Jinzishan Village, Dawang Town, Nanchong County, Sichuan Province. The villagers are looking forward to it.
The scene of the "reunion" operation of the Nanfang County Public Security Bureau was set up here, and Lai Hesheng from Qingliu, Fujian Province, and Yao Shaoying and Li Shufang, who lived in the south, hugged each other and wept tightly.
Stepping on the red carpet, Yao Shaoying and his wife held their son's hand tightly, which had been lost once, and the two old men were afraid of losing it again.
Time goes back to 1983, when Yao Shaoying and his wife, who were almost established, lived in the old courtyard of the clan family with their only son, Yao Linwen, and the family was not good, but it was also happy.
On August 1, 1983, the father took his son to Dawang Town to collect and extract his teeth, but he did not expect that when he was in the clinic, his son mysteriously disappeared.
In the following years, the couple launched relatives, neighbors, and villagers to search around the surrounding area, and the southern police also made every effort to investigate, but due to the backward technical means at that time, the search for relatives has never been heard.
But the couple never gave up looking for their son, and even saw that some people in the newspaper were looking for relatives, and they also took the initiative to contact, but through the identification, it was not the son Yao Linwen.
In 2016, Yao Shao, with the help of the police, went to the Southern County Public Security Bureau to collect blood and store it.
Thousands of miles away
"Who am I, how old am I, where is my home?"
Back at home, standing in front of his parents, the two identities of Lai Hesheng, a Fujian native, and Yao Linwen, a Sichuan baby, finally overlapped.
Lai hesheng also talked about his years. He vaguely remembered that he had taken a long, long train and came to his new home far away. Fortunately, he was treated the same as his younger siblings in his new home, and his adoptive father and adoptive mother did not treat him as an outsider.
After graduating from the secondary school in 1998, Lai Hesheng entered the society to live independently, entered the factory and mine, worked as a handyman, and has now built a joint venture factory in Nan'an, Fujian Province.
From the beginning of elementary school, Lai and Sheng learned from his neighbors and classmates that he was not born to his parents, and he was talked about and ridiculed from time to time.
He tried his best to hide his inner uneasiness and cowardice, and gradually developed a life question of "who am I, how old am I, and where is my home".
In November 2020, with the help of Lai's sister, he got in touch with the "Baby Come Home" volunteers. When I was working in Songyuan, Jilin Province, I saw the propaganda of the actions of the regiment members, and I went to the local public security organs to collect blood and store it with the idea of trying it.
On September 8 this year, Lai Hesheng received a call from the police in southern Sichuan, informing him that he had successfully compared his DNA relationship with Yao Shaoying and his wife. On the phone, the police told him the truth about the disappearance and separation of that year, and at that moment, Lai Hesheng dispelled the doubt that "I was abandoned by my parents" for half a lifetime.
A few days ago, the southern police contacted Lai Hesheng again to go home to recognize his relatives, and he quickly arranged things in Quanzhou, leaping nearly 2,000 kilometers and returning home.
A table of hometown meals
Tell each other about the reunion
I had no choice but to run away for half a life, and I came back in middle age. Today, Lai Hesheng is already the father of two children.
After taking his son to see the ruins of the old mansion where he lived when he was a child, his parents led Lai Hesheng back home. With 38 years of thoughts and guilt, the mother Li Shufang racked her brains to arrange a reunion dinner for her son Zhang, and Lai Hesheng ate it with relish.
Li Shufang believes that the return of his son after 38 years, just like the birth of his son 42 years ago, is the best anniversary of his life and the whole family. So they bought the cake back, celebrated their son's return home, and gave his son a birthday.
"Son, for 38 years, you have never eaten a mouthful of food made by your mother, and you have never drunk a mouthful of water cooked by your mother, all of which are the fault of your parents!" Li Shufang burst into tears, cut a piece of birthday cake with trembling hands, and carefully fed her middle-aged son like a baby.
This reunion dinner, which has been separated for 38 years, let Lai Hesheng taste the taste of hometown and also taste the taste of home. Yao Shaoying and Li Shufang looked at their son, and their hearts, which had been empty for 38 years, were finally fulfilled.
