Jimu news reporter Ye Wenbo
Family affection is the companionship of our whole life. Helping others is fun, and we will be happy too.
At the end of July this year, Yang Baolin, a resident of Huangpi District in Wuhan City, asked for help from the "Help to the End" column of Jimu News: "My mother Zhang Hongying is old and wants to find her brother who has been missing for 37 years. "As the hotline reporter on duty that day, I quickly drove to Huangpi for an interview. Zhang Hongying, a 67-year-old man from hechuan county in Sichuan Province (now Hechuan District, Chongqing), later went to Huangpi County, Hubei Province (now Huangpi District, Wuhan City) to work, never returned to his hometown, and lost contact with his relatives in 1984. The old man could not read, and Yang Baolin and I sorted out the relevant names, years, locations and other details according to her recollections.

Zhang Hongying called his brother "Zhang Hongzhi", with only a consonant name, household registration and age are unknown, and searching for relatives is like finding a needle in a haystack. "Ask the police for help, that's the most effective way!" On the same day, I accompanied the old man to the Longcheng police station in the territory, and the leader arranged for the police to inquire for a day, but there was no result. When parting, compared with the excitement when he walked into the police station, the old man was obviously a little lost when he came out: "If you really can't find it, forget it..."
On the way back to the society, the old man's expectant eyes kept emerging. Looking for relatives?! I am reminded of a typical figure reported earlier: Wang Baoku, a police officer of hongshan public security who "identifies people by sound and recognizes people". In April this year, the story of Wang Baoku helping the homeless father successfully find his relatives was reprinted by the central media after being exclusively reported by Jimu News, and the social response was strong. "This is not a case, and it involves cross-regional, you use your free time, can you try it..." I left a WeChat message for help, and Wang Baoku gladly agreed to help. In Hubei, Sichuan, and Chongqing, there are more than 5,000 people who call this name (including harmonic sounds)! Wang Baoku, a police officer at the Luonan police station, carefully checked, and there was still no progress in the early stage.
Ye Wenbo reporter directly attacked the brother and sister on the spot
Although the clues are slim, we have never given up, and we have set up a WeChat group to constantly prompt Zhang Hongying's two sons every day to provide them with more clues, such as key people in their hometown. In the end, he contacted the community police in Zhang Hongying's hometown, and then found the village party secretary, which found Zhang Hongying's relatives in Chongqing's hometown... Finally, the willows are dark and bright!
