A Chinese couple found their son after a 14-year journey of searching and suffering, during which they never lost hope. They finally located him with another Chinese family. After the reunion and embrace, the son decided to stay with the family that raised him, which came as a shock to his parents.
The couple spent 14 years in sadness and despair over the loss of their son, employing both traditional and modern means in their continuous search for him. Their son was abducted in 2004 when he was just 4 years old. In a significant surprise, the couple, Sun Haiya and his wife Peng Qij, met their son after 14 years of disappearance.
The video of the parents embracing their son evoked sympathy from everyone who saw it, as they seemed to be living a dream, unable to believe that their child was back in their arms after searching everywhere for clues about him. They offered a reward of $31,000 for information about his whereabouts, as reported by Al-Watan newspaper.
When they saw their son who had lived for 10 years with another family, they confirmed his identity through DNA testing. However, after the warm reunion, the son chose to continue his life with the family that raised him for a decade, as he was unaware of his true lineage during that time. The joy of the parents was not complete after their son's decision to remain with his upbringing family.
After all those years, the police managed to arrest the kidnapper, who was found to have abducted two other children, according to Sputnik, citing The Sun newspaper.
