This is actually an ultimate sad story. The father in this story is a true hero in China. Throughout those 14 years, he has help countless families to reunite with their child. Yet, when he finally found his son, the son decided to stay with his adoptive family. The son doesn't have any memory of his biological parents. His whole life, all his memory are with his current family, and they treated him very well. The result of this story cause lot of uproar in China about the need to change the kidnapping and children trafficking's law. The current law is not harsh enough for the kidnapper or the seller (5-25 years), and way too lenient for the buyer (up to 5 years). Also the right of recourse is too short (only 5 years). It's heart breaking that this father found his son physically, but didn't get him back in reality. He can't even press charge or file a civil law suit against his son's adoptive parents (the buyer) because the recourse period expired. The only silver lining is the kidnapper was arrested and now in jail

[@soleo.x]

He was 4 when he was "bought". He probably didn't know he was sold like that to his adoptive parents. He probably felt like they were his saviours. It's not hard to win over a 4 year old especially since he was treated so well. He even lived under their care for 14 years, even if their care was rooted from something twisted.

[@angi1479]

If this is true. Then I can totally understand the feelings of the boy. Obviously he had been well cared for him to want to stay back with his adoptive parents. Though they did the wrong thing. The biological parents might be mostly relieved that the boy is alive and well and the boy can keep meeting his biological parents and stay with them during holidays etc. Many children are not lucky and are kidnapped for worst reasons leading in their death and abuse. Obviously no one can give back those years of torment and guilt to the biological parents but the boy is alive well and cared for and eventually he will understand that his place is with his biological family. But this is such a sad story it should never have happened. The boy should never have been forcefully snatched from his parents. This is a big crime on the part of the adoptive parents.

[@digitalsoop]

He ran right into his dad's arms in the video. Four years old is old enough to recognize and be fully attached to your parents, and have impactful events form a strong memory. Being led away at 4 years old, probably changing quite a few hands, and then eventually being given to another family could certainly be something he remembered. Im sure that would be a very confusing and upsetting time for a four year old. Since he's 18 he might have started to look for his parents on his own. The video doesn't say why a DNA test was done on him in the first place.

He endured for 14 years. It is the most genuine happiness and relief i've ever seen coming from the father.

[@technotronicssofficial131]

His sacrifices, he didn't give up to find his son...his efforts and love bring his son back, what a pure love 😊😇

[@nreaction]

what a great father to his son, never gave up.

[@ernestinehannon3383]

My heart goes out to the parents I can’t imagine the pain and suffering they endured all these years. So happy the DNA answered their prayers to find their son.

[@troymclaughlin772]

That is pure happiness and sadness in that reunion. Very happy they got there family back.

[@GoodWillPrevail]

I'm so glad for this heartfelt reunion. I am happy the boy was treated well. So many abduction cases don't end happily.

[@20001born]

Tears in my eyes! Happy for the parents and the son. May they live happily forever.

[@Witchworkanimations]

I'm so glad they're reunited now ❤

[@cherrychocolate18]

The son decided to stay with his adoptive parents unfortunately 😭 he said that in an interview

[@Witchworkanimations]

@@cherrychocolate18 Its okay I understand but he can still see his original parents though time to time

[@TheMan19742]

He wanted to stay with his kidnappers...

This is such a powerful story of family love and bond 💕 I can’t stop crying over the relief for this father and mother who cradle their son in the arms ❤️

[@jackfloc0]

dad crying is the most heartbreaking moments ever

[@pauline5715]

14 yrs? That's insane. I'm glad they finally reunited.

[@Hope-bn9xz]

So emotional 😢 So happy they were reunited again ❤

[@shanna-leeshaw1942]

I'm so glad that he found back his son, I can't imagine how they felt. Shame on the police for not taking their job seriously, how can a child be abducted and you didnt jump into action after you took an oath to serve and protect.

[@moondust1979]

That was YEARS of pent of grief and pain that just erupted in that moment… made me cry so much 😢😢😢

[@TheAtl0001]

The truth of the matter is that those adoptive parents, although they cared well for the boy, are as much to blame as the kidnapper. Without this kind of people, this would not happen. People don't like to hear this, it is the same with drugs-related violence and drug users.

[@thomasplouffe1363]

Missing over 24 hours!?! When a child goes missing they should be looked for instantly

[@johnnyzhao7698]

Should call it Kidnaping not missing

[@jetli740]

it 2007 when this happen, law was different then.

[@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx]

@@jetli740 Yeah China came a long way back then people used to send their children in the street to be run over to make money, problem's people did run them over but didn't stop so they wouldn't be liable.

[@user-lz1pn8ih8k]

I’m so happy you found your son😢❤

[@susettesantiago5509]

This was so tragic yet so beautiful…………blessings to the family…….

[@enod9746]

When you know most Chinese families have a single child, it hits home squarely. How could any human being contrive to do this to a family?

[@lovelyddie]

This boy has a biological older sister and younger brother, but his whole family was nearly broken since the boy been “ kidnapped” . Especially his sister, in a interview the father said when the boy was missing, he and his wife were fighting everyday, blame each other and blame themselves, his older sister was grew up in that situation, the father said he also felt so bad and guilty about that.

[@infinite6766]

Chinese Family Are So Loving AND kind I'm Also From China China Is The Best Country In The Whole World 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

[@bearswithglasses]

Very easily, especially because he is a boy. Money makes the world go 'round.

[@StopBaizuo]

I've always wondered who these parents are who adopt kidnapped children. Do they know their adoptive son was been kidnapped?

[@pan2aja]

The abductor probably put the boy in some makeshift orphanage. Telling him that his parents is dead. Before "selling" him to highest bidder.

[@AnnaKaunitz]

@Lia L Of course there’s no official adoptive process. The amount of child kidnappings in China is extreme and this “newspaper” never report any critical about why they even happen. The amount of kidnappings doesn’t happen in other countries. People don’t systematically steal children and sell them to other people. If that happens, it’s going to be dealt with by the police the governments Interpol Europol etc and widely reported in the media. In my country if a child goes missing or any person goes missing there are warming systems and work in place and most are found well (like seniors with Alzheimer’s or accidents or illness) A missing child is acted upon immediately and there are no child kidnappings, it’s unheard of. If the police is stuck looking for a missing adult they work closely with accredited groups who scan areas systematically for months even. Kidnapping is a very serious crime. Here kids are safe to go out and play unsupervised, they take public transport, walk to school and friends. Sexism in China is also never properly dealt with or acknowledged. But as long as the CCP is in control, the Chinese people will never see real changes. But the people who follow this channel don’t seem to get any of this.

[@jasonhu7995]

Most likely they know since they paid for the child.

[@mira-uf1ie]

Of course they knew. They bought them from the kidnappers. They just pretend that they didn't know so that they will not be punish by the law.

[@jlybr3026]

Those cries from a dad shows how much he missed his son, 🙏

[@fairykaitlyn4219]

Oh my gosh, it makes me cry, I am so happy that you are together.

[@peacelife]

I immediately cried. So glad the son are safe and able to reunited with his parents. The dad cried out lout told us the pain that they both went through ❤❤

[@jazz-axy9924]

What kind of twisted people would adopt a stolen child? They obviously knew what they were doing because they chose not go through the adoption system.

[@putin2918]

Only a parent can relate to what the dad felt... The love for your kid transcends even above the love for your own mother.

[@ruchi2207]

felt his dad cries 😢 so glad they are reunited

[@flyingbullet53]

only a father can understand. i losted my 3 year old son for breif few hours & i couldnt bear it & only to luckily find him . i was same like him.

[@berylfang2515]

Sorry guys, nothing to be happy about. The boy has decided tonight that he will stay with his buyer, or, his adoptive parents as the media called them. The couple bought him from a human trafficker (who probably is the abductor himself) because they couldn't give birth to a son, even though, they already have two daughters at the time. On the other hand, his biological father searched for him for 14 years nonstop. Like a third of the country must know his story, a movie was made based on his tragic experience, and for what? I can't imagine the void he must be feeling right now.

[@akhilaprasad2160]

That is terribly sad,imagine the guilt and resentment the parents must have been feeling for long 14 years day in and day out.i hope the boys biological parents are comforted by the fact that he is well and alive.and the boy is still a teenager may be he can still form a bond with his biological parents. I'm more enraged by the fact that his adoptive parents are disgusting sexist human beings who bought him from someone(I'm not convinced they were naive enough to believe whatever story the traffickers told them about the boy)and I hope bad karma finds them.

[@piyushsoni05]

Such a great dad he is ♥️

[@sfsinfinity5862]

That first clip of them reunited is just heart breaking. I always watch that clip again and again, the father’s scream of relief to have found and reunited with his long lost son…

[@therealprincealone2703]

It doesn't happen for everyone. Congratulations. There's nothing like being loved by your parents and there's nothing like finding a child that was lost. I'm happy for you. Overwhelmed of something that I may never receive. You are blessed ❤️

[@namu5583]

When I lost my cat, I can feel that worry feeling, thats a cat! How about your own son/daughter? I cant imagine the feeling.

[@TuMAnu2007]

This is heartbreaking. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be. Its sad, but at least he was found and that is the joy for any parent.

[@yonasdawit8382]

Realy i am crying and so happy to see with your son . congratulations

[@zijian0625]

Unfortunately, some of those newly found kids refuse to associate with their biological parents. Instead, they would rather stay with the family who purchased them from human traffickers. I would rather not call them 'foster parents' when they are essentially buyers in the human trafficking business.

[@mira-uf1ie]

Not even C-netizens call them adopted parents. They said that is an insult to actual adopted parents who adopt their children legally.

[@MasterMando]

This really makes me happy that his parents finally meet him.

[@shicruisin7004]

This father's cry....... all that pain of all those years coming out finally

Incredible story. May all of their hearts be filled with joy for eternity after what they experienced. I pray they have wonderful lives now.

[@thomaskilburn1800]

Wow, this father has been searching far and wide for his son til he finally him. He must’ve felt relieved after 14 years of heartache and sorrow in not finding his son for that long. Incredible

[@barb5]

That's not a hug, he wanted to absorb his son. ❤❤❤

[@folliesofmen2628]

From the boy's pov that could be tough though. Mom of 14yrs arrested and being hugged by a man that was a stranger to him. I hope they find the best solution for all parties and truly reconcile, not just physically but emotionally too.

[@user-hl4vl8qd7h]

I hope the biological parents will be ok! No mercy for the abductive parents who bought a boy just for a family inherit!! As for the boy...I know he's confused but he chose the criminals just for money....
