Police efforts help HK man find his long-lost cousin
Print Edition
Police in Jiading District helped Gu Minqiao, who is in his 70s, find his cousin after 45 years of separation. They received a letter from Gu in Hong Kong on March 25, requesting to trace his family.
Gu, a Jiading native, was assigned to work in Hong Kong after graduation from university in the 1970s and gradually lost contact with his family. 鈥淚 want to go back to visit my hometown, especially to reunite with my family,鈥 he wrote.
Gu said he had an uncle called Gu Jiaxing in Jiading. At first, Wu Yan, the police officer in charge of the case, could not find anyone with that name at first.
Later, Wu thought Gu might have forgotten the exact names of his family members so she did a search of similar names.
This time, they found a man that matched the name but who refused to cooperate, so the police could not verify if he was the man they were looking for.
Just when hope was fading, another search found an old man whose surname is Lu.
The police visited the village where Lu lives and verified that he was Gu鈥檚 cousin.
Lu gave his contact number to the police who later passed it to Gu. Shortly after that, Gu and the cousin were reunited.
