Missing boy found after 24 years
Print Edition
A family was reunited with their son in an east China city on Sunday, 24 years after he was abducted at the age of two, as new clues surfaced that led to the arrests of two human traffickers.
In emotional scenes in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, 51-year-old Guo Gangtang burst into tears as he tightly hugged his son Guo Xinzhen, who he had been searching for relentlessly since his disappearance. The story inspired a blockbuster movie 鈥淟ost and Love.鈥
Two suspects, a man surnamed Hu and his then girlfriend surnamed Tang, have been detained by police for allegedly abducting and selling the younger Guo, police said at a press briefing yesterday.
The boy was snatched away by Tang when he was playing outside his home in Liaocheng on September 21, 1997. The couple took Guo to central China鈥檚 Henan Province where they sold him for profit, police said.
After learning of the happy reunion, Hong Kong actor Andy Lau, who played Guo Gangtang in the movie, sent his blessings to Guo鈥檚 family and his thanks to police for their years of hard work.
鈥淚 admire your persistence, Mr Guo, and I also want to pay tribute to the police for their efforts over the years,鈥 Lau said in a video posted on his social media.
The senior Guo was devastated after his son went missing, embarking on an never-ending journey to look for the boy.
