According to sources millions of Chinese hearts have been warmed by the tale of a couple reunited with their daughter after 24 years of searching and self-reproach. Meanwhile Wang Mingqing and his wife Liu Dengying worked as fruit sellers on the streets of Chengdu when their toddler Qifeng vanished in 1994.
Moreover Wang had briefly left the three year old alone while he went to a neighboring stall to get change for a customer. When he returned the girl had gone, prompting a desperate hunt that spanned more than two decades. Her mother, Liu, recalled in a tearful TV interview that “Their daughter only knew their first names and did not know where we lived. For the next six months, she would walk and her husband would ride his bike searching for her. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Meanwhile when they
were reunited this week, Wang hugged his daughter, saying “From now on, your
father is here” and furthermore the images of the reunion were shown on TV and on
social media. He continued “You don’t need to worry about anything and your
father will support you.”
