A 37-year-old Chinese man was kidnapped by a network of kidnappers when he was a child. He was able to find his family thanks to memories he was able to draw. Arnauld Miguet, journalist for France Televisions in China, takes stock of this story.
After thirty-three years of separation, a 37-year-old Chinese reunited with his family thanks to memories he was able to draw and relay on social networks. “This is the beautiful story of the start of the year in China. Li Jingwei was able to find his mother. He was 4 years old when he was kidnapped in his small town by a child trafficking network in 1989 to be resold and raised by a family 1,700 kilometers away “, reports Arnauld Miguet, journalist for France Télévisions in China.
After years of searching, Li Jingwei decides to make a sketch so that we can help him find the village of his childhood. “The sketch is widely relayed on the Chinese social network TikTok. This sketch enabled the authorities to find the town where the tragedy took place and its parents (…) It is difficult to know the exact number of children kidnapped and missing in China, but they would still number in the hundreds today. “, adds the reporter.
