The recovered and unrecovered children in the "Aunt Mei" case

  Of the 9 abducted children in the "Aunt Mei" case, 5 have been found.

  The Guangzhou Zengcheng Police reported on July 17 that two children who had been abducted were recovered in Dongguan and Heyuan on July 15, and the two children had been identified with their biological parents on the 17th. Prior to this, the police have successively recovered three abducted children.

  Surging News (www.thepaper.cn) was informed that the two children Zhu Long and Deng Feng recovered this time were from Chongqing and Hunan.

  On the evening of July 17, Deng Feng, who had just taken the college entrance examination, was rushed from Guangzhou to Chenzhou, Hunan, by his parents with him overnight. The next day, Deng Feng's mother, Deng Shuhuan, took him to climb the mountain. Both the mother and the child were very happy. Deng Shuhuan told Peng Pai News that after a full day or two at home, she would take her children to "walk relatives."

  Deng Feng was abducted in Guangzhou Zengcheng in 2004 when he was only two years old. Four months after he was abducted, he was also in Shitan Town, Zengcheng, and Shen Cong, the son of Henan native Shen Junliang, was also abducted. Shen Junliang and others have since embarked on the path of finding children. In March 2016, Zhang Weiping, a "human trafficker", was finally arrested.

  The Guangzhou Intermediate Court conducted a trial in December 2018 and found that from September 2003 to December 2005, Zhang Weiping and others abducted 9 boys, including Zhu Long and Deng Feng. According to Zhang Weiping, he introduced these children aged 1 to 3 to Zijin County, Guangdong and other places through the introduction of the middleman "Aunt Mei".

  In November 2019, the two abducted children Chen Qian and Yang Jia were found by the police. Three months later, Shen Cong was also recovered by the Zengcheng police. In addition to the Zhu Long and Deng Feng found this time, 9 of the 9 children kidnapped by Zhang Weiping and others were recovered.

  The four children who have not yet been found are 16 years old and 18 years old. Where will they be?

The kid who was kidnapped for 16 years, his mother recognized his dimple

  Deng Shuhuan and his wife are from Yongxing County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. In 2004, they went to Guangzhou to work in Zengcheng and rented them in Shangwei Village, Shazhuang. Deng Shuhuan’s husband usually goes to the freight yard to work, but she stays in the rental house to do housework and take the children. At that time, Deng Feng, 2 years old, was very cute and laughed, revealing a pair of cute dimples.

  Deng Shuhuan remembered that in September of that year, a man in his 30s lived in a rented room. This person likes to tease Deng Feng, and sometimes buys sweets for his children. On the morning of October 6, Deng Shuhuan's husband had not returned to work. She was cooking at home and Deng Feng ran to the door to play. After about 10 minutes, Deng Shuhuan came out of the kitchen without seeing the child. She inquired nearby, and some people said that she saw Deng Feng being taken out by a man. Deng Shuhuan quickly told her husband and went to the police station to report the case.

  It was Zhang Weiping, the "human trafficker" who took away Deng Feng. After 12 years, Zhang Weiping was arrested. According to his explanation, he took Deng Feng to the Zengcheng urban area, and then contacted the middleman "Aunt Mei". After "Aunt Mei" arrived, he took the bus with him to Zijin County, Heyuan City, and sold the child to a couple in their thirties. "I lied to them and said that this is a child born by my girlfriend and I wanted to give it to someone for adoption and ask for a little maintenance." Zhang Weiping confessed that the other party gave him 12,000 yuan, and he gave "Aunt Mei" a 1,000 yuan introduction fee. .

  After the child was lost, Deng Shuhuan and his wife looked around. It was only after Zhang Weiping was captured by the police in 2016 that the child trafficking case gradually revealed the truth.

  After November 2019, the three abducted children in this case, Chen Qian, Yang Jia, and Shen Cong, were successively recovered by Guangzhou Zengcheng Police. This made Deng Shuhuan and his wife eager to see the hope.

  Before the Spring Festival in 2020, Deng Shuhuan and his wife finally received notice from Zengcheng Police. "They said that the children matched our DNA." Deng Shuhuan desperately wanted to see the children who had been separated for 16 years, but she listened to the police's suggestion that it was inconvenient to recognize relatives during the epidemic. In addition, Deng Feng was about to take the college entrance examination.

  On July 17, the 9th day after Deng Feng took the college entrance examination, Deng Shuhuan and his relatives and friends drove two cars from Hunan to Guangzhou, where they met with Deng Feng at the Zengcheng Public Security Bureau.

  "The child is one and seven meters tall...he is very sunny, and the two dimples on his mouth are still the same as when he was a child..." When Deng Shuhuan and the surging news reporter called on the phone, the statement was somewhat incoherent, and he was even too excited to know what to say. Too.

  On the evening of the 17th, Deng Shuhuan and his wife rushed back to Chenzhou with their son overnight and lived with relatives. The next day, Deng Shuhuan accompanied his son to go hiking in the scenic spots on the outskirts of the city, and then planned to return to his hometown in Yongxing County to "walk relatives."

  On the day of July 17, Deng Shuhuan and his wife met the biological parents of Zhu Long who also came to recognize their relatives in Zengcheng.

  Zhu Long was abducted by Zhang Weiping in July 2004, when he was only 1 year and 2 months old. Zhu Long’s parents came to Chongqing from Chongqing to work in Guangzhou and rented them in Xintang Town, Zengcheng. On the afternoon of July 28 that year, Zhu Long's grandfather took him to play at the door of the rental house. The old man went to the toilet for a while, and when he came back, he could not see the children. It was not until 16 years later that Zhu Long was recovered by the police and recognized with his biological parents.

  Hugs, tears... The scene where parents and children recognize each other is unforgettable. This time Deng Shuhuan and his son recognized their relatives, and Shen Junliang also came to Guangzhou from Shandong to "witness".

  Fifteen years ago, four months after Deng Feng was abducted, Shen Junliang’s 1-year-old son Shen Cong was abducted. The two children were abducted not far from each other, both located in Shazhuang, Shitan Town, Zengcheng, Guangzhou. The two abducted families met each other in the process of looking for children many years ago.

  On March 7 this year, Shen Junliang and his wife came to Guangzhou to recognize Shen Cong, who was recovered by the police. After that, Shen Junliang brought his son back to his hometown in Zhoukou, Henan Province, and helped him transfer to Jinan, Shandong Province.

  In November 2019, three months before Shen Junliang and his son recognized, the kidnapped children Chen Qian and Yang Jia were recovered by the police. They were also abducted by Zhang Weiping 14 years ago. Their biological families are from Guizhou and Sichuan. After recognizing their relatives, Chen Qian and Yang Jia had a separation of emotions and communication with their biological families, and they still live with their adoptive parents.

  Because the kid was abducted that year, Yang Jia's biological family has changed a lot. The verdict of Zhang Weiping’s case of abducting and selling children shows that on June 16, 2008, Yang Jiang, who had been found by his abducted son Yang Jia for three years, failed to take the K356 train from Guangzhou to Dazhou, Sichuan, and passed the Yingde section of Qingyuan City from the car toilet. Jumped off the window and committed suicide.

  "The kid was abducted, which hurt the parents of us too much." Shen Junliang told Peng Mei News, "Must let the traffickers be severely punished by the law." After Zhang Weiping and others were arrested, the Shen and Liang couples were the only ones to bring criminal and civil proceedings. Abducted child's parents.

"Human trafficker": Zhang Weiping pleaded guilty, 4 people appealed, "Aunt Mei" was a mystery

  Zhang Weiping, born in 1971, from Suiyang County, Guizhou Province, is a repeat offender of child trafficking.

  In 1999 and 2010, Zhang Weiping was sentenced to six and seven years in prison in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province for the crime of child trafficking. In March 2016, Zhang Weiping, who had only been released for seven months after being sentenced to death, was detained by the Guangzhou Zengcheng Police. This time he was involved in an “old case” more than a decade ago—trafficking including Shen Cong, Deng Feng and others 9 children.

  According to the first-instance judgment issued in December 2018, the Guangzhou Intermediate Court found that from September 2003 to December 2005, Zhang Weiping was involved in the abduction of 9 children. These children were the youngest 1 year old and the oldest 3 years old.

  Of the nine children’s biological families, four are from Hunan, and the other five are from Henan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Jiangxi and Guizhou. In those years, the parents of these children worked in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, Boluo County, Huizhou and other places. They rented a house locally, and the children were brought by their mothers or grandparents.

  Some family members of the kidnapped children still remember that Zhang Weiping had lived in temporary rental housing around them. This man, who often claims to be a Sichuanese, is about 30 years old, about one meter six or eight meters tall, with dark skin and a little hunchback. He likes to be close to people, especially loves to play with children, and often pays for snacks for children.

  "The purpose is to get acquainted with the child. When he wants to abduct him in the future, he will not cry." Zhang Weiping confessed after he was arrested.

  The Guangzhou Intermediate Court issued a first-instance judgment in December 2018, sentenced Zhang Weiping to death for kidnapping children, deprived him of his political rights for life, and confiscated all his personal property.

  The surging news reporter once heard the trial at the Guangzhou Intermediate Court on November 2, 2018. In court, Zhang Weiping lowered his head most of the time. Near the end of the court hearing, he raised his head and said: "I hope the court will severely sentence me and sentence me to death and execute it immediately. It can be considered as an explanation to the victim's family."

  In the case of Zhang Weiping abducting and selling 9 children, 8 children were directly "started" by him, and then through the "Aunt Mei" to identify buyers. In the case of abducting Shen Cong, there are four other accomplices-all of them are fellow villagers in the same village of Zhang Weiping.

  The first-instance court found that in the case of Shen Cong’s abduction in January 2005, the defendant Chen Shoubi “took the wind” downstairs, and her husband Zhou Rongping was responsible for the response. The other two defendants Yang Chaoping and Liu Zhenghong were transparent Tools such as glue and chili water broke into the rental house rented by Shen Cong’s parents, bound and controlled Shen Cong’s mother at the time, and forcibly took away 1-year-old Shen Cong. After that, Zhou Rongping handed over the child to Zhang Weiping for sale, and the illegal profit of 13,000 yuan was stolen by the persons involved.

  The Guangzhou Intermediate Court sentenced Zhou Rongping to death for child trafficking; Yang Zhaoping and Liu Zhenghong were both sentenced to life imprisonment; Chen Shoubi was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

  Shen Junliang and his wife, who are the plaintiffs in the incidental civil lawsuit, had their claims for compensation dismissed-at the time, Shen Cong had not yet found it, and the court held that the relevant loss could not be ascertained.

  After the verdict of the first-in-one joint crime of trafficking in children, in addition to Zhang Weiping, four defendants, Zhou Rongping and Yang Chaoping, filed an appeal. Shen Junliang and his wife also appealed. The case was seconded by the Guangdong High Court and has not yet been heard.

  In this series of cases of Zhang Weiping’s abduction and trafficking of 9 children, a mysterious figure has not yet surfaced-"Aunt Mei".

  According to Zhang Weiping, the 9 boys he abducted were all introduced by "Aunt Mei" and sold to places like Zijin County in Heyuan City-some locals were affected by patriarchal feudalism and considered foreign boys illegal Adoption goals.

  The price of Zhang Weiping selling children is generally about 12,000 yuan per person. According to his account, after each transaction is completed, he will give "Aunt Mei" an introduction fee of about 1,000 yuan.

  Zhang Weiping was arrested in 2016, but the identity of "Aunt Mei" is difficult to verify. In June 2017, the Guangzhou Zengcheng Police once released a simulated portrait of "Aunt Mei" to solicit clues from the society.

  At the briefing meeting on March 7, 2020, Li Guangri, deputy director of the Zengcheng Branch of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that the "Aunt Mei" clues received from people in many places in the country since 2017 were excluded after verification.

  "There is currently no evidence to directly prove that Aunt Mei exists." Li Guangri said, "Welcome friends from the media and enthusiastic people to provide us with valuable clues."

Continue to look for: When will the 4 children return?

  On July 17, the Guangzhou Zengcheng police reported that two abducted children had been recovered. Ouyang Yanjuan, who got the news, was pleasantly surprised and lost a bit-where is his son who has been abducted for 15 years now?

  Ouyang Yanjuan is a native of Daoxian County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. Her son Li Qing is one of nine children abducted and sold by Zhang Weiping.

  It was 2005. Ouyang Yanjuan took her 1-year-old child to Boluo County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province with her husband Li Shuquan. Li Shuquan usually works as a mason on a nearby construction site, while Ouyang Yanjuan takes children in a rental house. In July of that year, a man who claimed to be from Sichuan came to the door and met Li Shuquan's family.

  "He said he was surnamed Wang, and his family was poor, so he came out to look for work." Li Shuquan sympathized with "Xiao Wang" at that time. When he saw that his foot was injured, he took him to the clinic and paid for the injury himself, and left him at home. After a week or so, he helped him find a job at a construction site.

  Ouyang Yanjuan remembers that at that time, "Xiao Wang" rented opposite his house and often came to visit. "Xiao Wang" likes to tease children, and Ouyang Yanjuan's son Li Qing is willing to be held by him when he is familiar with him. On the afternoon of August 7, that year, "Xiao Wang" came over to hug the child. "He said to take my son to buy buns opposite." Ouyang Yanjuan gave the child to "Xiao Wang". But after "Xiao Wang" took the child out, he never returned.

  It wasn't until 11 years later that Ouyang Yanjuan and Li Shuquan and his wife knew that the "Xiao Wang" who took the children back then was really named Zhang Weiping.

  On November 2, 2017, the case of Zhang Weiping's trafficking of children was tried by the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court. Li Shuquan came to the court to listen. As he approached the adjournment, he suddenly stood up and asked Zhang Weiping aloud: "We are so good to you, why did you do such a thing?" Zhang Weiping sitting in the defendant's seat lowered his head and did not answer.

  On March 7, 2020, Shen Junliang recognized his son Shen Cong in Zengcheng, Guangzhou. The couple of Li Shuquan and Ouyang Yanjuan also rushed over, hoping to be "happy."

  On July 17, it was learned that the Zengcheng police had recovered two abducted children. Ouyang Yanjuan felt that her son, who had been separated for 15 years, was "closer and closer" to herself. She immediately called the police in Zengcheng District Public Security Bureau to investigate.

  "Captain He told me that they will continue to do their best to find." Ouyang Yanjuan told Peng Pai News that she looks forward to seeing her son as soon as possible. "If it can be found before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

  Today, the nine children trafficked by Zhang Weiping and others have been recovered by the police. The four children who have not been found, in addition to Ouyang Yanjuan's son Li Qing, also have Zhong Lin, Liu Ming, and Ouyang Hao.

  Zhong Lin, who was born in July 2003, was abducted in Shiwan Town, Boluo County, Huizhou City on December 31, 2004. His biological parents are from Jiangxi;

  Liu Ming, born in July 2002, was abducted in Shiwan Town, Boluo County, Huizhou City on October 7, 2003. His biological parents are from Hunan;

  Ouyang Hao, born in November 2002, was abducted in Xiancun Town, Zengcheng, Guangzhou on May 26, 2005. His biological parents are from Hunan.

  According to Zhang Weiping, he handled and sold 9 children, all of whom were taken by "Aunt Mei" to meet the buyer. Except that Liu Ming sold it to Daling Town, Huidong County, the other 8 children were all in Zijin County, Heyuan City. Seal the deal.

  From November 2019 to July this year, the Guangzhou Zengcheng police have successively recovered the five abducted children in this case and made three notifications. Each notification mentioned that the police used the "wisdom new policing" technology to continuously shrink, Lock the search range of abducted children.

  Shen Junliang, who has been searching for children for 15 years, used to look for children by posting a tracing notice, asking questions and asking for clues, and also offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for clues, but no results were obtained. He later lamented that looking for the kidnapped children still had to rely on the police’s “new technology”. “Now that the technology is getting more and more advanced, I believe there are 4 more children who can get it back.

  The Zengcheng Sub-bureau of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau stated in a report on July 17 that it will continue to take measures to "relentlessly search for other children who have been abducted."
