The twin sister
Henan girl who was
"brushed" out of the
video found "another self" on the short video platform, and verified that they were both adopted; the two sides decided not to do DNA identification for the time being
Cheng Keke, who lives in Gongyi, Henan, is the darling of the family.
My mother is always responsive to her requests; the first money earned by her elder brother's part-time job bought her gifts; my father always gave her more pocket money than other classmates.
I have been doted by my family for thirty years.
Cheng Keke accidentally "brushed" a person who looked exactly like himself on the short video software.
The two are 58 kilometers apart, and curiosity like a hand is constantly pushing her to intersect with the girl named Zhang Li.
She just wanted to answer one question, "Why are we so alike?"
After several twists and turns, the secrets that had been hidden for more than 30 years were made public, and the mothers of the two parties collapsed.
Angry, crying, and refusing to communicate, they protested to the children.
Cheng Keke and Zhang Li rushed to Gongyi, Dengfeng and Zhengzhou to appease their mother's emotions.
"Mothers have lost their sense of security and trust in us." Cheng Keke said.
"Brush" to another self
On the evening of January 9, Zhang Li from Dengfeng City, Henan Province received a private message from Cheng Keke for the first time.
That afternoon, when Cheng Keke’s sister-in-law was watching a short video, she saw a girl who looked exactly like her sister-in-law Cheng Keke.
"Isn't this Keke?" The family turned out Cheng Keke's photos and compared them back and forth. Even Cheng Keke's two-year-old daughter called her mother to the video.
"It feels very strange. The two people look like everywhere. The only difference is that there is a mole on the top of my right eyebrow. She doesn't." Cheng Keke was very curious. She took the initiative to send a private message to the girl in the video, Zhang Li, and asked half-jokingly. We look alike, would you like to ask your parents, how many children do you have?"
Zhang Li didn't respond.
Three days later, Cheng Keke sent Zhang Li another life photo.
Zhang Li found that the two did have similarities, but Zhang Li still felt that "she may be a liar."
Zhang Li added Cheng Keke's WeChat with the intention of breaking through the liar.
Once added, Cheng Keke took the initiative to post many photos.
Zhang Li looked more and more like herself, and sent a photo in the past.
"There are more people like in the world, it's just a coincidence." Zhang Li didn't think much.
Only one sentence, "We look alike." The topic ended.
Cheng Keke really wants to know what kind of person this girl who looks similar to her is, and she always chats with Zhang Li one after another.
She told Zhang Li that she had a daughter who was more than two years old.
Zhang Li also told her that her son was eleven and her daughter was six and a half years old.
Cheng Keke talked to her with the child as the topic.
But every time Cheng Keke wanted to make a video with Zhang Li, he was declined.
It wasn't until nearly a month of meeting that Zhang Li, who had let go of her guard, agreed to video with Cheng Keke.
When the video was connected, both of them were stunned. They had the same double eyelids, wide eye distance, collapsed nose bridge, blunt nose, thin upper lip, and a bit wide jaws. "It's almost like looking in a mirror."
Cheng Keke asked Zhang Li, "Sister, why are we so similar?"
Zhang Li was also stunned, "I thought it was a prank, but I didn't expect that we were really alike."
"Why don't you ask Auntie, have you lost a girl in your family?" Cheng Keke said.
Zhang Li couldn't laugh or cry, "Imagination is too rich, how can I ask my mother?"
"It seems that I have been cloned"
Within two days, Cheng Keke couldn't help but want to see Zhang Li.
"It's more exciting than online dating." She went from Gongyi to Dengfeng and asked Zhang Li to eat hot pot.
After meeting, they discovered that not only did they look alike, they were very similar in height, body shape, and even their voices—Zhang Li was 1.55 meters tall, and Cheng Keke was 1.57 meters. They all spoke quickly, with a very urgent tone, and their voices were loud and loud.
When it comes to interesting places, they will raise the volume and laugh together.
Zhang Li felt incredible, "Isn't this the second me? It feels like I've been cloned."
The two began to find common ground. They both had four tiger fangs and a blue birthmark on their bodies that was larger than a dollar coin. Cheng Keke had a mole under his left eye, and Zhang Li was growing under his right eye.
They also found that the two people even have many hobbies, like singing and spicy food, and both are heavy mahjong fans...
"What's even more amazing is that we both wore the same style of sweater that day. Zhang Li was off-white, and I was bright white." Cheng Keke said.
"It feels like at first sight, but it's natural and not embarrassing." When they met for the first time, the two agreed to get along as good girlfriends in the future.
But after that day, Cheng Keke could feel that Zhang Li's attitude towards her was more indifferent than before.
At the end of February, Cheng Keke discovered that the blood types of both people were type B.
"It's a bit shocked." She asked Zhang Li's birthday again, which was the second day of the seventh lunar month in 1991, and it was the eighth day of July.
Cheng Keke murmured inwardly, "Are we really related by blood?"
Zhang Li had this idea when she first met Cheng Keke.
"It feels like we should not just look like that simple." She guessed that her family was poor in childhood. Maybe her mother gave birth to twins, and she couldn't afford it and could only reluctantly send one away.
She was the one who was lucky enough to be left behind by her mother.
After the first meeting, she tried her mother many times, but her mother kept avoiding it.
Zhang Li sent her a photo of the two of them, and Mother Zhang said: "It's not like at all, they look better than you." Before she could ask any more, Mother Zhang said solemnly: "Stop this topic and don't do it again in the future. Mention." With this level of concern, she became more and more indifferent to Cheng Keke.
After learning that the two blood types were the same, Cheng Keke took Zhang Li's video and asked Cheng Mu, who is this?
My mother looked back and forth many times and said, "Isn't this you?"
She asked her mother, "Am I an adopted child?" At first, Cheng's mother was unwilling to admit it. After repeated inquiries, Cheng's mother was calm and serious and said: "You are married and become a mother. I will tell you the truth. You were indeed adopted."
The mystery of life experience
Cheng Keke couldn't help it anymore, and she asked Zhang Li many times to meet.
"I have a relatively straightforward personality, and I have to figure out something."
Zhang Li felt a little annoyed and refused to communicate further.
She said that in the process of meeting the two, she had always been the passive one.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on March 19, Zhang Li, who was sleeping, was woken up by Cheng Keke's phone call.
On the phone, she was told that Cheng Keke was already on his way to Dengfeng with the media and some relatives, and wanted to know the situation.
"I think Zhang Li ignored me because she still didn't trust me, so I asked a third-party media to help." Cheng Keke said.
Zhang Li was very dumb, so nervous that her legs were shaking, but she felt that "it is not appropriate for them to be near the door of the house."
In fact, the night before, Cheng Keke was so nervous that he had insomnia.
"Will we two cry with a headache? Will we be speechless with excitement?"
This is the second time the two have met.
Cheng Keke took his mother, aunts, uncles, mother-in-law, daughters and the media, a huge group of people.
"The relatives in the family are all curious and want to know how much we are alike."
In the video shot by the media, Cheng Mu got out of the car and saw Zhang Li with a face full of surprise. She repeatedly said, "It's really like Nier." She even embraced Zhang Li excitedly and started crying, "For so many years, I never thought there would be someone so similar to my own daughter."
Zhang Li couldn't help crying either.
She remembered Cheng's mother crying and saying, "I should have known that these two girls are sisters, I might as well take both of them back. I even let them be separated for thirty years."
Cheng's mother also recalled to them that before Cheng Keke was adopted by her, he had tossed around two families.
The first two families both raised them for two days and said that the children were too young and too difficult to feed, and they were sent out again.
When Cheng Keke arrived at Cheng's mother's house on the eighth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 1991, the child would not cry at that time, and babbled like a cat.
On March 22, Cheng Keke took the media to Zhang Li's hometown.
Zhang Li's grandma is 80 years old. The old man looked at Cheng Keke, and people around her repeatedly asked her, "Who is this?" Grandma took her hand and said, "This is my granddaughter Zhang Li."
Then when Zhang Li came in, her grandmother was blindfolded, holding one of her left and right hands, swinging her head back and forth to look at the two people.
"Ohhhhh, I recognize my granddaughter, she really looks like it." She held Cheng Keke's hand and kept raising and lowering it.
Grandma confirmed that Zhang Li was also adopted.
Thirty years ago, Zhang Li's mother and aunt took Zhang Li home from Gongyi.
"She is a premature baby. She was born less than ten days ago. It is so small and scary." Grandma said as she gestured the length of a shoe with her hand.
Facing the media footage, the two stated that they would do DNA testing and use scientific methods to confirm their blood relationship.
Disturbed mothers
But as soon as the statement was finished, the mothers on both sides reacted fiercely.
They oppose DNA testing, and are haunted by a strong sense of insecurity-is my daughter going to admit her relatives and leaving this home?
The video of the meeting between the two parties was edited out of context on the Internet and then transmitted back to the mothers' mobile phones.
At one time, they thought that their daughter, who had been raising hard for 30 years, had silently guarded the secrets of their life experience for 30 years, and all of them had been exposed.
Mother Cheng saw a video showing Keke and Zhang Li crying while holding Zhang Li's grandmother, with the text "Cheng Keke found relatives".
She thought that Zhang Li's parents were Cheng Keke's biological parents, so she began to cry at home.
Cheng Keke once had a four-year-old brother who died eight years ago.
Cheng's mother is worried, after the child she has raised for 30 years, will she be left out in the cold?
Zhang's mother's rejection is stronger.
She saw a video of Cheng's mother hugging the two and crying from the Internet, and thought that Cheng's mother was Zhang Li's biological mother.
She didn't answer Zhang Li's phone calls, WeChat did not answer, and videos did not answer.
The family members took turns to persuade, but they were all rejected by Zhang's mother.
Zhang Li's brother called and said that Zhang Li was already 30 years old and should have the right to know her own life experience.
Mother Zhang replied: "Do you want her to find her biological parents?"
After many enlightenment by the family, Mother Zhang finally let go.
She told Zhang Li that before adopting Zhang Li, Zhang's father suddenly had a car accident and died. At that time, Zhang's mother was already pregnant with her second child, and she was not far from giving birth.
Mother Zhang gave birth prematurely because of excessive grief, but the child was born with sepsis and died within three months.
Grandma is worried that she will remarry and leave this home.
Mother Zhang said to her grandma, "I won't leave, let's adopt another child, and a family of four will live together."
At that time, Mother Zhang's uncle was working in a coal mine in Gongyi. The uncle helped her find out that there was an unmarried and pregnant mother in the mine who wanted to find someone to adopt.
Mother Zhang spent 600 yuan to take a baby girl back.
Mother Zhang said that she personally took Zhang Li from Gongyi back to her hometown in Luoyang. When she heard that Cheng Keke, who was exactly like her daughter, found Zhang Li from Gongyi, she naturally thought that Zhang Li's biological parents had come to have children from Gongyi.
Zhang Li explained to her mother that Cheng Keke was also adopted, and Zhang's mother didn't believe it.
"How can such a coincidence happen? Cheng Keke and her mother joined hands to lie to you."
From that day on, Mother Zhang still refused to communicate with Zhang Li.
Zhang Li wanted to bring Cheng Keke to see her mother. Only when Cheng Keke said that she was adopted, her mother would no longer be angry and jealous.
On March 27, Zhang's mother met Cheng Keke for the first time by a park on Shangding Road in Zhengzhou.
She asked Mother Zhang, "Who do you think I am?" Mother Zhang did not recognize him, "You are my daughter Xiaoli."
After Zhang Li appeared, Mother Zhang suddenly realized, "The truth is, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell it."
Zhang Li assured Mother Zhang, "You put your heart in your stomach, I am not looking for my biological parents, I just want to confirm with Cheng Keke whether there is a blood relationship."
Hearing this, Mother Zhang squeezed her hands awkwardly, gradually reduced her smile, pressed her lips hard, her eyes flushed and said, "I don't care what you do." Then she walked to the side to avoid the camera and wipe her tears.
There was a group of people around Zhang's mother, and everyone was persuading her, "You will become an extra girlfriend", "Don't worry, Zhang Li will not leave you."
Mother Zhang lowered her head and allowed the persuasion of the people around her, but crossed her arms in front of her chest without making any sign.
Just when everyone felt that persuasion was ineffective and ready to leave, Zhang's mother suddenly said, "You don't need to do tests to waste money. They are twins."
She said, "At the beginning, an intermediary in the Gongyi coal mine that my uncle was looking for said that there was a pair of twin premature girls, but the conditions at the family were so poor that they could not afford to support them. He only took back a large one and left a small one. ."
Mother Zhang recalled that the twins’ birthday was on the second day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 1991.
When she went to pick up the baby, the baby was wrapped in a dark brown stained cloth, weighing only three kilograms.
Into each other's lives
This is the most fantastic period of the two girls, from brushing to "the other self" to discovering their own lives, which is like a stage in a TV series.
"If it didn't happen to me, I would be the same as netizens. The first reaction would be suspicion. This would not be a hype?" Cheng Keke said, "but such a coincidental thing really happened and it happened to me."
They have become the celebrities in Dengfeng. When shopping, there are always shop assistants who will ask, "You are twins on the Internet? Really!" They can be recognized by passers-by on the road, "Are you the twin sisters of Internet celebrities? I am a Parent-child video blogger, do you want to monetize your traffic?"
Some people also began to find them in the name of confession.
The other party told them that an elder in the family gave birth to twin girls in Henan in 1991 and had to give them away.
In order to recognize relatives in the future, the elders used scissors to draw a line above the right eyebrows of the two baby girls.
Zhang Li said that both of them had a thin scar just above their right eyebrows.
But the birth time that this person said was the twenty-fifth month of the first lunar month, which was inconsistent with their birth month in the seventh lunar month.
Zhang Li also recalled that in the first and second grades of elementary school, a woman came to the door of her class and came to see her with biscuits, instant noodles, and AD calcium milk.
The man simply asked her about studying and living and left. She vaguely remembered that the woman looked a little like herself.
Soon after school, the neighbor's aunt quietly told her that there was a woman who looked a lot like her, and Zhang's mother didn't even let her in.
Zhang Li was very young at the time, but looking back now, she also feels a bit weird.
Both Zhang Li and Cheng Keke said they could not accept the passive recognition of relatives that might happen in the future.
"If they want to come to us, why did they go there in the first 30 years? Why didn't they come and look for them? Now they come when they see us on the Internet, so we don't recognize them." Zhang Li said.
Cheng Keke nodded in agreement.
She said that she was even afraid that her biological parents would come to us. She wanted to wait until the mothers were emotionally stable and everyone had no worries before making plans.
After nearly three months of acquaintance and tearing, both of them were tired.
Not only did they suffer from insomnia, their weight also plummeted.
They discovered that many people were present during the few meetings.
The two hadn't had time to sit down and talk about their vacant 30 years of life, and they didn't even have the time and opportunity to get to know each other well.
Zhang Li said that she is a careless person, but Cheng Keke is more direct than her.
With Cheng Keke, Zhang Li always looks like her sister, "Cheng Keke is like a child, heartless, carefree."
On March 30, Zhang Li brought her mother to Cheng's home in Gongyi City to see Cheng Keke and Cheng Mu. The two mothers sat together facing the camera. They did not look at each other, and both bowed their heads.
When asked how they felt when their daughter's life experience was discovered, the mothers covered their faces and cried.
Cheng Keke slowly stroked her mother's back and said, "If we don't leave, we will be our sisters and we will go to each other's house." Zhang Li also comforted her mother, "I won't run. What are you afraid of? ?"
They decided for the time being not to do DNA testing first.
Instead, they enter each other's lives with new identities.
