Yan'an, Shaanxi: Three boys disappear at the entrance of the village at the same time
In 2007, after Feng Qian, the son of Feng Shehong in Fengjia Village, Yongxiang Town, Luochuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, disappeared, Feng Shehong also traveled across the country to find his son, like Guo Gangtang.
At about 2:30 pm on January 27, 2007, at the entrance of Liu Yaoke Village, Yongxiang Town, 10-year-old Feng Qian rode a bicycle, 5-year-old Liu Kun and 7-year-old Liu Wenbo rode a stroller, both Liu Kun and Liu Wenbo It is Feng Qian's cousin, the three of them play together.
Because there are more cars on the road, Liu Wenbo's father let the three children go home together. Later, the three children disappeared together, and the bicycle and the stroller were left behind.
"There is no way. After the child was abducted from the family, he began to find relatives to raise money. I bought a car around July 2007 and went to look for it outside. I spent a lot of money after running for a few years and owed a lot of foreign debts. There was no other way, so I didn't run again." Feng Shehong told The Paper.
When Feng Shehong first went to various places to look for his son, Feng Shehong took his wife, Monk's young daughter, and posted missing persons notices everywhere.
Later, Feng Qian's grandfather and grandmother died one after another. Grandpa got Alzheimer's disease. He sat at the door and called Feng Qian's name every day, hoping that his grandson could go home soon.
Feng Qian's sister has also grown into a big girl, and since she was three years old, she knew she had to save money to find her brother.
Feng Qian's disappearance cast a shadow over Feng Shehong's family, guarding her daughter every step of the way.
The parents of Liu Kun and Liu Wenbo are also in the pain of losing their children.
"After the son disappeared, we lived a life of pain. The pain of separation of flesh and blood is unimaginable." After Liu Kun disappeared, his parents had another son. This son’s birthday is the same month and the same day as Liu Kun. Whenever his brother celebrates his birthday At the time, parents would think of Liu Kun, and Liu Kun’s father said so when he talked about his experience over the years.
"Maodan, the clothes you wore when you were a child are kept by your mother forever, as well as the textbooks you studied at school. Mom keeps them for you all the time. Mom waits for you to come back. There is also this winter homework that you haven't finished. Mom is waiting for you to come back and finish this homework." Liu Wenbo's nickname is Maodan. His mother has never traveled far away. In order to find her son, she bought maps of many places and saved a lot of tickets, and interviewed on a video program. In, she said so.
The wall calendar on the wall of Liu Wenbo's old house was from 2007 and has not been changed since.
Zhengzhou, Henan: Traffickers cheated grandma and took granddaughter away
Different from Feng Qian's disappearance, when Liang Yanqiang's daughter in Xinmi City, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province was taken away, the grandmother of the child saw the whole process.
Liang Yanqiang's wife opened a cultural tutoring class. June 9th, 2007, was on Saturday. The tutoring class had a lot of work. Three-year-old Liang Hanwen followed his grandmother to clean the road.
At about 11 a.m. that day, in the middle section of Xingfu Street, Xinmi City, an accident happened. A black car stopped beside Liang Hanwen and his grandmother and took the two into the car.
The vehicle drove away to about one kilometer away from Liang Yanqiang's home and drove Liang Hanwen's grandma off the vehicle.
Grandma Liang Hanwen later recalled that there was a man and a woman in the car at the time, and when communicating with her, she lied that she was asked to help move things to induce her to get on the car.
"I used to have a happy family. Our lovely daughter Liang Hanwen was born in April 2004. The arrival of her daughter brought endless joy to our warm family. Her daughter was well-behaved and sensible at home, clever, and lovely. Children.” Liang Yanqiang and his wife also have a son who is older than the missing daughter. He was originally a family with both children, so one is missing.
After the loss of his daughter, Liang Yanqiang immediately reported to the police, but the case has not made any progress until now.
In order to find his daughter, Liang Yanqiang left his hometown again and again, but until now, there is still no news.
"At that time, our family and relatives posted missing persons notices everywhere, in newspapers, on the Internet, and on TV. What is even more annoying is that there are some inhuman scammers who called us and sent us money to defraud us. The message said that we knew my daughter's whereabouts and asked us to remit money to him. At that time, we were eager to seek women, so we sent them money. We sent money again and again, and we were deceived again and again." Liang Yanqiang said.
Liang Yanqiang's family no longer has the laughter and laughter of the past. Every holiday, other people's families are happily celebrating the festival, but they are holding pictures of their children and washing their faces with tears.
"During the 14 years since my daughter left, we dare not miss any information, but things went against our wishes, and each ended in disappointment. Just after Han Wen was abducted, grandma fell ill because of frequent self-blame, and grandpa was also angry. Suffering from Alzheimer's, I often shout, Ni, come back, come back..." Liang Yanqiang said.
At the end of 2014, Liang Yanqiang's parents passed away one after another, and the two died only one week apart.
The two old men did not see their little granddaughter in the end, and left them forever with regret.
The death of the two old men also dealt a heavy blow to Liang Yanqiang and plunged him into deep self-blame.
Now, Liang Hanwen should be 17 years old. On her birthday every year, her parents will buy a cake to help her make a wish, hoping that she will return to her parents as soon as possible, and the family will be reunited.
Fuxin, Liaoning: Grandma fell into self-blame after her granddaughter was abducted
Traffickers always target the opportunities of the elderly to watch their children.
Like Liang Hanwen, the disappearance of Faye Wong, a 10-year-old girl from Fuxin, Liaoning Province, was also a result of traffickers taking advantage of the situation.
Faye Wong’s home is in Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County, Liaoning Province. Because her parents are busy with business outside, they rarely have time to take care of the young Faye Wong. Faye Wong was brought up by her grandparents, so she is very close to her grandparents.
According to her grandmother's memories, Faye Wong was a particularly well-behaved child, and she didn't talk much. Sometimes after school, other friends were playing outside, but she went home early to do homework.
Although Faye Wong is young, she is very sensible. Grandma said that every time she buys something delicious, she must first give it to her grandparents to eat the first bite, and then eat it herself.
On August 27, 2008, it was the birthday of Faye Wong's grandma (Faye Wong's father's grandma). Faye Wong, who was supposed to attend an English tutoring class, stayed with her cousin who was five months younger than her at her grandma's house and did not go to class.
In the afternoon that day, my grandmother gave the brothers and sisters a dollar each, and the two 10-year-old children were very happy to buy snacks at the canteen in front of the house.
On the way to buy ice cream, the siblings had a disagreement and went to two grocery stores to buy their own.
After the cousin got home, grandma found that Faye Wong hadn't come back, so she went out to look for it, with no results.
Later, the owner of the commissary recalled that Faye Wong bought an ice cream in the afternoon and was choosing other snacks while eating. Later, he bought a can of eight-treasure porridge and left.
"Over the years, I have been to many places across the country, but to no avail." Faye Wong's father Wang Jinhai said.
Elderly grandparents missed their young granddaughter, and their physical condition was worse than before.
The small schoolbag that grandma arranged for Faye Wong back then still stays with her.
The greatest wish of the old man is to see Faye Wong again.
