China News Service, Huzhou, July 9th (Shi Zinan and Lu Zhipeng) "Mom, I came to Huzhou specially at that time just to find you..." On the 9th, in a private house in Bianshan Village, Hongqiao Town, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Li Jingyuan snuggled up beside her old mother and told the story of her leaving home for more than 60 years.

　　Speaking of his "trip home", Li Jingyuan bluntly said "it's like a dream", "I was about to give up, but I didn't expect to find my relatives one day."

　　60 years ago, Li Jingyuan, who was born only three days ago, was sent to the Huzhou Welfare Institute by his parents.

　　"The difference between the third brother and the second brother was one year old. At that time, the family was poor and had no food, so they could only reluctantly send the third brother away." Zheng Yimou was the eldest brother in the family. He was only 4 years old when the third brother was born, and he only vaguely remembered his family. Can't open the pot.

　　When he grew up, Zheng Yimou also heard his parents talk about the third brother many times, "We wanted to find it too, but we couldn't find it. When I asked the person who sent the third brother away, the other party couldn't tell what happened. Later, the other party passed away and the third brother died. The clues are completely cut off.”

　　"Every New Year, I miss this child. I don't know whether he is still alive or not. My child must feel distressed." Wang Cuiying, an 82-year-old mother this year, said that this incident has become the heart of the whole family. Stones that never let go.

　　Until April 27, 2022, a piece of good news came.

It turned out that Li Jingyuan, the third brother, who was taken in by a good-hearted family in Shandong by chance, has been asking around for information about his relatives, and finally found his family through the Nanxun Dream Realization Volunteer Association.

　　"When the dream volunteers sent the photos, I thought it was my younger brother, because I looked too much like my father, and we were really happy." Zheng Yimou said that after doing a paternity test with his mother, the results showed that Li Jingyuan is his third brother.

　　Speaking of this trip to find relatives, Li Jingyuan bluntly said that it was particularly rough and difficult.

Li Jingyuan learned from the words of his friends that he was "adopted from the south" since he was a child.

After graduating from junior high school, he started a long journey to find relatives.

　　Finding relatives is not an easy task.

In 1989, by a chance coincidence, Li Jingyuan came to Huzhou specially when he learned that he might have been adopted from the Huzhou Welfare Institute.

　　Later, after learning about the incident, the Nanxun Dream Realization Volunteer Association carried out a series of visits and finally helped Li Jingyuan find his family.

　　Returning to this home that he had been away from for 60 years, Li Jingyuan was no stranger at all. Looking at his family members, he seemed to have never left.

　　"I really appreciate the help of Nanxun Dream Realization volunteers. They fulfilled my 'reunion dream'. After recognizing my relatives, I will definitely cherish this hard-won affection." Li Jingyuan said.
