Chinanews.com, Hangzhou, March 2 (Letter from Guo Qiyu, Zhang Feiyan, and Wang School) On February 28, 2023, for the family of Xiaomei (pseudonym), a villager in Chichuankou Village, Fenkou Town, Chun'an County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, it was a long wait. 20 years of special days.
On this day, her sister Xiaoling (pseudonym), who had been missing for 20 years, finally appeared in front of her family. The family reunited after a long absence, embracing and crying.
Xiaoling's mother recalled that in June 2003, Xiaoling was going to Hangzhou to work. Her father bought a ticket early in the morning and sent Xiaoling to the car. Unexpectedly, she lost contact with her daughter when she left.
The whole family was very anxious when they couldn't contact Xiaoling, so their father and aunt went to Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places to look for her.
In the past 20 years, they have been to many provinces, and even went as far as Shandong to find relatives, but there has been no news.
Over the years, Xiaoling's family has been in constant contact with the local police station. Every time there is a possible clue, the police will help to verify it. However, due to the limited conditions at the time, Xiaoling's whereabouts and clues have not been found.
"We never gave up on the search. We even contacted Xiaoling's parents to compare the information after receiving the information on the verification of the unknown female corpse. After establishing the missing persons information database, we entered Xiaoling's information into the database." Chun The person in charge of the Fenkou Police Station of the An County Public Security Bureau said.

When Xiao Ling left home, she could only use the phone to communicate. The family members were afraid to log off the phone in order to wait for her news.
A few years ago, before Xiaoling's father passed away, he was still thinking about his daughter who had not yet returned home.
One morning in 2022, my younger sister Xiaomei saw someone like her on Douyin, and felt that the profile picture looked very much like her sister who had been missing for many years.
Xiaomei immediately clicked on this person's information, but she could only see the avatar but could not read the content.
Xiaomei wanted to contact the other party through the system, but failed through many methods, so she asked the Fenkou Police Station for help.
"We thought that the emergence of this clue might be a major turning point, so we asked for help from the Synthetic Operations Center of the Chun'an County Public Security Bureau. After online analysis and judgment, we confirmed that this person is currently in Tiantai, Taizhou." The deputy director of the Fenkou Police Station who was on duty that day Zhang Jun said.
On February 28, Zhang Jun and Xiaomei's family rushed to the rooftop together, and found Xiaoling with the help of the local police.
When she heard the police talking to her in dialect, Xiao Ling's eyes instantly became moist.
Xiao Ling said that when she left home, she was young and wanted to venture out, fearing that her family would not understand her and dare not contact her. Later, her life was full of twists and turns, and she was embarrassed to contact her family, so she cruelly broke off contact with her family.
Last year, Xiao Ling inadvertently followed her sister's Douyin account while using Douyin, and she followed her silently until she clicked a like and regained this family relationship.
