Mr. Guo said that when he got out of the Myanmar police station on the afternoon of April 4 and got into the car, he thought he was going to be sold to the next company. Until more than ten minutes later, standing on the pickup truck, he saw the words "South Umbrella" at the port, and when he looked down, he saw his mother standing there.
He was finally rescued from a wire trap.
The police involved in the rescue also revealed to the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter that Xiao Guo had been successfully rescued.
The South Umbrella is the port from Zhenkang to Laojie. Lao Wang said in an interview with reporters that she is a native of Huludao, Liaoning, and her 27-year-old son Xiao Guo went to Kokang Old Street in Myanmar in 2021, and she previously stayed in a hotel for 20 yuan a night in Zhenkang to eat millet she brought. A few days after Lao Wang returned home from Zhenkang, he received news that the child had arrived at the police station in Myanmar, but he still needed to pay a "ransom" of more than 26,<> yuan to the "company" in Myanmar.
Her son once persuaded her to give up, but Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just unwilling." From northeast to southwest, from southwest to northeast, Lao Wang turned the road of finding a son into a family of three.
On April 4, Lao Wang got up early in the morning, withdrew the money stored in the bank, and prepared to pick up his son. In the past two days, she finally raised the remaining more than 3,4 "ransoms". At 2 p.m., she followed the police to the port, while her husband stayed at the Zhenkang County Public Security Bureau in Yunnan to wait.
The square of the port was quiet, and there were few people. At about 5 o'clock, Lao Wang finally saw the two oncoming cars, as well as his son, who had not been seen in the pickup truck for more than a year, surrounded by armed Burmese police. She handed the "ransom" in the bag to the other party, who left after a bundle.
When the mother and son met, they couldn't say anything for a while. "When I arrived, I didn't have anything to say, and when he looked at me, I looked at him, and my mother cried." Lao Wang said.
After almost a 20-minute drive from the port to the Zhenkang County Public Security Bureau, Lao Wang and his son did not talk much, and the son had been chatting with the police.
"When you really experience it, you will know, and then you will not know what to say." Xiao Guo told reporters.
When he got out of the car, his father Lao Guo finally saw his son. Xiao Guo went to take notes, and Lao Wang and Lao Guo waited in the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau. When it was almost dark, Xiao Guo came out after completing all the formalities. Lao Wang took his son's hand and the family returned to the hotel. When the hotel owner went upstairs and asked if the family was crowded and if they wanted to add a room, the old Guo outside the door refused.
"The two women in the house are going to talk all night." Mr. Wang said that the three of them slept in the same bed at night and kept talking about Xiao Guo's experience in Myanmar. But when asked by a reporter what Xiao Guo wanted to say to his mother, he said that he had not yet said, "Go home and talk about it." ”
After being rescued, Xiao Guo told reporters that he went to Shenzhen in 2021 to look for a job, and a friend introduced him to work in the "Golden Triangle" on the border of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos to work in a high-paying job.
They were smuggled from Ruili to Myanmar, and before they reached their destination, he realized something was wrong and fled to the local police station. But he was later sold several times in two days, and finally sold to a company in Kokang Old Street, where he lived and "worked" in a fully enclosed five-story building called "Jiufang 2", guarded by armed men at the door.
Xiao Guo's health looked good, and he was beaten in Myanmar without leaving injuries, but he delayed the treatment of tuberculosis before, and Lao Wang said that he would go back and cure the disease as soon as possible.
Mr. Wang said they sold a third donkey and a tricycle at home, borrowed money everywhere, pooled 22,<> yuan and rushed to Zhenkang first. Part of it is cash, in a bag, and part is kept in the bank. Since leaving home, this black bag has not left Lao Wang's body.
Lao Wang said that he would have to pay off the debt of more than 20,<> yuan in the second half of his life. Xiao Guo also said that he should find a job to pay off debts. When asked by reporters what job he wanted to look for, Xiao Guo said: "Anyway, it is the kind that the state allows." ”
After his son picked him up, at 3 p.m. the next day, the family of three boarded a shuttle bus to Kunming to bid farewell to the border city. "Not anymore." Lao Wang said.
