The last father of the prototype of "Darling" investigates new clues

Traveled around looking for his son for 12 years to celebrate his 18th birthday

Du Xiaohua, one of the prototypes of the movie "Dear", posted on social media that he had found suspected clues about his son Du Houqi (young name "Xiaomi Qi"), who had been missing for 12 years, and rushed to Ordos, Inner Mongolia to look for it. On April 4, Du Xiaohua told a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily that he "is waiting for the results of the police investigation and will not give up any opportunity to find the child."

The Xiaomi adopter remains unlocked, and the police have issued a notice of assistance

On March 2011, 3, while Du Xiaohua's family was working in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Du Houqi, who was only 6 years old, disappeared in Dulonggui Village, Houdingding, a machine factory in Qingshan District, Baotou City. Since then, Du Xiaohua has traveled around the country looking for his son.

In 2014, the "anti-trafficking" film "Dear" was screened nationwide, which was adapted from the search experiences of four real people, Peng Gaofeng , Wu Liping , Sun Haiyang , and Du Xiaohua. At present, Peng Gaofeng , Wu Liping , Sun Haiyang have successively recognized their abducted relatives, and only Du Xiaohua's family has not been reunited with the prototype of the movie "Dear".

Recently, an online investigation notice showed that Du Xiaohua received a clue provided by a netizen and handed it over to the police, saying that the younger brother of Wang, a woman in Dongsheng District, Ordos City, adopted a six- or seven-year-old Jiangxi boy around 2012. In this regard, Du Xiaohua told the Beiqing News reporter that this clue came from netizens on the Douyin platform, and the age of the child in the clue, the time of arrival at the buyer and the general characteristics were closer to Xiaomi Qi, "I have a higher degree of recognition of this clue in my heart, although I am not <>% sure, but I am always at ease."

Around this clue, Du Xiaohua has recently traveled frequently to Baotou, Ordos and other places. Du Xiaohua revealed that the police had contacted Wang, a family member of the suspected son buyer, but the adoption was denied by Wang. At present, the adopter of the child is still not locked up, and the police are investigating it.

On April 4, Du Xiaohua shouted to the buyer through social media: "You can't hide or hide, it's still too late to contact me." At the same time, he told the Beiqing News reporter that the Ordos police have made great efforts, and the local education department has taken the initiative to cooperate with the clues of "Xiaomiqi", and mobilized local teachers to identify and post photos of missing persons.

Du Xiaohua said: "Special thanks to the help of all parties in Ordos, we will not give up any opportunity to find children." ”

He traveled around to find a child for 12 years to celebrate his child's birthday

On April 4, the 16th birthday of the abducted child "Xiaomi Qi", Du Xiaohua made a special trip to Dulonggui Village, Baotou City, where Xiaomi Qi lived before he went missing, to celebrate the birthday of his missing son. Du Xiaohua not only prepared a birthday cake for "Xiaomi Qi", but also wrote a personal letter to his son: "Xiaomi Qi, today you are 18 years old, but you are not by your parents' side. If you remember this familiar yard, familiar room, and the figure of your parents, you should take the initiative to contact us. ”

In the old courtyard where Xiaoqi once lived, Du Xiaohua read the letter word by word and posted the video on his Douyin account.

Du Xiaohua told the Beiqing News reporter that he hopes that his efforts can be seen by more netizens, and hopes that Xiaomi Qi can see the news and reunite with his family, "so that I can really celebrate a birthday for him."

Although 12 years have passed, he can still recall the disappearance of Xiaomi Qi in 2011: "It was the second day of the second lunar month, and I was going to take Xiaomi Qi to the street. Xiaomi Qi is very happy. After dinner, because it was cold, we didn't plan to go out on the street, and my son went home disappointed. At this time, Du Xiaohua answered a call, "Just turned around, Xiaomi Qi suddenly disappeared." ”

Du Xiaohua first looked for Xiaoqi in the village, gradually expanded to the whole area of Baotou, and then traveled around to find relatives, "except Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, all provinces in the country have looked for it." ”

In the year after Xiaomi Qi's disappearance, Du Xiaohua traveled around to find "Xiaomi Qi", unable to continue to engage in the woodworking industry he was originally good at, and spent all his savings originally planned to build a house.

"Xiaomi Qi" mother Jin Nana also returned to her mother's house to recuperate due to poor health. In 2012, with the help of his family, Du Xiaohua opened a mobile phone store and continued to make ends meet; Jin Nana also returned home, "this home cannot be dispersed". In March 2012, the second son was born; In 3, the youngest daughter was born.

Although a pair of children have been added, Du Xiaohua has not given up looking for Xiao Qi: "The two children know that they also have a big brother, and one day we will meet." If I can't wait for the day when my eldest son returns, I hope they will continue to search. ”

When there was no clue, Du Xiaohua went home with his wife to take care of the children and run the business in the store; As soon as he had a clue, he put on a T-shirt with a tracing notice, drove a car full of tracing notices, and continued on the road to find his son. "Sometimes even if you don't have a clue, you can't help but drive out to find the child. Even if it is aimless, even if there is no hope, you still have to keep looking. ”

Set the social media background to a group photo of the family of three before your son disappeared

The Beiqing News reporter noticed that Du Xiaohua set his social media background as a group photo of the family of three before Xiaoqi disappeared. Du Xiaohua said that this is to let the child recognize himself: "I was thin before the child was lost, but now more than ten years have passed, and I have also become old and a little fat." In case my message is seen by Xiaomi Qi, I hope to use these photos to awaken the child's memory. ”

Many netizens also left messages saying, "Dad Du's hair is gray, and he has had a lot of vicissitudes in recent years." ”

Du Xiaohua told the Beiqing News reporter that when the child went missing, he could not go online, "I was just a carpenter, and after my son was lost, I could only force myself to learn to surf the Internet, learn to post, and set up stalls around the place to find the child." Later, he learned to make TikTok, just to get his child back. ”

For more than a decade, Du Xiaohua has encountered deception and disappointment, but he has never given up: "If you persist, there will be hope, and if you do not persist, there will be no hope." ”

Only one family remains in the prototype of "Darling"

After the "crackdown" movie "Dear" was released, the family-seeking group attracted attention from all walks of life, and the public security departments launched a series of actions to crack down on the crime of abducting and trafficking women and children, and help reunite families looking for relatives. Among the four prototypes of "Dear", Peng Gaofeng has found his son Peng Wenle in 2011, and Wu Liping was reunited with her younger brother Wu Yulong in 2017. In 2021, the Ministry of Public Security listed Sun Zhuo's disappearance as a case for supervision; In December of that year, Sun Haiyang and his son Sun Zhuo successfully compared DNA, and finally met their son after 12 years. At present, only Du Xiaohua's family has not been reunited.

During the search for relatives, Du Xiaohua received the support of many "difficult friends" such as Sun Haiyang, Li Jingzhi, and Guo Gangtang. When Sun Haiyang reunited with his son, Du Xiaohua also attended to witness it in person. Now, Du Xiaohua has also become a volunteer to help others find their relatives, and has traveled to Shaanxi, Shandong and other places to personally help other families find clues. He said: "I have experienced this pain, and I can feel it even more. We do not distinguish between you and me, and we want to see more family reunions. ”

Soon after the child went missing, volunteers from "Baby Home" contacted Du Xiaohua and actively helped him find Xiaoqi. Therefore, Du Xiaohua also hopes to return this warmth through his own efforts and help more families looking for relatives. He told the Beiqing News reporter: "We are common friends, comforting each other and hugging each other to keep warm. Whoever finds the child has more hope. ”

On April 4, Officer Lan, a police officer of the Qingshan Public Security Branch of Baotou City, told a reporter from Beiqing News that he was investigating after receiving relevant clues from Du Xiaohua's feedback.
