  Even if she couldn't go out, Zhang Baoyan still had a busy month.

  Since the imported epidemic occurred in her hometown of Tonghua in January 2021, Zhang Baoyan has basically been in home isolation.

In the meantime, she has been coordinating volunteer teams to participate in local epidemic prevention and control work through the network.

  After establishing the "Baby Go Home" sub-searching network in 2007, Zhang Baoyan met more and more volunteers.

The "Baby Go Home" Volunteer Association, chaired by her, has retrieved 3,562 lost and abducted children and helped thousands of families reunite.

  "I just got out of home." In mid-February when the Tonghua epidemic situation stabilized, Zhang Baoyan was interviewed on the night of "unblocking" at the appointment of a reporter from China News Agency.

The tension and busyness for a period of time made her look a little tired and her steps were a little heavy.

  "Preparing to participate in the National People's Congress." Since being elected to the National People's Congress in 2018, Zhang Baoyan has said the most word is "home."

Participating this year, Zhang Baoyan's topic is still related to "home".

"Our country adds about 200,000 disabled children every year. Having a child who is disabled or even unable to take care of himself is undoubtedly a disaster for this family."

  Zhang Baoyan suggested that the government should establish a charity trusteeship for children with autism and cerebral palsy.

Sending disabled children to a care institution not only allows the children to receive professional treatment and care, but also relieves their parents.

"The society should give them some care and love for these families."

  "Children are our tomorrow, but we can't just focus on the growth of normal children, we should also give more care to children with various disabilities." Zhang Baoyan believes that the government, society, and family should work together to strengthen The investment in this group has created a better living environment for these children, giving them opportunities to receive treatment, recovery and learning.

  Zhang Baoyan said that these disabled children should be allowed to live with dignity, quality and warmth.

"I think this is something we all are willing to do."

  Zhang Baoyan expressed his "satisfaction" and "regrets" for the "baby home" journey that has been "looking for relatives" for 14 years.

  At present, the awareness of anti-trafficking in Chinese society is gradually increasing, and new cases are gradually decreasing.

Zhang Baoyan gave a set of comparative figures: In 2007, 8 children abducted were registered on the website at the most one day; in the past two years, no more than 20 cases of abducted children were reported each year.

  "And 90% can be found. It can be said that the crime of trafficking has been curbed." Zhang Baoyan said with satisfaction, "Baby Go Home" has 350,000 volunteers, they are distributed across the country, and even overseas have volunteers to participate. among them.

  Over the years, "regrets" have also occurred.

A Sichuan boy named "Erwa" was abducted at a young age. In June 2015, his family sought relatives through the "Baby Go Home" Volunteer Association.

With the joint efforts of all sectors of society, it took five years to finally find the second baby's biological father, but at this time the second baby has passed away from lung cancer.

  After careful consideration, Zhang Baoyan was still ready to tell her second baby's father the truth.

"Although it is a pity for my father, for the second baby, he finally found home."

  In the Chinese-language movie "Lonely", the actor Andy Lau said: It's been fifteen years. Only on the road do I feel like a father.

Zhang Baoyan bluntly said that she and the group of volunteers have been on the "road" as well, that is, there should be less "sorrows for the second baby" and light the way home for all the babies who are looking for relatives.
