In Xianyang, Shaanxi province, China, a couple hugs and sheds tears as they hold their two grown sons.
We met again after 28 years.
[(Who knows?) I don't know. (Your brother.)] In
1993, Mr. Liu made a living by selling vegetables to and from the neighboring city of Xi'an.
Liu's wife was watching her newborn daughter at home, and when her two sons were fighting, she was in a hurry and told her father to go to the market.
At that time, the two sons were 5 and 2 years old, and a long separation began along the way.
Mr. Ryu wandered around looking for his sons, but it was not easy as there was not a single photo of them.
[Ryu Zenhwa: While I was working, I asked questions here and there. Just because a villager adopted a child, he wasn't my son.]
Then this year, the Chinese police launched a massive search for missing people.
Fortunately, the eldest son vaguely remembered that he had been abducted.
The police confirmed that he was Ryu's son through genetic testing, and arrested the kidnapper who sold his son by questioning his adoptive parents.
It was also possible to determine the whereabouts of the second son from the kidnappers.
The two sons lived in a neighboring village and even went to the same school, but did not know each other.
[Xianyang City Police: The brothers went to the same school, but they did not know that they were real brothers because blood ties could not be confirmed.]
Chinese police have found more than 2,600 people who have gone missing since January this year, some of which have been found for the first time in 61 years.
