A Chinese woman who went missing from her
parents 37 years ago after boarding the wrong
train has surprisingly reunited with her mother,
Mirror UK reports.
Jiang Ai-wu now 43 was just six when she got
lost in her home town in Hunan province,
South-central China and tried to make her way
home by train from the local station.
“I had no idea where I was going and one
wrong train led to another, and another and
another. The harder I tried to get home, the
further away I seemed to go,” said Ai-wu at the
tearful reunion.
The frightened child ended up 450 miles away
in Xuzhou, a city in Jiangsu province in
eastern China, where she was taken into care
by the authorities.
“I always wanted to find my own family, I
dreamed of it, but I was so young I didn’t know
how to find them. I didn’t even know our
address.
“Gradually I had to concentrate on the life I
had but I never gave up hoping that one day,
my mother and father would come and get
me.”
Meanwhile, her frantic parents kept up the
search for their daughter. Ju Yeh, her mother
said: “She had gone on a small errand but
never came home. We were desperate. We went
to the police, searched the city, went to all the
train and bus stations but we couldn’t find her.
“We didn’t know what to think had happened
but in my heart I never forgot my little girl and
sent a prayer to her every night.”
The family were finally reunited when Ai-wu’s
daughter, Mei, contacted a missing persons
website and spent nearly a year tracking down
her relatives. Her persistence paid off, even
though the family had moved north to Shanxi
province.
Yeh, now 70, said: “I couldn’t believe it when I
received a phone call one day asking me if I’d
ever had a daughter who’d got lost. Then my
little Ai-wu came on the line and it was as if
she’d never been away.
Ai-wu added: “We have a lot of catching up to
do – I have a huge new family to get used to
now.”
