Happy tears flowed freely as daughter was reunited with her birth parents after being kidnapped 21 years ago in south-west China, according to Guizhou City Daily.
The woman identified as Wang Xue, nicknamed Little Swallow, met her parents after a DNA test confirmed their biological relationship.

It was gathered that Wang was on her way to school when she was taken in 1997 aged just seven. During the reunion which took place two decades later, hundreds of locals arrived at Wang's home to witness the emotional reunion, decorating the streets with balloons, flowers and banners to welcome the long-lost daughter.

'I have finally found my daughter,' the teary mother, Wang Yonghui, told the press. 'I finally got to see my daughter again in my lifetime.'
Back in 1997, Wang was living with her grandparents in Xingren county in Guizhou province, while her parents worked in the fields, she recalled. One day, a stranger came up to Wang and asked her to carry her belongings back home.


When the young girl refused, the woman dragged her onto a tricycle and drove away. She even gave her some food to snack on.

When Wang woke up, she found herself in Nayong County, more than 300 kilometers away from home. She was then sent to live with her foster parents and was always 'locked in, beaten and threatened', she told Guizhou City Daily.

'It was a common occurrence,' she said.

Every so often, she would hear that someone was looking for her, but before she could do anything about it, her foster parents would lock her up in the house.

To prevent her from being discovered, Wang was later sent to their relatives' home to live for two years.

She tried to escape many times, but she was always caught immediately and beaten.

Despite the hardships, Wang forced herself to remember the names of her biological family. She knew the names of her grandfather Wang Kaiming and uncle Wang Yinghong, and that she had a younger brother.

Wang's mother couldn't eat for three days after she was told her daughter was kidnapped. It was a nightmare, but she never gave up hope. Wang's parents spent everything they had on the search for their daughter - but to no avail.

Eventually, they were forced to give up due to financial constraints. They also divorced and moved to different provinces.

In March, Wang registered on a Chinese website called Baby Back Home, a non-profit organization that helps families tracks down lost children.

The organization said they have reunited 2,382 families so far. A total of 41,225 parents are still looking for their children. Volunteers then reached out to Wang and launched an official search for her family based on the limited information.
