The reunion was very moving, not only for the family but also for the witnesses. Mao was brought into a room surrounded by policemen, and upon seeing his parents, he immediately ran into their arms, causing tears everywhere.
Amid the tearful reunion was a smiling family full of joy. Lee expressed her happiness saying that she no longer wanted her son to leave her. Mao, who currently works in the interior design business, said he plans to return to his hometown to be close to his parents.
There are still many unanswered questions regarding the situation. Specifically, if someone is paying for the crime of kidnapping. Unfortunately, the situation is not limited to Mao and his family.
China is currently facing a massive child abduction crisis. Currently, Baby Come Home, one of the popular platforms that allows parents to put missing child notifications, has more than 51,000 registered families.
For now, all Mao and his family can do is celebrate their reunion while awaiting further details from the police.
