Parents cry for joy as they find missing son after 24 years




A couple were finally re-united with their son following his disappearance 24 years ago. Pictures showed dad Li Shunji and mum Du Li embracing Li Lei, 27, after managing to track him down using a police DNA database.

Li Shunji reportedly said to his son: ‘We’ve finally found you! ‘We’d been searching for 24 years.’ He had disappeared in Xi’an, capital of north-western China’s Shaanxi Province, on 8th August 1994, after he got lost in a crowd. The three-year-old had followed his dad to the shops without him knowing.

Li Lei, who is known affectionately as ???Lei Lei???, disappeared in Xi???an, capital of north-western China???s Shaanxi Province, on 8th August 1994, changing his parents??? lives forever. But after 24 years, the 27-year-old has finally found his dad Li Shunji and mum Du Li thanks to a police DNA database and China???s largest missing-persons NGO Baobei Huijia (Baby Back Home). Li Shunji said he and his wife still clearly remember the day their son went missing. He thought Lei Lei was playing outside with the neighbours??? kids, and he went to the shops not knowing that his son had actually followed him. The boy, who was just three at the time, eventually got lost and would not see his parents again for more than two decades. While his parents believed he may have been kidnapped, investigators revealed that he was actually found by a couple who were visiting Xi???an to deliver goods. They found Lei Lei wandering around on his own and looked around for his parents, but there was no sign of the child???s family. The couple had been visiting the area where they found the child, and after local officials showed little interest in helping and with no sign of the parents, they decided to take him home because they did not want to abandon him on the street. It is believed they suspected he was an orphan and therefore decided to raise him as their own. It is unclear whether the couple made further efforts in their hometown to find the boy's parents or how they were able to register him for school. Meanwhile, Li Shunji and Du Li "never stopped looking" for their firstborn, even after having twins a few years later. Their twins are now adults too, and they even promised to continue the search for their big brother once their parents got too old. It was

‘I only realised that he had gone missing after my wife came looking for me at the shop. My legs went numb instantly,’ Mr Li told Chinese Business Gazette. 

His parents feared he had been kidnapped but have since discovered a couple found him wandering around on his own and took him in because they thought he was an orphan. Li and Du had never given up hope of finding their son even after they had twin children later on.
