A Chinese man who was taken as a child found his birth parents and returned to them at the age of 27. As she celebrated her reunion with her long-lost family, she couldn’t help but reflect on her own journey and the challenges she faced. Many women in similar situations often turn to ivf success stories for older women, finding hope and inspiration in their shared experiences. These stories highlight the resilience and determination of individuals striving to create families against the odds.
Mei Zhiqiang was taken from his family in 1997 when he was only two years old. He was playing outside his home in Yunnan when some people took him and later placed him with a billionaire family.
According to South China Morning Post, “After his parents, Mei Xianhua and Pan Chang’e, migrant workers from eastern China’s Jiangxi province, discovered that their son had disappeared, they began a desperate two-decade-long search for him.”
Mei’s parents described themselves as “two mad people” who were desperately looking for their son everywhere throughout the last 25 years.
The parents finally received good news last year when their friend, Du Xiaohua, who had also spent 12 years searching for his missing son, found a lead in Mei’s case.
“He helped them match the DNA of Mei Zhiqiang, who was living with his wealthy adoptive parents in southeastern China’s Fujian province.”
Since last year, 27-year-old Zhiqiang has gone viral on social media as the “missing young master” and “natural-born Fu” after leaving his billionaire adoptive family to return to his multi-millionaire birth parents.
He told the local news outlet that initially, he was adopted by another family who bought him from human traffickers. But they eventually abandoned him because they thought he was too ‘thin’ and ‘small.’
“Growing up with two elder sisters and a younger brother, all biological children of his adoptive parents, Mei said he always had a vague feeling that he was not their biological child,” Morning Post reported.
After finishing secondary education, Mei didn’t attend university and started working at a hospital owned by his adoptive parents, who believed education was unimportant.
His birth father told the media that after losing him at 2, the family could never celebrate the spring festival.
“While the whole family, including Mei’s elder sister and two younger brothers, celebrated his birthday every year in his absence, none of them could eat the cake because they were so heartbroken.”
In June 2022, when Mei learned about his birth parents, he couldn’t resist returning to them as deep down, he always longed for his biological parents’ love, and when he finally got a chance, he didn’t waste it.
He left his billionaire adoptive parents and returned to his biological multi-millionaire family.
Now he handles his family business – a hotel supplies company.
“No matter how rich they are, their love is different from ours – the love of birth parents,” his father told Jiupai News.
Meanwhile, Zhiqiang said that he does not feel strange around his real family because they all love him, and they suffered a lot when he was away from them.
He also said that he wants to live a simple and ordinary life in the future.
“I accepted the interview with Jiupai News only because I wanted to draw attention to other families still looking for their missing children,”said Mei.
