At around 9 o'clock on December 2, Deputy Director of the Guanzhuang Police Station, Jiang Xi, who had been leading the police officers in searching for the elderly man's family all night to no avail, thought of utilizing the power of the internet to help the elderly man.
A 76-year-old man from Anqiu, Weifang got lost on his way to visit his daughter. He curled up in a tricycle during the cold night, and his body was frozen stiff. On his way home from work, Yu Guochao from Yujiahe Village in Guanzhuang Town discovered the elderly man and took him home, where he hugged him inside and prepared meals to take care of him.
During their conversation with the elderly man, the police officers realized that he could not clearly state his home address or even remember his own name. He only kept pointing at Yu Guochao, who had helped him, and repeatedly said "good."
According to the elderly man's family, his name is Gao Runzhi. He lives in Caojićzi Village in the Xin'an Subdistrict of Anqiu City and is 76 years old. Four days ago, while visiting his daughter, he got lost. In order to find him, they printed hundreds of missing person posters. When they brought the elderly man back home, his family repeatedly asked the police to thank Yu Guochao and the netizens who cared about and helped the elderly man.
On the way home
After receiving the alarm, the police officers rushed to Yu Guochao's house. At this time, Yu Guochao had already prepared hot meals for the elderly man and was accompanying him to keep warm and eat. Yu Guochao told the police that at around 7 o'clock in the evening, on his way home, he saw the elderly man huddled over on a manual tricycle by the side of the road, his entire body already frozen stiff. Yu Guochao took the elderly man back to his own home, carried him into the house, used an electric heater to warm him up, and also prepared hot meals for him.
Rescuing the lost elderly man
Under the pseudonym "Wish you find your home soon," Yu Jiangxi posted the post titled "Last night I helped an elderly man, does anyone know him?" along with pictures of the elderly man's face on the Baidu Anqiu Tieba. Not long after the post was made, more than 100 netizens responded with blessings for the elderly man and provided clues.
At around 20:00 on December 1, the Guanzhuang Police Station of the Anqiu Public Security Bureau received a distress call from Yu Guochao, a villager of Yujiahe Village in its jurisdiction, stating that he had helped a lost elderly man on the side of the road and requested the police's assistance in helping the elderly man find his family.
Since the elderly man could not clearly state his home address and had no contact information for his family, in order to help the elderly man find his family, the local police also posted the elderly man's picture on the website forum. With the help of over 100 netizens, the elderly man was finally reunited with his family.
