Our reporter (Wang Qiushi) A 13-year-old girl named Xiaomei (a pseudonym) ran away from home with Cai Shigang, a 23-year-old man who collected scrap. She had a child with him. Cai Shigang was arrested on suspicion of abducting and deceiving a minor. Yesterday, the reporter learned that Fangshan Court has already held a trial for this case. "She couldn't endure the persecution and disdain, so she left home. Moreover, it was her who initiated contact with me," said Cai Shigang during his trial. He claimed that Xiaomei complained to him many times about how her family didn't value her. At that time, he jokingly said: "If others don't value oneself, one can still survive independently!" After hearing this, Xiaomei was moved and decided to run away with him. He also felt that Xiaomei's parents didn't care much about their child. The two cohabited together. In January 2009, Xiaomei gave birth to a son. Later due to trivial matters in life, they often quarreled. In January this year, after another argument, Xiaomei returned to her hometown, and her parents immediately reported it to the police. According to the case file, in 2005, Xiaomei became familiar with Cai Shigang because she frequently sold scrap goods to him. In December 2005, Xiaomei came back home late and was afraid of being scolded by her father. So, she stayed at Cai Shigang's temporary residence for four days before Cai took her to Tianjin and other places. The court did not announce the verdict immediately. Cai Shigang is now 42 years old. He came to Beijing several years ago and made a living by collecting scrap in Yangtougang Village, Chengguan Street, Fangshan District. His life changed after meeting Xiaomei. During the trial, Cai Shigang expressed his affection for Xiaomei multiple times, choking up. He said that he truly felt sorry for her and wanted to take care of her. Xiaomei did not show up in court. After the trial, the judge allowed him to meet his son. When his more than two-year-old son was brought into the courtroom, Cai Shigang hugged the child tightly, kissing him repeatedly, holding the child's small hand and calling out his name over and over again.
