A post searching for mother viewed by thousands
The "Urgent! Urgent!" missing person announcement post caused more than a thousand views and discussions in the Xinzheng forum.
In the post, the poster "Regret Loving You Initially" said that more than 20 years ago, Zhang was abducted by human traffickers and sold to Shen Yufa from Xiyao Village, Zhuxiang Town, Linqing City, Shandong Province, where she was "married." They had a daughter named Shen Rong. When Zhang became pregnant again, she returned to her hometown in Xinzheng. Shen Rong never saw her mother again. Over the years, her greatest dream was to see her mother once more.
Shen Rong said that she posted messages on various websites searching for her mother in order to find her through the power of the internet.
"In my father's eyes, mother is the most perfect"
When she was young, her father often told Shen Rong stories about her mother. Later, as Shen Rong grew older, her father stopped mentioning it.
Shen Rong said that her father was an honest man. More than 20 years ago, their family was very poor, making it difficult to find a partner.
Although her mother only had a high school education, in the eyes of the uneducated Shen family, her mother was like a college student, bringing infinite glory to the Shen family.
Her father always said that her mother was very beautiful, virtuous, educated, respectful towards grandparents. Although her mother did not love her father, she took good care of him. "When I was little, grandmother always told me to be a sensible person like my mother," Shen Rong said. Not long after her mother left, she wrote a letter to the Shen family, saying that grandmother was a good person and asking her to take care of her daughter. Every time grandmother mentioned the content of the letter, she would cry with sadness.
During the days when her mother was back at her own parents' house, her father started drinking to drown his sorrows. One day, after drinking, he set off for Xinzheng on a bicycle.
Shen Rong said that when her maternal grandfather saw her father, he had someone beat him up and locked him in a room. After her mother found out, she secretly let him go. Later, her aunt sent someone to inquire in Xinzheng, and after much effort, they learned that her mother had remarried. From then on, her father stopped looking for her mother and burned all things related to her mother. However, the negative of the合影 (joint photo) with Shen Rong and her mother was overlooked, and Shen Rong discovered it and cherished it.
Later, some people from the village introduced potential partners to her father, but he refused them all. "In my father's eyes, mother is the most perfect, no one can replace her," Shen Rong said.
Tears flowed like a fountain when the mother and daughter met.
This year, Shen Rong is already 23 years old, and her son is four. "Even if I only see her once, it's just for a dream, a wish to have both parents." Talking about her background, Shen Rong couldn't help but burst into tears, "I won't disturb my mother's life, I just want to know how she is now, and if my mother could recognize me, that would be even better."
On the afternoon of the 27th, Shen Rong and her husband came to Xinzheng, where she made an appointment with the reporter. The next morning, the reporter would take her to Mengzhuang Town to find her mother. Prior to this, the reporter contacted Wang Chaodong, the deputy secretary of Mengzhuang Town, asking him to help find the person.
When the group arrived at Mengzhuang Town, unexpectedly, Shen Rong's mother's family was very open-minded and agreed for Shen Rong's mother to meet her daughter. At 10:30 AM yesterday, Shen Rong arrived at her mother's doorstep. A tall middle-aged woman was already waiting there. As soon as the mother and daughter met, they hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces. "I'm sorry, you don't blame your mother, do you..."
Shen Rong took out the treasured old photos. Upon seeing this, her mother also took out the old photos she had treasured. Surprisingly, the old photos in both their hands were exactly the same. Shen Rong's mother expressed that she hoped her daughter and son-in-law could stay at home for a few days, and in the future, they could bring their grandson when they visit, but she wouldn't return to Shandong anymore.
