He was able to find his biological family by drawing a map of his childhood village from memory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLi Jingwei was just four years old when he was lured away from his home and sold into a child trafficking ring,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-asia-china-59848162\">BBC<\/a> reported. \u201cOn 24 December he shared a hand-drawn map to the video sharing app, Douyin, which police matched to a small village and a woman whose son had disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DNA tests confirmed the relation, and they were reunited in Yunnan province in southwestern China on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Li Jingwei was seen carefully removing his mother\u2019s mask and breaking down in tears and embracing her after examining her face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThirty-three years of waiting, countless nights of yearning, and finally a map hand-drawn from memory, this is the moment of perfect release after 13 days,\u201d Li wrote prior to the reunion. \u201cThank you, everyone who has helped me reunite with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Li was abducted in 1989 near Zhaotong in Yunnan Province. He was then sold to a family living over 1,000 miles away. After failing to locate his biological parents through his adoptive parents or DNA databases, he posted a viral video seeking help.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200b\u201dI\u2019m a child who\u2019s finding his home. I was taken to Henan by a bald neighbor around 1989, when I was about four years old,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a map of my home area that I have drawn from memory.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In the video, he held up a rough guide of the village, which included \u201cfeatures like a building he believed to be a school, a bamboo forest, and a small pond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany children who are reunited with their original family after being abducted have been reluctant to bring legal action against their foster parents because they have grown to love them,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10362879\/Man-abducted-Chinese-gang-four-reunited-mother-33-years-later.html\">the Daily Mail<\/a> reported. \u201cMr Jingwei, who is married with children, said the family that adopted him taught him \u2018the principles of being a human.\u2019 He said this was \u2018so that I could study hard and become a talent in the future.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiscussing the abduction, Mr Li said he was taken by a man with a bald head. He knew him and \u2018had no defense against him,\u2019\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/man-kidnapped-as-a-child-in-china-reunited-with-family-after-drawing-map-of-home-village-from-memory-12507517\">Sky News<\/a> reported. \u201cLater, a couple in their 40s bought him some new clothes and took him on a train journey lasting a day and a night before handing him to an adoptive family who treated him well, he said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChild abductions are not uncommon in China, a society which places high value on having a son,\u201d the BBC explained. \u201cMany children are abducted at a young age and sold to other families. In 2015, it was estimated that 20,000 children were being abducted each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
