A man in China, who offered a staggering 10 million yuan (US$1.4 million) in his quest to find his son abducted 24 years ago, has finally been reunited with him.
During the reunion ceremony held in Shenzhen, southern China, on March 16, the father, Xie Yue, presented his son, Xie Haonan, with a Mercedes-Benz sedan valued at three million yuan (US$415,000) along with a bank card containing an undisclosed sum set aside for his education.
However, Xie junior declined the gifts, expressing that he does not need them at the moment as he is still pursuing his master’s degree. He emphasised that he believes his future “relies on himself,” as reported by the Southern Metropolis News.
“My father is successful, and I am confident I can achieve these things through my own hard work,” said the son during their heartfelt meeting.
At 26, Xie junior was abducted by a fruit vendor near his home in Shenzhen in January 2001 when he was just two years old. His father has relentlessly searched for him since that day.
Until now, Xie junior had been living in Henan province, central China, while details about his adoptive family remain undisclosed in media reports.
