Nightmare ends - after 16 years

Gan Chaolin, 22, was abducted from his mother's arms by two of his parents' workmates in Guangdong province and sent by child traffickers to Fujian province, when he was just 6.

After being shunted around for a while, he was given a new name Wu Zhijian and settled with a well-off family in Putian, Fujian.

For more than a decade, Gan refused to call the couple Mom and Dad, for he clearly remembered his birth parents.
