With high-tech help, son returns

A man who was taken by child traffickers 20 years ago has returned home with the help of facial recognition technology. Wan Shuangjian and his sister were taken on Nov 28, 1995, when they were on a holiday in Shenzhen with their migrant parents. Among the many efforts to find the children, Wan's father sent photos of Wan's twin brother to the anti-human-trafficking office of the Ministry of Public Security in 2008. With facial recognition technology, police identified Wan and reunited him with his family. Wan's sister is still being sought.
