Man's dying wish fulfilled as daughters meet

One grew up in China, the other in India; their father, who died in 1982, wanted family united

Separated by war and distance, the first embrace between long-lost half sisters Jennifer An and Roesai An was decades in the making.

Their father, An Chipong, a Chinese sea captain, traveled to India with a commercial ship about 70 years ago, but World War II blocked his way back to China. He finally settled in Chennai, where he started a new family with Jennifer's mother, Irene Perera.
