Father, son reunited after 21 years

A man in Rongchuan, who was abducted by his uncle when he was 5-years-old and sold to another family, has been reunited with his biological parents thanks to the national DNA database. Zhu Maohao visited a police substation in June last year to give a DNA sample and begin the search for his lost family. His biological father, Wen Taiyuan, did the same in February. The pair were reunited after their DNA was found to match by police. Zhu wept with joy when he saw Wen again for the first time in 21 years.
