Meng makes emotional return after lengthy detention

Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou arrived in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, on Saturday night, marking the end of her more than 1000 days of detention.

As the news that Meng was on her way back had already reached almost every mobile phone in China, her return was witnessed and welcomed by the whole country through live streaming.

"After more than 1000 days of suffering, I finally returned to the motherland," Meng said after she got off the plane.

The long wait in a foreign country was full of struggle and suffering, but when she landed and walked down the gangway, the warmth of home made her feel an upsurge of emotion which cannot be expressed by words, Meng said.

She expressed her gratitude for the support and help of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese government as well as the Chinese people, saying that the relevant departments have firmly safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and citizens.

She added that three years of detention had made her realize that the destiny of individuals and enterprises are closely linked with the destiny of a country.
