Sisters reunite after 79-year separation

NANNING - Que Bamei wept as she tightly held her older sister. They had lost contact 79 years ago amid the turmoil of the Japanese invasion of China.

Que, 87, was born into a large family in Qinzhou in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. When the Japanese invaded in 1939, 8-year-old Que had to part with her eight siblings and followed other family members fleeing to neighboring Guangdong province.

She was adopted by a family in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and never returned to her hometown or met with any relatives since.
