In August 1999, a couple surnamed Li who lived in Guizhou, China discovered that their 3-year-old daughter Meimei was missing. Although they hurriedly got up to search, they found nothing. Afterwards, the couple surnamed Li began their 17-year journey to find a daughter, but unexpectedly, in the end, the missing daughter actually lived in a house across the street from the old street.

According to Chinese media reports, the couple surnamed Li are engaged in market retail work and set up stalls in the market every day. When setting up stalls, the couple surnamed Li will bring their 3-year-old daughter Meimei with them. Until one day, because there were a lot of customers, the couple surnamed Li suddenly found that “Mei Mei was gone” after a while of busy work. Although they thought in their hearts that “the daughter may come back later”, after the past 2 hours, they have not seen their daughter. The figure surnamed Li began to search, but there was no result.

Afterwards, although the couple surnamed Li called the police, the police believed that Meimei might have been abducted by human traffickers, and there were so few clues that the chance of finding her was very slim. But even so, the couple surnamed Li embarked on a journey to find their beloved daughter. They began to make their own missing person notices and asked people everywhere. But even with such efforts, there is still no news of Meimei.

After another daughter, Xiangxiang, grew up and started to use the Internet, Xiangxiang found a missing person platform on the Internet, and he uploaded the information of his younger sister Meimei. Unexpectedly, the staff of the tracing platform found that Meimei’s situation was very similar to that of a woman named “Jia Min”, so they pulled out Jia Min’s information to read. And this investigation made the staff quite dumbfounded, because Jia Min’s residential address is actually just next to the current residence of Li and his wife.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, the staff of the tracing platform decided to visit Jia Min in person, and when they found Jia Min, Jia Min was already the mother of two children. Jia Min said that he clearly knew that he was adopted by others, and his only impression of his original family was that his father was a shoe seller. Although I tried to find relatives, but considering the reality of raising two children, I gave up a long time ago.

Jia Min described that her adoptive father is in prison, and her husband is working out of town and has not returned home for two years. But Jia Min also emphasized that his adoptive father treated him very well, never beat or scolded him, and treated him as his own daughter.

Later, when the staff told the couple surnamed Li that they had found Xiangxiang, the couple surnamed Li were also very surprised that their daughter who had been missing for many years was actually near their home. With the help of the staff, the couple surnamed Li first conducted a DNA test with Jia Min. The identification finally proved that Jia Min was indeed Meimei, the daughter of the Li couple who had been missing for 17 years.
