After 34 years apart, an abducted son reunites with his parents but decides to sever ties once more over money disputes.
In a heartbreaking story, a man named Yu Baobao was reunited with his biological parents after being abducted when he was just two years old.
However, after spending only a year together, he chose to cut ties with them due to financial disagreements and conflicts with his siblings.
The Chinese man was kidnapped as a toddler and lived a tough life
Yu, who was originally named Li Qiang, was taken from his grandparents’ home in Sichuan province, China.
After his abduction, he was sold to a family where he faced a tough life.
His adoptive parents often hit Yu and told him he was adopted when he turned five. At eleven, they sent him to another family.
Despite these hardships, Yu never forgot about his real parents.
He felt that something was missing in his life and always wondered about his origins.
As he grew older, he became a nomad, traveling around China for work. At 19, he settled in Beijing and worked as a delivery driver.
The journey to find his biological parents and family
In 2021, Yu took a significant step to find his biological family.
He decided to have his DNA tested and submitted it to a missing persons database without telling anyone.
Remarkably, within ten days, authorities found a match.
His biological parents had also submitted their DNA in hopes of finding their long-lost son.
When he learned the news, Yu felt thrilled.
He quickly traveled to reunite with his family, excited to finally meet them.
The abducted son reunited with his parents after 34 years
The reunion was emotional, and many in the community supported them.
His family, who had been searching for him for decades, warmly welcomed Yu.
Initially, the family seemed happy to be together.
Yu even discussed starting a business with them to help support his parents and younger siblings.
They began an e-commerce live-streaming venture, which turned out to be quite successful, earning around $66,000.
However, problems soon arose.
He decided to cut ties with family again over money disputes
Yu felt that he was not receiving enough money from the business, despite giving his siblings the promised share.
Tensions grew as his siblings began to speak rudely to him, claiming they were doing him a favor by accepting him into the family.
They even referred to him by his adoptive name, which upset Yu deeply.
Feeling undervalued and unsupported, Yu decided to distance himself from his biological family.
Despite the reunion, financial disputes and family conflicts led him to cut ties.
