A 72 years old Chinese women breaks down in tears as she is reunited with her two daughters who were BOTH abducted 28 years ago

 

 As she saw her long-lost children on Monday, Chen Jiaxiang, 72, hugged them tightly and said 'I have never thought I could see you again in my lifetime', according to Chinese media.

Ms Chen's elder daughter, 47-year-old Huang Ruixiu, told reporters that she and her sister, 42-year-old Huang Ruixiang, had been kidnapped by a cousin in 1988.

The emotional reunion took place at the Shiquan County of Ankang city in Shaanxi Province, reported People's Daily Online, citing a report from Huashang Daily.

All of the three women broke down in tears as they saw each other.

The reunion was organised by the local public security bureau and volunteers from an anti-human trafficking website, named 'Sanqin come home'. 

Huang Ruixiu and her younger sister Huang Ruixiang were born in Banqiao Village, Shiquan County, Shaanxi Province. The sisters were abducted in 1988 in Suizhou, Hubei Province, where they were living at the time.

Prior to the abduction, the two had lived in Hubei Province for about five years. In 1983, Huang Ruixiu married at the age of 13 to a man living in Hubei and Huang Ruixiang followed her sister and moved to Hubei too. 

Their parents had also moved to Hubei to live with their daughters, but they decided to return to their home in Shaanxi in 1985

According to Huang Ruixiu, she and her sister were abducted at the end of 1988. She said their abductors took them from Suizhou to Kaifeng in central China's Henan Province.

Huang Ruixiu told a reporter from Huashang Daily: 'My sister was not even 14 years old at the time. The abductors brought us to KaiFeng, then they took my sister away and sent her to another family.'

The woman said she begged the abductors not to send her sister away, but the abductors said a family had paid them 3,000 yuan (£350) for her sister.

The report did not explain where Huang Ruixiu had been sold to, but she said she had not seen her sister Huang Ruixiang since then.

Huang Ruixiu has been renamed to Li Fengyi by her adoptive parents while Huang Ruixiang is now known as Huang Shunxiang
