A deaf and non-speaking Chinese man named Lei Zeqing is reunited with his biological family after 35 years of separation. According to reports, when he was about 10 years old in central China, he was separated from his parents after a childhood incident involving a train. After that, he spent decades living far from home, relying on the support of others and the help of a long-term caregiver: a restaurant owner in Shenzhen, where he later stayed and was looked after for many years.
Recent developments led to the reunion. An online message from Lei’s deaf brother helped identify him, with the brother recognizing a distinctive habit from their childhood. Family members traveled from their hometown in Henan province to Shenzhen in Guangdong province and met Lei on June 11. Sources describe the encounter as emotional and focused on the return of family ties after a long period without contact.
