**A woman from Inner Mongolia reunites with her family after being missing for over 30 years**
A woman named Wang Xiaohong from Inner Mongolia was abducted to the Daliang Mountains in Sichuan when she was in her teens and was locked in a basement and abused for 8 and a half years. She managed to escape only when the abuser became intoxicated and she locked him up before fleeing across the mountains. After being separated from her family for more than thirty years, she finally reunited with them recently.
On August 4th, volunteers received a plea for help from Wang Xiaohong and recorded a video seeking her family members – her father, Wang Zhong, uncle Wang Shan, and cousin Wang Xiaobo – based on the names she remembered. The video was posted online.
Just 10 hours after the video was posted, a delivery man came across the video and noticed that the information in the video closely matched that of one of his regular customers. He immediately called to inform them. Wang Xiaobo saw the video and confirmed his cousin’s identity at a glance.
On August 9th, Wang Xiaobo drove over two thousand kilometers from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia to Qingxi, Dongguan to meet his long-lost cousin after more than thirty years.
Wang Xiaohong, believed to be around 48 or 49 years old now, recalls her time being abducted and abused in the basement in the Daliang Mountains. She was forced to be the wife of an elderly man who kept her locked up with only a small high window in the room, making it impossible for her to escape. She was fed through a small iron hole. Even now, she bears scars from burns caused by cigarette butts on her arms, neck, and other parts of her body.
“I waited for the man to return drunk one day, opened the door, pushed him in, and locked it before running away,” Wang Xiaohong recounted. She ran across several mountains and was eventually taken by a kind person to Xi’an for odd jobs, and later got married in Henan. Due to the mental trauma she experienced, she couldn’t remember where her family was but only remembered her own name. After giving birth to a daughter and enduring domestic violence, she ran away again.
“Later, after arriving in Dongguan, I earned a living by doing handicrafts and delivering packages, living day by day,” Wang Xiaohong said. She supported herself by doing odd jobs in Dongguan for over a decade before recently remembering her family in Inner Mongolia. Recalling her experiences over the years, she couldn’t help but shed tears.
Wang Xiaohong grew up without a mother, and her father, now elderly and somewhat senile, and her sister, Wang Xiaohua, who disappeared shortly after getting married, left her family fractured and struggling.
After the family reunion on August 9th, Wang Xiaobo accompanied his cousin Wang Xiaohong back to Inner Mongolia. According to the plan, they will first return to their hometown in Chifeng to reunite with Wang Xiaohong’s elderly father.
Many netizens sympathized with Wang Xiaohong’s plight. In mainland China, it is often challenging for abducted women to seek justice, with many perpetrators evading punishment.
More netizens are calling for continued efforts against abduction and domestic violence, emphasizing the importance of holding abusers accountable and improving support mechanisms for victims to help them heal and lead stable lives.
In the pervasive surveillance and stability maintenance system of the Chinese Communist Party, crimes of trafficking women and children continue to occur, leading to the disintegration of countless families. There are concerns among the public that the Communist regime, funded by taxpayers, does not truly protect its citizens but rather harms them.
