Marriage is one of the most important choices in life, and it is not only related to the happiness of two people, but also to the growth and future of children. However, some people do not cherish this fate, and do not hesitate to hurt their spouses and children for their own selfish desires, and even commit cruel acts of abandoning their parents and children. Today, we are going to tell a true story that happened in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, a woman married an irresponsible man for love, and was abandoned by him for five months, only to learn that his son had died 18 years later, and her ex-husband was only sentenced to one year for abandonment. Such a result is heart-wrenching and infuriating.
Ms. Zhang, an ordinary resident of Yanliang District, Xi'an, was deeply in love with Lei 19 years ago, and for this love, she insisted on marrying him despite the opposition of her family. She thought that as long as there was love, she could overcome all difficulties and live happily together. However, she was wrong, and she married a man who had no conscience.
Soon after marriage, Ms. Zhang found that Lei often went out to drink, gamble, not only did not work, but also often beat and scolded her, and even hurt her. Ms. Zhang endured the humiliation and hoped that Lei could reform himself, but Lei became more and more lawless. In 2005, Ms. Zhang was pregnant, she thought this was an opportunity given to her by God, she hoped that with a child, Lei could be more restrained and be better to her and the child. However, she was wrong again, not only did Lei not treat her and the child better, but intensified it.
In January 2006, Ms. Zhang gave birth to a lovely son, whom she named Xiao Lei, hoping that he would be as strong as her father. However, Lei ignored his son, and even disliked him as an oil bottle, hindering his freedom. He often told Ms. Zhang that if they didn't have this child, they would be able to divorce and he would be able to live the life he wanted. Ms. Zhang's heart was like a knife when she heard this, she didn't understand why Lei would treat her own flesh and blood like this, she didn't dare to imagine what she would do if one day, Lei really abandoned her and her son.
In June 2006, Ms. Zhang's nightmare came true. That day, Lei said that he wanted to take his son out to play, and Ms. Zhang was not at ease, but Lei said that he was just going to a nearby park and would not go far, so Ms. Zhang agreed. However, Lei took advantage of Ms. Zhang's inattention, put his son in a corner of the park, and then ran away. When Ms. Zhang found that her son was missing, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she searched everywhere, but she did not find any trace of her son, she called ** to Lei, but found that his mobile phone had been turned off. She realized that Lei had deliberately abandoned her son, she broke down, she cried and called the police, hoping that ** could help her find her son.
However, she waited for 18 years, and did not wait for news from her son. In the past 18 years, she has not given up hope of finding her son, she has traveled all over the world, issued missing person notices, asked for help on the Internet, and even participated in CCTV's "Waiting for Me" program, but to no avail. Her life also plummeted, she and Lei divorced, she had no job, no income, and could only rely on the help of relatives and friends to survive. Her health also deteriorated, and she suffered from depression, frequent insomnia, and sometimes self-harm. Her only motivation is to see her son, and she believes that he is still alive and waiting for her.
In 2023, Ms. Zhang's hopes were completely shattered. Tell her that her son has long since died, and that his body was found in a trash can in the park, where DNA tests confirmed that it was her biological son. When Ms. Zhang heard this, she felt that the sky had fallen, and she couldn't believe that her son died like this, her son was thrown in the trash can like this, and her son did not enjoy a day of love and warmth. She was grief-stricken, she thought, if she hadn't married Lei in the first place, if she hadn't let Lei take her son out, if she could have found out about her son's disappearance in time, if she had found her son earlier, maybe, everything would not have been like this.
On December 26, 2023, Lei was sentenced to one year for abandonment. Ms. Zhang was unhappy with the result, she felt that Lei's sentence was too light, that he had not only killed her son, but also ruined her life, and that he should be punished more severely. She said that she would appeal, she wanted justice for her son, and she wanted Lei to pay the price.
This is a heartbreaking story of a mother who spent 18 years of time and energy in search of her son, only to learn that her son was dead, and died so miserably, while the son's biological father was sentenced to one year for abandoning his son. Such a result is unacceptable and indignant. We hope that Ms. Zhang can cheer up and regain her confidence and hope in life, and we also hope that Lei can be punished by the law, realize his sins, truly repent, and compensate Ms. Zhang and her son. We also hope that such a tragedy will not happen again, and we also hope that all parents can love their children and give them a warm and happy home.
After 18 years of searching for her son, his wife learned that his son had died
