In 1988, 6-year-old Zhou Yi suffered a family accident, her father was imprisoned, her mother remarried, and she was forced to live on the streets, living a difficult life. After 31 years, she was reunited with her biological father.
In these more than 30 years of displacement, Zhou Yi has experienced many hardships and hardships, and the end of his life seems to be only despair. However, fate is always full of uncertainties.
Zhou Yi was born in May 1982 in Ganzijing District, Dalian, which is strategically located and is the only way to connect the main urban area with the new urban area. As the jewel of her parents, she lived a princess-like life, carefree and enjoyed the beauty of that era.
Zhou Yi, the 6-year-old child who grew up carefree in the love of his parents, is the pearl of the Zhou family. But a sudden disaster makes her life chaotic, her family**, her harbor becomes shattered.
Zhou Yi's world has become chaotic, and she needs to face the choice of whether to live with her mother or her father. This was a difficult decision, because Zhou Yi didn't know if it was a whim or a premeditated decision by his parents.
Little Zhou Yi encountered many difficulties in the process of growing up. After the court awarded her to her father, her mother left her and never reappeared. His father became so frightened that Xiao Zhou Yi didn't even dare to get close to him.
He began to drink heavily, and his career was ruined. Coupled with the fact that he has no skills and has never cooked a home-cooked meal for his daughter, Xiao Zhouyi's life has become very difficult. To make matters worse, her father went to the police station for a fight, leaving her facing difficulties again.
It was a heart-wrenching day, the police came to the house and took Xiao Zhouyi's father away without saying anything. At the moment when his father was taken away, Xiao Zhou Yi went from being carefree"Little princess"and turned into a displaced one"Little wandering"。
Because of her home, she could not be provided with any support, and there was no food in the empty room. In the days when there was no food, Xiao Zhouyi's life was even more difficult.
She was forced to live in the streets, exposed to the sun and rain, and starved. The happy life in the past was like a dream, and the current life is like a bubble in the sun.
However, Xiao Zhou Yi still doesn't understand all this. She only knows that her life now is very different from before. In the past, she had endless beautiful clothes, endless cartoons, and endless candy ice cream.
There are also many children who play well and all kinds of Barbie dolls. Now, she has nothing but a trash can, crawling with flies. This cruel fact made Xiao Zhou Yi understand that life is full of unknowns, and we must learn to adapt and be strong.
No matter how difficult life is, you can't give up your hopes and dreams. Because only by experiencing the bitterness of life can we cherish the sweetness of the future even more.
Xiao Zhouyi's situation was heart-wrenching, and everyone reached out to help and called the police for help. When the local police learned of the situation, they immediately found her and sent her to the aid station.
However, Xiao Zhou Yi seemed unable to adapt to group life, thinking about her father and fearing that his father would not find her, so one night, she secretly ran out of the aid station and continued to wander the streets.
In the dark, Xiao Zhouyi's fate seemed to have been arranged, she waited and waited, and did not wait for her father to pick her back, but met a strange uncle at night.
The thirty-year-old uncle saw that Xiao Zhou Yi was struggling to find food in the trash can, and he silently stretched out his big hand from behind to warm the defenseless Xiao Zhou Yi.
Looking at the strange man in front of her, Xiao Zhou Yi was stunned, she obediently told the man that she was looking for food, and waited for her father to pick her up.
The man was very smart, and soon found out that little Zhou Yi was a vagabond. Then, without saying much, he just took the little girl by the hand and slowly walked to the train carriage and told her that he would take her to her father.
Unbeknownst to the little girl, however, they were quietly moving farther and farther away from her father. Beginning her journey to find her relatives, Xiao Zhouyi unknowingly got on the train and watched the railing outside the window run fast like an athlete in a 100-meter sprint.
She didn't know that this man would take her there, and she gradually had a question in her heart: "Can I really find my father?" Eventually, the man took her to Chengguan Town, Shibing County, a small town in the mountainous southeast of Guizhou Province.
Before parting, the man specially told her: "Children should be obedient, don't run around, you live well with adults first, I will come to you in a few days, take you to find your father, you have to be obedient." ”
The innocent little Zhou Yi forced a smile, his eyes were full of panic, and he was full of expectations that the man could come to pick her up as soon as possible. After the man left, she would sit at the door and wait every day, and the wait was more than 30 years, and the years flew by.
When Xiao Zhou Yi was a child, he often asked about his adoptive parents and uncle, but every time he was evaded by adults. Gradually, she learns not to ask any questions anymore, but just quietly waits for time to pass and allows herself to grow up.
When she was growing up, although she had read books for a few years and knew a lot of words, when she reached middle school, due to the poverty of her adoptive parents, she took the initiative to drop out of school to support her family.
Despite her nostalgia for school life, she never regretted her decision. She is very grateful that her adoptive parents did not abuse her, and she is very lucky compared to other miserable children under the fence.
No matter what is delicious, her adoptive parents will leave it to her first, her adoptive father often picks wild fruits for her, and her adoptive mother will comb her hair and tie it every day, and when it comes to the Chinese New Year, she will have new clothes to wear.
This kind of life makes her feel very satisfied, the only regret is that because she is a "black household", she has no ID card and lacks a pass to gain a foothold in society.
Although she did not have an ID card, this did not prevent her from getting married and having children. While working in the town, she met a man and their relationship developed very well, so they decided to get married.
However, because they couldn't get a marriage certificate, they could only simply set up a few tables to celebrate this special day. After marriage, she gave birth to two children for her husband's family, and although the life of the family of four was crowded, they lived very happily because her in-laws and adoptive parents were always willing to lend a helping hand and help them with various trivial matters.
Zhou Yi is very grateful for all this, and her heart is full of love for life. However, despite her gratitude to her in-laws and adoptive parents for their affection, she still misses her biological parents.
She is taking care of her children at home and planning to meet her father, because she knows that only then can she truly let go of her worries. As her children grew older, her desire to see her father grew stronger, and one day, she mustered up the courage to come up with the idea.
Zhou Yi is a master of words and feelings, she first talked about the abduction and trafficking incident she saw on the TV news, and then curiously asked about the world outside Chengguan Town.
Zhou Yi's adoptive parents and in-laws are not stupid and stubborn people, they clearly know that the child is missing his relatives. At this moment, everyone didn't know what to say or what not to say, so they had to be silent.
In fact, everyone knows Zhou Yi's deep suffering, they all express their understanding, and hope that one day she can find her biological parents. Later, Zhou Yi found a public welfare ** called "Baby Come Home" on the Internet, she registered and filled in the information according to the prompts, although she didn't have much hope in her heart, but she didn't expect to receive a response two months later.
At the end of 2018, it is said that a volunteer named Ding Chao from southeast Qiandong, through big data and various information, found a person suspected of Zhou Yi's father, who was in Dalian and had verified with volunteers in the city there.
Therefore, they suggested that Zhou Yi go to Dalian to confirm.
When she heard the news, tears welled up in her eyes and she immediately told her family, and everyone was very supportive of her continuing the search. So, the volunteer told her that the next step was to collect blood for DNA comparison.
The days that followed were long and anxious, but the answer was finally revealed at the end of January 2019. DNA comparison results show that Zhou Yi and the Dalian man are related by blood - they are biological father and daughter.
The road to finding relatives is full of thorns, but fortunately, there are always people in this world who are willing to lend a hand. Time doesn't lie, and after a united search, Zhou Yi and her father met for the first time after more than 30 years of separation.
This miracle is possible thanks to modern technology and the selfless dedication of volunteers. On February 22, 2019, Zhou Yi walked at Kailinan Station with a heavy suitcase, carefully carrying an ID card in his arms.
The ** ID card is not an easy task, it was Zhou Yi in the Ganzijing District Public Security Bureau, under the guidance of the police comrades, who took great pains to get it done. Before leaving, she had made full preparations, so although the trip to find her father was time-consuming, there were not many twists and turns.
However, when she sat on the bus and departed from Kaili South Station to Beijing for a transfer, her heart was full of worry. She misses her father more and more, and even as the years go by, she still can't forget him.
Zhou Yi leaned back on the chair, looked out the window, and his thoughts drifted to the clouds on the horizon. The car swayed forward until the morning of February 23, when she successfully arrived at Dalian North Railway Station.
At this time, the weather was a little cold, and the chill when she got out of the station got into her collar, making her shiver, as if she was back to the feeling of playing with her friends as a child.
Zhou Yi looked around with nostalgia, and the crowd was bustling, reminding her of the day when she went to the amusement park with her father......"Hello, are you Zhou Yi? ”
A greeting suddenly sounded in her ears, and she looked back to see a girl about her height standing there, looking at her. She was a little puzzled, her eyes swept over the girl, and when she saw that she was wearing the same ** as herself, she thought to herself, "What's going on?."”
Then, the girl briefly introduced herself to her, saying that she was a volunteer from Dalian who had come to pick her up with her father, who had not seen each other for more than 30 years.
When Zhou Yi heard the word "father", he subconsciously turned his body and looked for his figure with his eyes. Probably because of the deep relationship between father and daughter, after a while, Zhou Yi and her father recognized each other, and the moment their eyes met, it seemed that a powerful electric current passed through their bodies.
Zhou Yi left his hometown for more than 30 years, and when he saw his father for the first time, his mood was as complicated as a flood wave. The father also saw his daughter for the first time, and he had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. Zhou Yi took the lead in breaking the silence and called "Dad", the father woke up like a dream, his body suddenly moved, walked to his daughter in three steps and two steps, and hugged her into his arms.
Although Zhou's father was a man, he still cried in front of everyone, because he was anxious about his daughter. Zhou Yi couldn't cry for a long time, but he didn't make a sound. Under the reminder of the volunteers, the two slowly separated and looked at each other's faces for a long time.
If it weren't for the kind reminder of the volunteers, I'm afraid the father and daughter would have forgotten the passage of time. With the assistance of volunteers, the father and daughter laughed like icebreakers and had a relaxed conversation.
While talking and laughing, the father proposed to go home first, and then take his daughter around to get acquainted with the environment. Seeing this, the daughter was not polite, and naturally handed her father a package, and the two walked into the house one after the other.
As soon as she entered the door, her daughter was pleasantly surprised, she felt that the atmosphere around her was the same as what she liked, without the slightest strangeness, looking and smelling everywhere. Since they got home, cleaning up was the first thing they had to do, so the father and daughter tacitly began to work together, intending to clean up the house inside and out.
While cleaning, the father told his daughter: I'm sorry, child, if it weren't for the father's incompetence, you wouldn't have been trafficked so far.
Back then, my father was in prison, but I didn't expect it to affect you. When I came out and searched everywhere and couldn't find you, I realized that my daughter might have been abducted. Zhou's father said, emotional, Zhou Yi put down the broom and walked to his father, snuggled on his father's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, don't think about those unhappy things, although I had a hard time at that time, but if I hadn't been taken so far away, my daughter might have starved to death on the street."
Isn't that how good I am now? From now on, let's relax and live our lives well. Father Zhou listened to his daughter's persuasion, felt a little relieved, wiped away his tears, nodded, and continued to help Zhou Yi clean the house.
It turned out that after he was released from prison, he searched for his daughter everywhere but found nothing, and the longer he passed, the more desperate he became. Because he was too focused on finding his daughter and did not find a stable job to make money, his life gradually fell into trouble, and the motivation and courage to find his daughter gradually faded.
Zhou's father misses his daughter and often talks to himself, hoping that she will be raised by rich people and live a happy life. Although he can't give it himself, he still looks forward to being reunited with his daughter.
After years of waiting, his wish finally came true, thanks to the help of kind-hearted volunteers. Seeing his daughter happy, Zhou's father was full of joy and gratitude to the volunteers.
They were busy all day, throwing out garbage and shopping together, and the neighbors saw them and came to visit, bringing fruits and seafood, and being hospitable.
Zhou Yi warmly received all kinds of greeting gifts, and his house was filled with gifts from the inner and outer three floors. He invited them over for dinner, saying that they hadn't seen each other for many years and wanted to get together.
In the evening, the house was already surrounded by water, and everyone sat neatly at the large dining table, which was full of Zhou Yi's best dishes. When the last dish was served, Zhou Yi took off his apron, raised a glass of wine, and thanked everyone, saying that thanks to the help of the people around him over the years, his father's life can live a healthy and ...... lifeZhou Yi's words made the originally cramped atmosphere lively, and everyone shook their heads and said, "What did Xiao Zhou say?"
We are all old acquaintances, who will you help if you don't help your father? Now, seeing your father and daughter reunited, it's too late for us to be happy, so do we need you to thank you? Saying that, everyone ate by themselves, and talked about the wine, which was very lively.
Seeing that his father and the neighbors got along very well, Zhou Yi's eyes moistened.
After Zhou Yi and her father cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she told her father that she planned to return to Guizhou because she had two grandchildren to take care of. Her current husband cares about her very much, and they are going to get the certificate, otherwise the child will not be able to get a household registration.
She reassured her father that he should not feel guilty because the situation was a last resort. Moreover, her adoptive parents treat her as their own, and her current in-laws are also very good to her.
The father just nodded, and tears could not help but flow. Two days later, the father came to the station to see off his daughter, although his heart was full of reluctance and regret, he knew that this was only a temporary parting, and they would definitely meet again.
