26-year-old Pen from Shaanxi province in China called 2025 his "year of rebirth" one year after meeting his biological parents. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This was reported by China Morning Post. Pen's fate took a tragic turn at the age of four.
He was kidnapped at a market in Beijing and raised by a stranger family. Pen, who had no information about his real parents, lived away from his family for 21 years.
However, as he grew up, he was determined to find his family. To this end, he sold his house and car and started the search.
In December 2024, the police identified his real family through a DNA test and took Pen to Beijing to meet his relatives. After this meeting, he cut all ties with his previous life.
"These things do not belong to me. I chose to leave them behind," Pen said.
When he returned to his village, he was welcomed with great celebration. The local people performed traditional dances, and his relatives gave him gifts and red envelopes.
Pen described his feelings as follows: "This is what a real home means – feeling truly connected with the care of my parents, the love of my siblings, and the prayers of my relatives." Currently, Pen has dedicated himself to helping other lost individuals. He participates in the activities of the Baby Come Home organization, contributing to reuniting those separated from their families.
At the same time, he is trying to make up for the lost years with his parents and takes them on trips to various places.
