The Travelling Van that Searches for Kidnapped Chinese Children
It is estimated that 30,000 to 60,000 children per year are trafficked in China.
We have reported more than 20 times on adoption schemes that involved the same human trafficking as described in this article.
This story (again) destroys the myth that Chinese families do not care about girls.
“Feng Jianlin’s daughter Feng Yun was kidnapped at the age of nine by human traffickers in 2008.
Three months after his daughter’s disappearance, Jianlin closed his tyre shop in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi province, and decorated his small truck with pictures of the girl and his phone number.
He has since travelled thousands of miles around China in a bid to find her.
He said: ‘We’ll never give up looking for her.”
‘My wife was overwhelmed and has been sick ever since. My other two daughters miss their sister a lot. We all need her.’
Feng Yun had just left home for afternoon classes in March 2008 when she vanished. Her parents appealed for help from the police and relatives in other cities, but their initial searches proved fruitless
But in the four years since his daughter went missing, Feng has never given up hope and has travelled thousands of miles around the country searching for her.
As time went by, he started to travel with the parents of other missing children and added their pictures and details to the side of his van.
Incredibly, Feng Jianlin has reunited nine parents with their lost children, but tragically is still to find his own daughter.”
Unfortunately, the money has run out
“Feng’s family now survives on a basic living allowance from the government.
Since Yun disappeared, they have burned through their entire savings and borrowed about 100,000 yuan – around £10,000 – from relatives.
Feng said: ‘The pain of failing to find our daughter tortures us every day. But we just can’t afford it anymore; we have two other daughters and my aging parents to care for.'”
