- He says he was taken at age four near a Beijing market shortly after his family moved there from Jiangxi.
- Police informed him last December of a DNA match to his Jiangxi relatives; he reunited in Beijing with his parents and two sisters, then returned to his village to a celebratory welcome.
- He left his life in Jiangsu, selling his house and car, quitting his job, transferring his hukou, and cutting off ties with the family that raised him.
- In 2025 he calls his new start a ‘rebirth’, volunteers to help families search for missing children, sells goods via social media, and donated his first livestream proceeds to Baby Come Home.
- Some mainland outlets have described his Jiangsu caregivers as the “buyer,” a characterization he has not confirmed; official data show recorded abduction and trafficking cases in 2021 were down 86.2% from 2013.
