Overview
- A police DNA match in December last year identified his Jiangxi origins and enabled a reunion in Beijing with his parents and two older sisters.
- Abducted at age four near a Beijing market, he was raised in Jiangsu under the name Zhang Kun.
- He quit his job, transferred his household registration, and sold his house and car to leave his Jiangsu life behind.
- He calls 2025 his “rebirth year,” now volunteering to help families search for missing children and donating livestream proceeds to Baby Come Home.
- Some mainland outlets have labeled the family who raised him as a “buyer,” a claim he has not confirmed, as China reports an 86% drop in reported abduction and trafficking cases since 2013.
