بكين: اجتمع صيني في الستينيات من عمره بوالده لأول مرة في حياته، وذلك بعد 58 عامًا من خطفه.

وكان «فو» «60 عامًا» لا يزال رضيعًا عندما تم اختطافه من والده في محطة سكة حديد بمنطقة «شويتشينغ» الصينية عام 1963. وقال الأب «لوو» «90 عامًا» إنه كان قد ترك يد ابنه للحظات قبل أن يختفي في غضون دقائق. وقالت صحيفة «ميرور» البريطانية، إنه تم لمّ شمل الأب وابنه بعد 58 عامًا، يوم الثلاثاء الماضي في مدينة «تساوتشوانغ».

ويُعتقد أن مهربي بشر اختطفوا «فو» وذهبوا به إلى شنغهاي، حيث تم تبنيه من قِبل زوجين، وكان «لوو» وعائلته في رحلة بحث عن «فو» لسنوات عدة مستعينين بالصحف ووسائل الإعلام ومواقع التواصل الاجتماعي.
