This is the 959th real person we tell
"Mom save me, I'm looking for mom..."
Three men with sting eyebrows and rat eyes pounced on the three little girls like an eagle catching a chick. The children screamed in panic and dodged, but were still caught by the evil ones. They picked up their children and stuffed them into the van they had been waiting for, then closed the door and the van rushed away.
"You bastards, let my daughter go..."
I shouted and woke up from the nightmare, feeling sweating profusely. In addition to the terrifying dreams, there are also my tears. And the terrible dream of has tortured me for 21 years.
(My daughter Li Xiaomei, three and a half years old when she disappeared)
My name is Chen Fuxiang
(The youngest daughter Li Xiaomei took a photo with her sister and brother back then)
In October 2001, the child's grandfather suddenly had a myocardial infarction on the way to the market in the town and died of a failure to rescue him in time. Upon hearing this bad news, my husband and I hurriedly took my Li Xiaomei back to our hometown.
After the old man was buried, there was still the "first seven" funeral custom, so at that time, the whole family gathered at her mother-in-law's house.
That day was November 15th. After the guests left, my husband and I were going out to do something. Before leaving, I saw my mother-in-law packing things and the child's second aunt was washing clothes. Li Xiaomei, the little daughter, was playing with a group of children in the yard. We told my mother-in-law to worry about how many children she was.
We left the door at around 9:00 in the morning. At that time, the second aunt of the child suddenly called and told us anxiously and panic: "Brother, sister-in-law, something big happened! The three babies in our family are gone! Come back quickly!"
When I heard this, it was like five thunder thunder. I thought that something had happened to my three children, and I suddenly fell to the ground with my legs limp. My husband reacted quickly and quickly comforted me: "Aren't our eldest and second brother still in school today? It's impossible to lose it."
Then he carefully asked the child's second aunt what was going on.
After listening to the reinterpretation of the second aunt of the child, we realized that the three children lost were two girls from my Li Xiaomei and my brother-in-law's family: Li Fen and Li Jie. These three girls are only three or four years old.

My husband and I didn't care about asking for details, so we hurried home anxiously. As soon as we entered the village, we saw our family and neighbors searching everywhere. After asking, I learned that the three little sisters were playing by the village with a neighbor's child. Later, the neighbor's child was taken away by his parents, leaving only the three girls in my family.
learned about this, so we hurried to the police station to call the police. But there was no clue provided to the police, and they could do nothing, so we asked us to go back and wait for news.
There are dense jungles on the edge of the old village and on both sides of the main road. Except for people in front of the village and behind the camp, there are basically no foreigners coming, and I have never heard of the incident of children being abducted and stolen. So at the beginning, no one considered that it was the human trafficker who kidnapped the three children, and they thought the children ran to the jungle to play and got lost.
Because my Li Xiaomei just came back from Shenzhen, the two little girls from my brother-in-law's house have been living in my grandmother's house, so everyone thinks that the three of them must be unfamiliar with the road conditions and lost them. But after searching for more than half an hour, there were no children in the main road, the small road and the jungle.

Everyone talked about it again, guessing whether the children would fall into the pond and have an accident, otherwise they would have called for so long that they should have responded long ago. So everyone went to the ponds and ditches to check them again, and even stirred the abandoned cesspools. But there are still no children.
Everyone guessed whether the children went to the mountain to play, because there were wild fruits on the mountain at that time. So a group of people started a net search and searched every piece of land on the hillside. We shouted the names of the three children at the top of our lungs while pounding the gong. I was worried that the children would fall and fall and fall into a coma, so I wanted to wake them up with a gong.
But we kept finding the evening, and found nothing after searching the villages, hillsides and woods within a few miles.
dragged his exhausted body back home. Although he was hungry, the whole family was not in a mood to eat. The men were smoking and sighing, while the women were frowning and crying.
That night we were lying in bed and tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. The door was also open, hoping that the children would come back suddenly. However, no miracles occurred until dawn. Only then did we realize that the children could not have been lost, but were probably abducted by human traffickers.
(I have been looking for three children for 21 years, and my husband and I are getting older day by day)
Early the next morning, we hurried to the town to print the missing person notice and post it everywhere. We also asked acquaintances to contact the media and broadcast missing person notices on Southern Metropolis Daily and Zhujiang TV.
Although we worked hard, there was no response after more than a month. During those days, I felt like I was tortured in purgatory every day. Thinking of such a young three children falling into the hands of bad people, I was worried that there would be more misfortunes.
Later, we inquired from multiple sources and accidentally got a clue. A woman from Guangxi took a little girl and lived in the house of a bachelor in the neighboring village for a while. Later, the woman left, leaving only the little girl behind. The person who provided the clues said that the Guangxi woman was probably a personal trafficker. Let us confirm whether the little girl would be related to the child lost to our Li family.
Although the situation is unknown, we are still as full of hope as if we saw a beam of light in the dark. My husband and I immediately went straight to the bachelor's house. The man was very repulsive to us, but we still broke into the house and saw the little girl.
(My eldest daughter and I look very similar to my eldest daughter)
At that time, the little girl was lying on the bed with a fever, her back facing us, as if she didn't want to see anyone. But from the back we can tell that it is not my Li Xiaomei. Moreover, my Li Xiaomei had scars burned by boiling water on her instep, and that little girl didn't.
After leaving the bachelor's house, I still couldn't let go of that little girl. I thought: Although she is not my child, her origin is unknown, so I should help her. So I provided the suspicious information to the police station. As for the situation later, I don't know.
In the next few years, we were no longer in the mood to do business and were running around looking for children.
Although they were sad and anxious after their two daughters were lost, they were worried that they would not be able to find the child, so they gave birth to two more children and a daughter. Let us hang up photos and information about Li Jie and Li Fen while looking for my Li Xiaomei. So, we have always looked for it together with three children.
Once, someone told us that a welfare home in Guangzhou happened to take in three little girls recently. Could it happen to be the three sisters of our Li family? I was very surprised at that time and thought that they were just three wandering children, maybe they were the three girls in our Li family. At the same time, I feel very uncomfortable. I wonder what these three children have become like when they sleep in the open over the years.
(A daughter is missing, and we don’t want to taste delicious food during festivals)
Just as dawn the next morning, I took a bus to the welfare home in Guangzhou. After explaining the situation, the staff were very enthusiastic and immediately brought the three girls over, but they all looked different.
At that time, my heart was as painful and cold as if it was thrown into an ice cellar. I couldn't control my pain and disappointment, and sat there and started crying.
During those years, we went there many times when we were getting clues with hope, and then came back with disappointment. This feeling of hope and disappointment is exhausted.
However, we never gave up looking. Until 2006, our family's previous savings were almost spent, and the two older children were getting more and more expensive to study. There was no way, so my husband and I continued to work hard.
But later, the child's grandmother fell ill again. Her illness is actually a heart disease, mainly caused by the disappearance of the three girls in our Li family.
After the three children disappeared, the old lady looked around at the entrance of the village every day, hoping that her three granddaughters would come back one day. She also often complains about herself, thinking that the disappearance of her three children is her responsibility.
Because she had been depressed for a long time, and she accidentally fell down later, she ended up falling ill. Until the time of death, I still couldn't let go of these three granddaughters, and I repeatedly told us to find them back.
(I and the anti-trafficking volunteers on the way to find relatives)
Although there has never been a clue for three children, we have never given up on the idea of searching. Later, with the development of the times, I asked my eldest daughter to help me post a missing person notice online. I gradually got to know many parents who are looking for relatives, including , Sun Haiyang , which has been successfully searching for children in recent years. Everyone helps each other and spreads information together. At the same time, we also cheer and encourage each other and strengthen our confidence in finding a child.
Later, I came into contact with short video platforms and saw many videos looking for relatives on it. Some of them were also successful in searching for relatives, which made me envious, so I also learned to make videos.
didn't understand it very much at the beginning, so I simply posted a few photos and posted them, with very few views. But I didn't give up and insisted on doing it. I firmly believe that one day I can also use the power of the Internet to get clues from my children.
I also pray every day that our three sisters in the Li family will also watch videos frequently, and just happened to see the content I posted. Then we will be able to reunite as soon as possible.
(Sun Haiyang, a charity charity person, helped us promote and introduce)
We have also participated in many other people's recognizing relatives, and want to use the popularity of others to spread the information we are looking for children. When I see the touching scenes of other people's fathers (mothers) and children recognizing each other, I am both happy for them and sad for the fact that my children have never heard of them. I have always encouraged myself and insisted on finding it. One day we can reunite with our family.
Later, I also met many volunteers who helped find relatives during the video process. After they joined our group, they enthusiastically helped us write copywriting, teach us how to make videos, and also helped us spread information about finding relatives.
It is with their help that our account has more and more fans, greatly expanding the scope of spreading people searching for people. I am very grateful to those volunteers who help find relatives. They are selfless and do not seek rewards. They are really kind.
Because our family lost three children at the same time, this incident was so eye-catching that it later attracted the attention of some news platforms. They also help us report events and spread information.
There is also a documentary director who made a documentary and contacted us when he learned about our family's situation and wanted to make a documentary for us, but it has not been officially carried out yet. But I think with the help of so many enthusiastic people, one day we will be able to get what we want and find my three children.
(My eldest daughter and son, Li Xiaomei looks very similar to her brother and sister)
However, if you look for people online, you will also encounter scammers. Once, a girl from Jilin coordinated and saw the video I sent me a private message and said, "Mom, I am Li Xiaomei who has been lost for more than 20 years. I miss you so much!" Then she said that she was in a difficult situation and she had no travel expenses to come to find me, so she asked me to send her money.
Although I look forward to my daughter, I will still not be blinded by strangers easily. So I said to her, "Then you send a video or post some photos of the present to me to see. If you are really my daughter, I will definitely send you a travel fee."
The other party later sent a photo and explained that he had grown up and became thinner, which was different from when he was a child. But as soon as I saw the photo, I immediately concluded that the other party was a liar, so I blocked her.
I haven't seen my little daughter for 21 years, and I know that my daughter changes a lot from her age. It may be very different from her appearance when she was three years old, but I can still infer what she looks like now. Because she looked very similar to her brother and sister when she was a child, and she still looked very similar when she grew up. But the photos sent by the liar didn't look like my eldest daughter and son at all.
also got suspected clues during the process of making short videos, but so far, no one looks very similar to my Li Xiaomei.
(21 years after looking for a daughter, my husband became an old man)
Because I have been worried about finding my daughter for many years and have become older, I have been severely nervous in the past two years, and sometimes I will forget things when I turn around. But what I will never forget is the search for my daughter, nor will I forget the brilliance and innocent appearance of my daughter when she was a child. My daughter has become an imprint in my mind that will never be erased, and her disappearance has also become my dream countless times.
For the past twenty years, I have missed her all the time. I was worried that she would not be able to eat enough or wear warmth, and I was even more worried that she would be abused. Every time I think of this, my heart is like a knife and tears are like rain.
Poor daughter! Where are you? Do you know how my mother spent so many years of life? I hope you can sense my call in the dark, run with me in both directions, and reunite with us as soon as possible.
I also pray that God will give mercy, and that I will not let me experience the pain of missing my daughter anymore, and bless me to find the clues of my daughter as soon as possible, take her home, and make up for her lack of maternal and fatherly love in the past 21 years!
