On March 4, 2018, the Xi'an Rescue Station received an 80-year-old man. After Toutiao Search released the news of the search for relatives, the old man's granddaughter saw the information about Toutiao Search and quickly contacted the rescue station. The old man was also successfully taken home.
This is the 4877th missing person who has been successfully found since its establishment of the Toutiao Search Charity Project; it is also the 4094th rescue station recipient who has cooperated with local rescue stations to help find his family.
The staff of Xi'an Rescue Station introduced that on March 4, 2018, the old man was rescued at the gate of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College and was immediately sent to the station. The old man was about 165cm tall, in an average mental state, with a Henan accent, and called himself Li Jingyun, suspected of Alzheimer's disease, and could not explain his home address and relative information.
In order to help him find his family as soon as possible, the staff of the rescue station organized his information and sent it to Toutiao to find someone. Toutiao Search immediately released the information of the recipient's relative search and pushed the information to some Toutiao users in Xi'an and Henan, hoping that kind-hearted people can provide clues when they see it. Not long after the
message was released, good news came from the rescue station: the old man's granddaughter had been contacted.
It turned out that not long after the information was released, the old man's granddaughter saw his grandfather's search notice on today's headlines and immediately contacted the rescue station. At present, the old man's family has arrived at the rescue station to pick him up.
"Thank you so much for your help. The elderly man suffers from Alzheimer's disease and his identity information cannot be provided. His family was very anxious when they found out that he was missing. Thanks to Toutiao's help from searching for people, they reunited the family so quickly." said the staff of the rescue station.
