This is the 1004th real person we tell
My name is Dingquan'an. I am 57 years old this year. I am an old man born in the countryside, raised in the countryside, and married in the countryside. Now I live in Yanhe Avenue, Chibi City, Xianning City, Hubei Province.
My life is ill-fated. When I was young, my husband died of leukemia and . I worked hard to raise a pair of children and worried about the children to get married. I thought my hardships were over, but on August 28, 2019, my only grandson, Wei Lihang, disappeared inexplicably at my grandmother's house.
Because of the disappearance of his grandson, his daughter-in-law was severely hit and was in a daze all day long. The son-in-law also broke her leg while looking for the child. In order to find a grandson, my son stopped working and our family spent all their savings. With difficulty, I had to let my son go to work and support my family again. And I, an old man over fifty years old, embarked on the long journey of searching for my grandchildren alone...
(My baby grandson Wei Lihang, where are you?)
When I was 32 years old, my husband died of leukemia. At that time, my children were still young, and my family’s debts and farm work were all on my shoulders. Although the situation is very difficult, I never thought of remarrying to share the pressure, so I gritted my teeth and worked hard to raise a pair of children.
Because of family poverty, my son and daughter both went to junior high school and dropped out of school, but I did not let them stay in the countryside to do farm work. Instead, let them learn a skill and have a better way to make a living in the future. Under my arrangement, my son went to learn how to cook and my daughter went to learn how to beautify.
After sending the children out, I also worked outside and sold breakfast. Although life is very hard, I am never depressed and cheer myself up every day : Persist on! Only when my daughter has a good home and my son gets a wife can I finish the most difficult task and comfort my husband in the dark.
With the concerted efforts of my children and I, I finally saved some savings, so we bought a second-hand house in Chibi County, Xianning City, Hubei Province. Later, I worried about getting married to my son and my daughter married in the local area.
(3 years before my grandson disappeared, I was inseparable from me every day)
My son got married in 2015, and then my baby grandson Wei Lihang was born on July 26, 2016.
The birth of a grandson has added endless joy and happiness to our family. I, a young widow who suffered from suffering back then, was finally promoted to the grandmother of Han Yi's grandson, which made me feel that the suffering I had insignificant.
I regard my grandson as my heart, so I always call him Hangbao.
Because my son works as a chef in a restaurant in the city and my daughter-in-law helps others sell clothes in a clothing store, I bring Hangbao almost day and night. After Hangbao was one year old, in order to earn a higher salary, his son and daughter-in-law wanted to work in a large southern city.
In order to make the children earn more money, I brought the air treasure at home alone. It is not easy to take care of a baby who is learning to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day, worry about his health and safety, and do various housework.
But as long as I see my grandson’s childish and cute smiling face and hear his silly call me grandma, my fatigue will run out of the sky.
But I never expected that the happy and happy time came to an abrupt end after only three years. On August 28, 2019, a sudden bad luck came to us.
This matter starts from August 25, 2019, when his son and his wife came back from working in another place that day. The third day after I came back, on the morning of August 28, my son and daughter-in-law were still sleeping, so I took Hangbao to the kindergarten to register. Because the kindergarten is about to start, the teacher notified me to fill in the information.
I took Hangbao to fill in the information in the kindergarten and stayed there for a while. At this time, my son called me and said that the couple wanted to take Hangbao to my grandmother's house and asked me to bring Hangbao back.
(How warm the picture of the grandson celebrating his first birthday)
I brought the child back, and the three of them happily went to their daughter-in-law's house.Who knew that they didn't come back until dark and didn't call to explain the situation. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, I was restless at home alone and vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen.
was about to call my son when a message popped up from a group of relatives on my phone stunned me. It turned out that this afternoon, my baby grandson disappeared at my grandmother's house. Relatives and friends have helped forward the information about children.
At that time, I felt unbelievable, and my mind felt like I was hit hard by a stick and it hurt and dizzy. Just when I was almost collapsed, my daughter who was working in Shenzhen also saw the information in the group and quickly called me: "Mom, is our Air Airlines lost? Is it true? What should I do?" I said I will take a taxi to Hangbao's grandmother's house immediately to see what's going on.
I was anxious and waited on the roadside for a long time and finally met a taxi and rushed to the child's grandmother's house. It was already midnight there, and everyone was still looking for children everywhere.
After asking, I realized that that afternoon, my grandmother had a six-year-old cousin who took Hangbao and two other children to another village to play. That village is more than one mile away from the child’s grandmother’s house. Four children went to a family and went in to watch TV.
Maybe Hangbao was not interested in TV later and wanted to go back to his grandmother's house, so he came out. He didn't tell his cousin at that time, nor did his cousin pay attention. When they found out that Hangbao was missing, their families searched all over the villages and did not find them.
My son immediately called the police. After receiving the call, the police said that they would wait until the person was missing for 24 hours before the investigation was filed. Let us look for it first.
(My Hangbao is a strong, lively and cute child)
There was no way, so everyone went all out to search, but after searching for it for most of the night, they found nothing. When I learned about this, my heart was like a knife, and my tears were like springs. The daughter-in-law had already cried and was sitting there as lost as a wooden stake.
Until the next afternoon, we had not found the child until 24 hours later, so the police came forward. The actions they took were also done very well, including the patrol police of the local police station, all members of the criminal investigation brigade, and some volunteers. There were several people coming from
, and they also used police dogs to conduct carpet-style searches on every piece of land in front and behind the child's grandmother's house. I went up the mountains, went down the river, and leaped into the woods, and looked for them everywhere, but there were still no clues found.
Later, the police retrieved the private surveillance cameras of a nearby family in the incident. Surveillance monitor shows that Hangbao once passed by the door of that house at four o'clock in the afternoon. This position happened to be the opposite direction of Hui Hangbao's grandmother's house. From this, it is inferred that Hangbao wanted to go back to his grandmother's house, but went in the wrong direction.
The police continued to check on the surveillance, and the surveillance showed that Hangbao later encountered two men and women. But the two people just talked about something and didn't touch the child.
Because these two people had seen Hangbao before he disappeared, the police quickly found the two people and asked.
One of these two people is an elderly man who is on a cane because of a stroke. The other is a woman in her forties. Although the old man suffered a stroke, his thinking was clear. He told the police that they had met my Hangbao at that time.
Because he knew Hangbao's grandfather, he said to the woman: "This child is the grandson of the XX family, please help me send him to my grandmother's house." But the woman refused. As for what happened to the child when he walked forward later, they didn't know.
(The smiling face of my grandson makes me cry now)
Although the woman was a little selfish, she didn't help send Hangbao back to her grandmother's house, and it was not illegal. We can't say anything about him.
is like this, it seems like a clue, but it is interrupted like this. Because Hangbao's grandmother's house is in the countryside, and there are very few families who install private surveillance in nearby villages, so Hangbao met later and had no way to know what happened.
The day after Hangbao was lost, my daughter and son-in-law rushed back from Shenzhen overnight, so they also participated in the police search.Unexpectedly, during the search, my son-in-law accidentally broke his leg again. This is really a disaster, and it is a worse situation for our family.
That period was the most difficult stage in our family, but we did not delay the day when it comes to finding children.
The son no longer works, and he is running around every day on the road to finding Hangbao. I posted missing people everywhere, and asked about people when I saw them with photos of Hangbao. Every day at home, I feel as if I am so happy, and I silently pray that my baby grandson can be safe and safe no matter where he is, waiting for his father to find him.
Although I am sad and sad, I still cheer up and cook this home. Since Hangbao disappeared, his daughter-in-law has been seriously irritated. I was in a daze all day, either crying silently or being dazed.
was originally a well-educated person, but in order to find children, he blindly believed in those fortune tellers. As long as others say how to do it, they can find the child, and she will do it. He also always sends money to others hundreds of times to seek "a magical recipe for smart signs".
(I was a happy grandmother when my grandson was by my side)
Seeing that she wasted a lot of money because of superstition, some relatives and friends said that she was doing something random and wanted to dissuade her. I said, "Don't blame her, just let her do it. It doesn't matter whether it is useful or not. She will be willing to do it only by asking her to spend some money. Always let her suppress it, she will get sick."
The reason why I followed my daughter-in-law was because I had lost my grandson and didn't want to make any accidents happen to my daughter-in-law.
In this way, I took care of my daughter-in-law at home, and my son was running around looking for the child outside, and it lasted until the end of 2020. Gradually, the family's savings were spent. If everyone doesn’t go to work, there will be no source of income, but life will continue in the future!
So, I said to my son, "If you look for Hangbao, you can't find it everywhere without clues. Now you can only rely on the Internet and luck, and then wait for the police news. Life has to continue, you should go to work! You should focus on supporting your family, and your daughter-in-law will focus on supporting your body, and leave it to me about finding Hangbao. I will definitely work hard to get Hangbao back!"
So at the end of 2020, I applied for an account, started making short videos, and spreading information about looking for grandson. It was also during the process of posting the video that I met many friends who were looking for people. Everyone established many family search groups, encouraged and cheered each other, and helped each other spread information.
Because I am an old man in my 50s and have no education, I am not very proficient in making videos. Everyone enthusiastically helped me and taught me how to make and edit text. Gradually, my account attracted a lot of attention.
In order to find a grandson, I also went to the Anti-Training Office of the Wuhan Provincial Public Security Department to petition and reported our situation to them. The leaders of the Anti-Training Office also attached great importance to it and issued his instructions to our county town to urge the Anti-Training Office in our county town to deal with this matter.
I also know that without reliable information and clues, the anti-trafficking office is powerless. But for me, I have to do my best. I work hard online and offline, which is better than leaving it to fate.
(My son is also trying to find a way to find Hangbao when working outside)
During the process of posting videos, I also met some people who provided clues on the Internet, but many of them wanted money. Although I am eager to find my grandson, I am not so confused that I can't tell the difference between true and false. So, I never made money from others easily.
However, there are some clues on the Internet that are very clear. Once, I sent a video and a netizen with Anhui coordinate left me a message saying, "I have seen this child, right here."
When I saw this message, I was very excited and quickly sent a private message to her and asked her where she had seen my Hangbao and what was the situation when she saw the child.
She didn't say what was going on when she saw the child, she only said that she had seen him in Shengtang Township, Yingshang County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province. Later, I asked her repeatedly, and she became impatient and said, "I have told you the address several times. You can find it yourself. I don't know where the child is now."
At that time, I inferred that this news should have some authenticity. If it was not authentic, she would not have been able to say such a specific place name.Then I studied with my family and asked them whether the clue was reliable, and then I had to go there alone.
(Sun Haiyang, a charity man who is looking for a relative, helps us promote and introduce)
People in the family were worried that I went to Anhui alone to find a child, worried about what to do if I met a bad person. I said, "Don't worry! I am an old lady and have no money. Even if there are bad people, how can they do to me? I went there and contact you every day to let you know my whereabouts."
Then, I took a bus to Shengtang Township, Yingshang County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province. When I arrived in Shengtang Township, I found out the kindergartens in Shengtang Township and around Shengtang Township through the online map, and recorded all the kindergarten names in a small notebook.
In the past, when I went to other cities to look for air treasures, I always posted missing person notices everywhere. But this time I didn't do that because I was worried that doing so would alert the enemy, and it would be troublesome for the other party to hide the treasure of Hang.
Next, my way of searching is to start quietly from kindergarten. I think Hangbao is only four or five years old, and I love him very much when I buy it. I will definitely send him to kindergarten to school. There are several kindergartens in Shengtang Township, only one is public.
First of all, I went to a private kindergarten called Red Sun. Because of the netizen who provided me with clues and addresses, I have viewed all her videos. She is a woman, and I also found that she has a friend who works in this Red Sun Kindergarten.
I plan to go to that kindergarten first to take a closer look and check all the children. In order to successfully complete my plan, I thought of a solution. When the gate saw that I had a foreign accent, I asked me what was wrong. I said, "My daughter is married here from afar, and my grandson is preparing to go to kindergarten, so come to your kindergarten to learn about the situation."
(Mr. Zhang and caring people help us promote it vigorously)
He was very happy when he heard it, and said enthusiastically, "Yes, come in!" After I entered the kindergarten, a teacher introduced me while walking. I asked her if I could observe every classroom, and she said yes. Then I read all the kindergarten’s primary, secondary and primary classes.
Every time I enter a classroom, I open my eyes wide and look at every child’s face to see if there is any air treasure from our family. But after watching all the children in the class, they didn’t find my baby grandson.
Later, I also used this method to search all the private kindergartens in Shengtang Township, and in the end there was only one public kindergarten left. However, the management of public kindergartens is very strict, and there was an epidemic at that time, so they did not allow non-parents to enter. Although I couldn't get in, I didn't give up. I used the stupidest and most energy-intensive method, and I squatted near the kindergarten every morning and after school in the afternoon. When parents send their children to pick them up, I stared at them without blinking, hoping that my airbag would suddenly appear.
But I observed it for several days and still found nothing. After the entire kindergarten in Shengtang Township was investigated, I went to the kindergarten around Shengtang Township to search. It took more than 20 days to find any clues.
(On the way to find relatives, I traveled with many relatives)
At this time, my son called me and asked me to come back quickly. Because I am old and wandering around every day, it is very unsafe and my body cannot bear it. I came back at my son's urging.
Later, I have been to many cities, and I have distributed cards for finding people in places with dense crowds such as train stations and hospitals, and posted them where I can post missing people notices.
In the winter of 2021, I traveled thousands of miles to attend other people's recognizing relatives, just want to spread the information on finding grandsons on a larger scale and meet more kind-hearted people who help find relatives.
After posting videos of looking for grandson every day, I will also read and reply to every message carefully. At that time, while I was doing chores for the restaurant, I was looking for my grandson online, so the reply messages were all at night.
I remember that there was a video with a total of 800,000 or 900,000 views, and the messages were also dense. I was still busy until midnight, and I read and replied to every comment from enthusiastic netizens.I think it is not easy for an elderly person to accumulate 29,000 fans online, and I am also very grateful to those fans who support me from afar.
I think those enthusiastic netizens don’t know me before. When others see my works, they are willing to give me a word of encouragement or comfort, and I should thank others. At the same time, I also saw in the comment section whether anyone provided clues about Hangbao.
(I will go over to participate wherever there is a search activity)
Later, enthusiastic netizens suggested that I start a live broadcast to spread search information so that others can understand the situation more specifically. So, my old lady over 50 years old tried to do live broadcasts again, which started broadcasting for two hours every morning. After more than ten days of doing it, I gradually realized that my throat was very painful during the live broadcast, and then I went to the county hospital for examination.
After the doctor checked, he said that I was in thyroid nodule 4a. In other words, it has been covered with vicious edges. I felt very nervous when I heard this. Because when my husband was sick, there was a problem with the thyroid on my right and it had been removed. Now there is also a problem with the thyroid gland on the left, so the whole family is very worried, so they accompanied me to the cancer hospital in the provincial capital for examination. After checking
, it not only said that there is a problem with thyroid nodule , but also lymph node , and there is also hyperthyroidism. At present, we can only take methimazole tablets for the time being to control it. After seven days, we will check the blood and regular and liver function.
So now I not only can’t do live broadcasts, but also have no ability to find my grandson everywhere, and can only spread information on the Internet.
I hope that all kind-hearted people can pay attention to our unfortunate family, help us pay attention to whether there are 6-year-old boys around us who look very similar to my grandson, and provide us with clues in time. Infinite gratitude!
I also hope that God can protect my grandson Wei Lihang from peace and safety, waiting for his family to find him. I believe that one day I will find my baby grandson and share the joy of family with him!
