According to Yangtse Evening Post, Wang worked various odd jobs to fund his search. Over more than three decades, he traveled nearly 500,000 kilometers across much of China, first by tricycle, then by minivan, and later by small truck.
His son was eventually located in a residential area in Pudong, around 30 kilometers from where he had gone missing. Knowing he had been adopted, he had voluntarily submitted a DNA sample to authorities, which matched Wang’s records.
"I looked for my child everywhere for 33 years, but never imagined he was living just 30 kilometers from the place where he disappeared," Wang said.
Wang said his son has agreed to return to their hometown to meet relatives, and he plans to invite villagers to witness the long-awaited reunion.
