A distraught father whose daughter went missing 24 years ago did not give up and continued his frantic search all these years.
Wang Mingqing and his wife, from Chengdu, China's Sichuan Province, had been looking for their daughter who was just 3 when she went missing in 1994. All their efforts paid off when their missing daughter named Kang Ying reached out to Mingqing after viewing news reports online, according to CGTN reports quoted in NDTV.
A DNA test on April 1 confirmed that the girl is Mingqing's long-lost daughter and now the parents are looking forward to a happy reunion as Kang Ying is scheduled to fly to Chengdu.
The girl went missing when her father Mingqing, who was a fruit-seller then, left his stall for a few minutes and returned to find that his daughter had disappeared. The parents lodged a missing report of their daughter, put up posters, and even checked children's shelters and hospitals in the hopes of finding her.
In a bid to find his daughter, Mingqing started driving a taxi in 2015 so that he could share his story with as many people as possible. He managed to reach out to nearly 17,000 people asking them to spread his message across the Internet.
Not only that, Mingqing handed out cards with a photo and information about his missing daughter to passengers and also displayed details on his taxi.
