(ECNS) -- After 62 years of separation, a 66-year-old man met his family on Wednesday in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei, with the help of local police.

Qin Yansheng, 66, was lost in the bustling downtown area of Wuchang District, Wuhan, when he was four. Local police and his parents failed to find him at the time due to undeveloped communication channels. He was then adopted by a couple in Hongshan, another district of Wuhan.

Qin’s son tried to find his father’s family to fulfill the old man’s wish. In 2018, the son contacted a website helping lost children reunite with their families, helped by Wuhan police, who discovered Qin has siblings, but that his parents had passed away.

This reunion took 62 years, the longest in the city’s reunion history, said Wuhan police, which has helped 51 children find their families since 2021.
