Abducted for 24 years! This Chinese family is reunited at last

A Chinese man who was abducted as a toddler back in 1991 has been reunited with his father after 24 years.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Sun Bin was taken from his father at a market when he was just four-years-old. He was sold to a family in Jiangsu province on the coast of China, thousands of miles away.

Combat corruption with moral education; send a Bible to a child, or another person in need.

But on January 13, Bin was able to finally meet up with his father, 60-year-old Sun Youhong, as well as his younger sister whom he had never met.

"I was happy. I was grateful," said Youhong. "But I was also bitter."

China is one of the leading child trafficking nations in the world. Healthy boys are especially likely targets as potential adoptive families in China want male heirs to inherit the family line, and as such cost much more.

Just this month in a raid on a trafficking ring, Chinese police said they had rescued 37 newborn children, worth about $13,000 each.

Father and son has an emotional meeting at a police station in Chengdu, Sichuan province, were Bin fell to his knees and cried as he hugged his father for the first time.

When Bin first went missing, Youhong and his wife dropped everything and began searching. They posted search notices all around the area, and Bin's mother traveled to other cities and neighboring provinces in search of him.

2015 is your year to take care of your spiritual health.

Bin's mother died of cancer in 2011, unable to be reunited with her son.

"To find our son had been my wife's biggest wish in life," Youhong told China's state-run news service, Xinhua. "And days before she passed away she was constantly murmuring our son's name."
