"i always believed that my second brother would be found." although the deaf-mute yang senlin could not hear what his sister yang zeng'an was saying, he still held her hand tightly, stared at her, and wiped away her tears. on september 14, the yanfeng branch of the hengyang public security bureau held a family recognition ceremony, and yang senlin reunited with his family, bringing his 22-year journey to find his family to an end.

in 2002, 12-year-old yang senlin had a fight with a village kid. fearing that he would be beaten by his father, he ran away from home alone and took a train from shangrao, jiangxi to hengyang, hunan, where he grew up in a welfare home in hengyang. in july this year, with the efforts of the hengyang social welfare institute and the criminal investigation team of the yanfeng district branch of the hengyang public security bureau, yang senlin found his family.

many years have passed, and yang senlin no longer has any resentment towards his father. his 73-year-old father is bedridden and unable to come to the scene. as the mid-autumn festival is approaching, yang senlin is preparing to go home with his mother, brother and sister to reunite and visit his father. he gestured with his hands, "i want to go back today."

fearing that his father would punish him for being naughty, he ran away from home at the age of 12.

in 2002, 12-year-old yang senlin beat a neighbor's child. fearing that his father would chase him and beat him with a rattan stick, he ran away from home alone. while running, he got lost and couldn't find his way home. he walked to the train station and boarded a train to hengyang. after being found at the hengyang railway station, he was sent to the hengyang welfare institute to be cared for and raised.

on june 15, 2020, accompanied by staff from the hengyang social welfare institute, yang senlin came to the criminal investigation brigade of the yanfeng district branch of the hengyang public security bureau and asked for help in finding his biological parents.

according to yang senlin's "self-report", his mother suffers from hearing impairment, and he has a father, an older brother and a younger sister. his sister has a black mole on her forehead, and he was wearing a black t-shirt when he went missing. the police took yang senlin's blood in time and entered the data into the national anti-trafficking system for comparison and search.

in july 2024, the criminal investigation brigade of the yanfeng district branch of the hengyang public security bureau received a national anti-trafficking system comparison order, which showed that yang senlin was related to a jiangxi couple, yang fucai and tang meilin. after blood sample verification and photo identification of both parties, the relationship between the two was confirmed.

on september 14, the yanfeng branch of the hengyang public security bureau held a family reunion ceremony. after 22 years, yang senlin reunited with his mother tang meilin, brother yang ligui, sister yang zengmin and cousin yao shuilin. they hugged each other tightly, and yang senlin kept wiping away tears for his sister, mother and brother.

"our family hates holidays, but things are different now."

for 22 years, yang senlin's family has never given up the search and has filed four reports with the public security authorities. however, due to economic constraints, they have not conducted a large-scale search. "my mother is deaf-mute, and there are two children at home. my father is the only laborer, so he is really unable to do anything," said his brother yang ligui.

"when there is something delicious, he won't eat it himself and will leave it for me." in the memory of her younger sister yang zeng'an, her second brother yang senlin doted on her very much. she also didn't expect that the black mole on her forehead that she had removed a few years ago would become the key for her second brother to find her.

"i was very excited when i learned that my second brother was found. i didn't sleep all night last night." yang zengmei said that she always believed that she would find her second brother, and believed that the diligent second brother in her memory would be able to survive out there.

"we hate festivals the most. how can we have a family reunion without one person? but now everything is fine." yang zengmei "selfishly" hopes to bring her second brother home to celebrate the mid-autumn festival and reunite the family. but she also has a concern, that is, she is worried that her second brother will resent his father and will not want to go back.

yang zengmin used sign language to ask yang senlin if he could go home with them to celebrate the mid-autumn festival. yang senlin replied: "i am sensible now. i don't hate my father. instead, i am worried about him. i really want to go home with them to visit him."

a staff member of hengyang social welfare institute told reporters that the name yang senlin was given to him by the welfare institute. because he was in hengyang, his surname was set as "yang". unexpectedly, his original surname was "yang", which was also a coincidence.
