A Chinese man kidnapped at the age of 5 has found his way home 23 years later with the help of the internet.
Luo Gang was abducted while on his way to kindergarten and taken 100 miles away from his hometown. He was raised by adoptive parents in the Fujian province while his biological parents continuously searched for their missing son.
He longed to go back home and find his parents. He said, "Every day before I went to bed, I forced myself to relive the life spent in my old home so I wouldn't forget," Asia One News reports.
According to the South China Morning reports, the only memory he had of his old home, were two bridges. From his own memory, he posted a map of what he could remember of his hometown on a Chinese website that helps find missing children.
A volunteer from the website wrote back to Gang and said a couple lost a child 23 years ago near his hometown. He found pictures of the Sichuan town that looked familiar to him.
It wasn't until he used Google Maps where he zoomed in on an area near his hometown and noticed the bridges. His real name, Huang Jun soon emerged as he reunited with his biological parents after the discovery, UK's Telegraph reports.
It is unclear if the adoptive parents will be pressed with charges.
