Trafficked Chinese boy reunited with family after 24 years apart

On Tuesday, Sun was finally reacquainted with his aging father, Sun Youhong, and a younger sister he had never met. The moment was captured in a moving series of photographs.

“You’re a man, don’t cry,” said the elder Sun as he embraced his long lost son, according to a report released state news agency Xinhua.

A police officer in the Sichuan provincial capital Chengdu confirmed to CNN that the family had been reunited there this week but declined to give further details.

He plans to stay with his father for a while, adding that he would visit his mother’s grave.
