According to Korean media reports on August 29, Song Jiyong, the prototype of the Korean version of the movie "Old Orphan", died in a car accident. Actor Kim Woo Bin went to the mourning hall to send flowers to pay homage.
It is reported that the 71-year-old Song Jiyong searched for his missing daughter for 25 years before his death. He unfortunately died in a car accident on August 26 and was not able to reunite with his beloved daughter. Korean actor Kim Woo Bin was very sad and went to Song Jiyong's mourning hall to pay homage. The agency responded that Kim Woo Bin often saw banners on the road where the deceased was looking for his beloved daughter, and felt sorry for him, so he specially sent a wreath.
The movie "Lost Orphan" is based on the story of Guo Gangtang, a man from Shandong. His son was taken away by traffickers when he was 2 years old. Guo Gangtang rode a motorcycle to search for his son for 24 years and finally found him. The film starred Andy Lau and made countless viewers cry.
However, the prototype of the Korean version of "Orphans" is even more tragic. 71-year-old Song Jiyong originally had a happy family. His second daughter Song Hye Hee suddenly disappeared at 10 pm on February 13, 1999. Song Hye Hee was only 17 years old at the time. A high school student took the bus home as usual before he disappeared. After getting off the bus, he disappeared without a trace. He seemed to have disappeared from the world and has not been heard from since.
Song Jiyong quit his job in order to find his beloved daughter, and drove a truck through the streets of South Korea. He posted missing person notices and banners along the road, hoping to find his beloved daughter in his lifetime. In 26 years, he printed and distributed more than 2 million leaflets and banners. As many as 4,000 photos were taken. During this period, he accidentally fell from a ladder and seriously injured his waist.
Unfortunately, Song Jiyong's efforts failed to find his daughter, but instead made the originally fragmented family even more miserable. Most of his savings during his lifetime were used to find his beloved daughter, and in the end he could only accept external assistance to survive. His wife also She suffered from depression due to excessive sadness, and relied on alcohol to numb herself all day long, and finally committed suicide in 2006.
After his wife committed suicide, Song Jiyong still did not give up. He searched alone for another 18 years, but unfortunately there was still no news.
Song Jiyong has made a living by recycling waste in recent years. On August 26, he drove a truck to collect waste and unfortunately suffered a serious car accident. Although he was sent to the hospital as soon as possible, he could not save his life.
He once said during his lifetime that if he could not find his daughter, he would die in peace, and he would continue to look for her even if she became a ghost.
Song Jiyong's death is regrettable. A large number of Korean citizens spontaneously went to the mourning hall to pay homage. Artists such as Kim Woo Bin also sent wreaths, wishing there would be no cripples in the world and the deceased rest in peace.
