When the child was found, the blue autumn clothes and white trousers originally worn on him became a pink skirt—the suspect changed him into a girl costume in order to hide his eyes.

"Reunion" went online, Lianjia in Hui County, Henan experienced thrilling 17 hours.

A 3-year-old boy Liancheng and his grandfather Lianji were playing downstairs in the community. A round-faced, slightly fat middle-aged woman came to chat. 20 minutes later, Lianji wanted to go to the basement to sort things out. The middle-aged woman said to him, "You Busy, I'll play with the kids for a while."

waited for Lian Ji to appear again, and Lian Cheng and the middle-aged woman were gone. Lian Ji vaguely remembered that he once heard his grandson yell: "You want to buy sugar." The dangerous signal warned him at that moment. After

was abducted, almost all relatives in the family were sent out to look for them. They went to the station, entered the mall, inquired with people, and soon called the police.

In the surveillance video called by the police, Wu Ye, Liancheng's mother, clearly saw her son following the middle-aged woman, turning her head to coax him from time to time, and her son stepped out of the surveillance video.

Wu Ye began to cry non-stop, feeling that fate was too mean to him.

She also has an 11-year-old daughter who suffers from immune thrombocytic purpura. On the day his son was abducted, his daughter was hospitalized in the hospital. With great grief and fear, Wu Ye accompanied her daughter in the hospital while waiting for news.

Wu Ye didn't dare to guess where his son was going or whether he would be in danger. The specific imagination was scary. Among the chaotic thoughts, only one idea is certain-if Liancheng can't find it back, the family will be over.

On May 11, 2017, Wu Ye (pseudonym) went to the kindergarten to pick up Liancheng (pseudonym)

who was lost and recovered

Liancheng was abducted to Xinxiang City. Around 1 pm, the Xinxiang City Public Security Bureau released information about Liancheng's loss on the "Reunion" system.

Within one hour, the boy’s age, appearance, and location were posted to more than 10 apps. People kept calling the Public Security Bureau to provide clues. The key clue of

came from a taxi driver. That afternoon, he carried two passengers-a middle-aged woman and a little boy sitting in the passenger seat. As soon as he got in the car, the boy kept crying, and the woman's expression was a little weird. He pestered the steering wheel and quietly took a picture of the woman's profile with his phone.

According to this clue, the police learned that the woman took the boy to the old station in Hui County. Watching the video from the old station, she found that she was taking her child in a car bound for Xinxiang City.

At around 8 o'clock at night, at the suspect's foothold, the police rescued the abducted Liancheng.

Liancheng returned to Wu Ye's arms, and it was past 3 o'clock in the morning the next day. Together with her husband and family, Wu Ye waited anxiously at the gas station at the junction of Hui County and Xinxiang. Seventeen hours after

disappeared, her son rushed towards her with a bag of biscuits in his hand. The blue autumn clothes and white pants originally worn on him turned into a pink skirt—the suspect changed him into a girl costume in order to cover his eyes.

Ordinary people can never experience the pain of losing a child. Tang Qingmei, director of the Anti-trafficking Office of the Public Security Department of Anhui Province, has been involved in anti-trafficking work for more than ten years. She agrees with one sentence: "Trafficking is a crime beyond murder." Of mental disorders, and some wives are scattered and depressed. Guo Gangtang, the prototype of Lei Zekuan's character in the

movie "Lonely", told Tang Qingmei that he had never been at home for the Spring Festival, and he was on the way to find a son. Guo Gangtang does not know where his son will spend the New Year, whether he has enough food and clothes. He had to be on the road, as if only then could he be worthy of a kidnapped child. The family of

abducted children faces the unknown. Time will not eliminate the pain, it will only magnify the unknown infinitely, hope and disappointment are repeatedly intertwined, and confidence continues to ignite and shatter. The panic of

left Wu Ye with lingering fears until now. A year later, when retelling the lost scene of his son Liancheng, Wu Ye's eyes were red as soon as he reached his lips. If the "noisy" application

was not the message from the "Reunion" system, the process of retrieving the child might be more tortuous.

Trafficking is a crime without a scene, and it is impossible to obtain fingerprints and other routinesThe clues and information come from the description of the victim's family or witnesses, through the middleman, and then find the buyer-every link in this may be suddenly broken, making the detection impossible to continue.

"This is too late, so later we are also studying how to use a high-tech information technology to quickly release information." Chen Shiqu, the current deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that the "Reunion" system was born in this way. A longer name-"The Ministry of Public Security's emergency release platform for missing children".

In mid-November 2015, the Anti-trafficking Office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security proposed the concept of building this platform and communicated with the Security Department of Alibaba Group.

In fact, the communication between the Ministry of Public Security and Ali was initially not smooth. Liu Zhenfei, the chief risk officer of Ali and the person in charge of the "Reunion" charity project, mentioned that for Ali, it is not too technically difficult to establish the "Reunion" system. The real difficulty lies in figuring out what the requirements of the "Reunion" project are.

For example, once a child is abducted or lost, the procedures for the police to upload relevant information and the system framework and other program settings, how to turn into specific products, there are differences in understanding between the two parties.

The photo format, the number of name bytes, and age limits of missing children must be clarified. In order to make the program page convenient for the police to implement the abduction, Alibaba technical staff and the police of the Ministry of Public Security repeatedly run-in discussions. There are two parties involved in

. One is thinking about how to beat abduction, and the other is thinking about how to write code. The final form of the product is the result of arguing and running in.

Ali’s public welfare projects are not included in the KPI assessment and do not take up working time. Before the system is released, members of the volunteer team have to visit the Ministry of Public Security every weekend. The

police officers are straightforward, and the technicians also have their own opinions. “When you pinch each other at first, you will know what this thing should look like when you quarrel,” Liu Zhenfei said.

On the evening of May 13, 2016, news of the loss of a Yi girl named "Jis Mo Chi Zuo" was posted on the "Reunion" system. Meng Qingtian, deputy director of the Anti-trafficking Office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, also received news. This "strange" name once made her mistaken for another online test, but she quickly confirmed that the news was true.

On this day, the two-year-old Ji Si Mo Chi Zuo followed his parents from Sichuan and passed the Hengshui Railway Station in Hebei Province. After a long journey, the parents of Jishuizuo fell asleep in the car because they were too tired. When they woke up, their daughter was gone.

Mobile phone users 100 kilometers near Hengshui Railway Station quickly received emergency pushes from "Reunion" through various APP clients. Clues came in torrents. On May 15, the girl was rescued by the police in Zhengzhou, Henan. On the day of

, "Reunion" was officially launched, and Jack Ma posted a Weibo: "It is not technology that changes the world, but the dream and responsibility behind technology. Internet abduction, Alibaba is proud of having such colleagues."

race against time

"Reunion" has been launched, and 1,317 pieces of missing child information have been released and 1,274 people have been recovered, with a recovery rate of 96.74%. Among the 1,274 people, 750 people ran away from home and 192 people lost their way. Among them, 75 children drowned and 29 were killed.

But no matter what kind of child loss incident, time is just as pressing. The quicker you find the child, the less likely the child is in danger.

Tang Qingmei once felt the powerlessness due to the missed time. A few years ago, a pair of twin boys disappeared and they were not found overnight. The next day, Tang Qingmei drove to the missing place. On the way, she heard that the child drowned in a small ditch 50 meters away from the door. When

arrived at the scene, the police were salvaging the child. The child’s small face and butt were round, just like the scene in the movie "Titanic"-"The ship is sinking, and the child is slowly falling into the bottom of the sea. Thin, round, such a cute child, after he caught it, he put it on the small lawn next to it." Tang Qingmei was sad.

Besides the system, after retrieving a kid who has been abducted for many years, the reunion of relatives is not easy.

Tang Qingmei once helped a couple surnamed Zheng in Suzhou, Anhui, find their abducted daughter Zheng Fang. When they were found, they had lived on a small island in Zhoushan, Zhejiang for 14 years.

that year, Zheng Fang 16 years old, will refer to the senior high school entrance examination. For the past 14 years, her adoptive father and grandma have regarded her as the jewel in the palm of her hand.

Worried that forcibly taking the child away would cause her to collapse, Tang Qingmei arranged for both parties to have a meal at the child's adoptive father's house. Facing the strange biological parents, Zheng Fang always grasped the hand of "grandma" firmly. The biological mother Zhang Yi bought Zheng Fang a big red ski shirt. "Grandma" threw the clothes back and said, "Our family My child doesn’t wear other people’s clothes." Zheng Fang refused to call Zhang Yi "Mom" and rushed out of the room, muttering: "Why is this family like this? If you force me, I will jump into the sea."

Tang Qingmei I understand her very well. The girl grew up in the South, and she was beautiful and foreign. She was very disgusted with the posture of her biological mother from the countryside and persuading her to return to Anhui.

She also understands Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi cannot accept that his daughter does not recognize herself. When Tang Qingmei persuaded her to go back to Anhui first, Zhang Yi sat downstairs at Zheng Fang's adoptive father's house and burst into tears: "I won't go anymore. I will rent a room opposite here, and watch her right here."

Tang Qingmei is not easy to persuade Zhang Yi to leave. When they left Zhoushan the next day, Zheng Fang did not appear. Later, after three full years of communication, Zheng Fang decided to return to Anhui to see his biological parents.

During these three years, Tang Qingmei told Zheng Fang's parents the difficult process of finding her over the years. Zheng Fang asked her: "My grandma told me that I was sold by their family?"

Tang Qingmei told her that this was not the case. One summer when Zheng Fang was two and a half years old, Zhang Yi and her husband worked a day of farm work at around 8 o'clock in the evening. They were very tired, so they made a bed at the door of the house. The father hugged his son and Zhang Yi hugged his daughter to sleep. In the middle of the night, the child in the arms of the mother was stolen.

Many years later, Tang Qingmei led the police to track down and found the trafficker of the year. The trafficker was a villager from a neighboring village who wanted to steal the child and sell it for money. When he took the child that night, he didn't even know whether the child in his arms was a male or a female. He rushed all the way to Nanjing and sold the girl to the sister of Zheng Fang's adoptive father.

"Do you know how much money was sold?" Tang Qingmei asked herself, "60 yuan, it is this 60 yuan that caused the separation of the family's flesh and blood."

does not need to "reunion" is the best reunion

each The families of kidnapped children have a sad story.

Zhang Zhu found his biological parents in Guizhou Zhijin only after 24 years. In the past 24 years, his mother remarried Sichuan because of a quarrel with her husband. Father Zhang Yin looks for Zhang Zhu outside all year round. The remaining three children in the family were left unattended. One of the boys had a high fever when he was 18 years old. He died due to lack of timely treatment.

Zhang Yin is a local herbalist. On the way to find a son, he prescribes medicine to earn money on the road. Out of desperation, Zhang Yin started taking drugs. He went to prison three times before giving up drugs.

Once, he heard from inmates in the prison that someone had abducted a boy to Yunnan. Based on such clues, after he was released from prison, he immediately went to Yunnan to find Zhang Zhu's whereabouts. Zhang Zhu, who was abducted by

, had a bad day. When he was sent to a family in Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, Zhang Zhu was almost dying. He vaguely remembered that he had a nickname called "Xiaolang", and found that he preferred to eat rice instead of the noodles that Henan people love. Like grasping the last straw, he tried to grasp this memory.

Zhang Zhu's adoptive parents forbid others to call Zhang Zhu "Xiaolang". But Zhang Zhu has been a shadow of his own life experience since he was a child, because someone in the village always said to him: "You were picked up by someone else, and your parents don't want you." Zhang Zhu has also been kidnapped. He was kidnapped for 6 days and endured hunger and beatings. In the end, his adoptive parents made up the 50 yuan required by the kidnappers before he was able to escape.

In 2012, Zhang Zhu went to Guangdong to study hairdressing and learned about the "Baby Go Home" website for the first time. He filled in his information and soon received a call from the Yuanyang County Public Security Bureau, Xinxiang, Henan, asking him to go back to take blood samples.

In 2016, Zhang Yin persuaded his ex-wife who married in Sichuan to return to Zhijin to collect blood samples and store them. Soon, through the comparison of blood samples, the information of the two parties was successfully matched.

Knowing that he could see his son, Zhang Yin was so excited that he stayed up all night. Early the next morning, he was wandering in the corridor of the hotel, seeing a young man coming from a distance, very excited. Zhang Yin recognized Zhang Zhu at a glance, and immediately rushed up: "Are you Xiaolang?" Both sides cried with each other in their hands. Tang Qingmei and Meng Qingtian have heard similar stories about

too much. Meng Qingtian started his anti-trafficking work in 2007. In her opinion, the past 10 yearsYears are the golden decade of anti-trafficking work.

Meng Qingtian, deputy director of the Anti-abduction Office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security

, she likes this job, because "reunion with relatives is a particularly good thing." In the past 10 years, she has discovered that the power of ordinary people, the changes in police thinking, and the reform of mechanisms have never been emphasized in many places until now everyone has a sense of anti-trafficking. Meng Qingtian's life has also changed a bit, she is about to welcome her own child.

May 15 is the first anniversary of the launch of "Reunion", and version 3.0 will be released soon. Liu Zhenfei's expectation is that this time, more apps can participate, and face recognition functions will be added at the same time. In addition, it is best to be able to access the source data of surveillance cameras in the city.

, of course, is different from the projects Liu Zhenfei was responsible for in the past. Normal applications hope that the more traffic and frequency of use, the better. The ultimate appeal of "Reunion" is that when we no longer need it one day, it is the best outcome of "Reunion".
