A married father who was kidnapped when he was just four years old by a child-trafficking gang was reunited with his family after 33 years when he drew a map of his original home from memory.

Li Jingwei, 37, grew up in Henan, north-central China, after he was taken but said he had ‘countless nights of yearning’ and was ‘homesick since I was little’.

When he learnt about other abducted children that were reunited with relatives, such as Guo Xinzhen, Mr Jingwei shared a map he had drawn of his home village.

A video uploaded on social media shows the man collapsing in front of his mother after seeing her for the first time after 33 years.
