A PREGNANT vagrant woman finally reunited with her family, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported Monday.

Fu Honglin met with her younger brother, who flew to Shenzhen from Chongqing, on Saturday. It was their first meeting since the woman went missing from their hometown five years ago.

However, Fu refused to go home with her brother.

According to the brother, Fu started working at a factory in Guangdong when she was 15 years old. She often sent money back home to support her family over the first few years, but since 2003, the family seldom heard from Fu. When she would call home it was only to say that she had no money for food.

“She refused to let me know what happened to her but just asked me for money,” the brother recalled. “In 2011, a man called and said that my sister was pregnant. He asked us to bring her home,” said the brother, who then brought Fu home in Chongqing from Shenzhen.

After searching in vain for the child’s father, they had no choice but to let Fu abort the pregnancy. Before long, Fu returned to Shenzhen and hadn’t contacted her family ever since.

He said he had heard some rumors that she had stepped onto the wrong path with some bad people and her mind was mixed up. The brother plans to take Fu home after her physical condition and mental state are stable in Shenzhen. (Lei Kaibin, Han Ximin)
