Relief station helps vagrant reunite with his family
    2018-05-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WITH the help of the city’s relief management station, a man who had lost touch with his family for 10 years finally reunited with his parents at Harbin Railway Station in Heilongjiang Province, the Shenzhen Evening News reported yesterday.

The man, named Hu Haitao, was born in 1978 in Harbin. He has mild mental retardation. In 2008, his father took him to Changchun to treat his illness, but he was lost at the railway station and had been leading a vagrant life ever since.

In November 2014, Hu was received by Shenzhen Relief Management Station. As Hu was unable to say where his hometown was, he was later sent to a shelter in Dapeng New Area.

After he arrived at the shelter, a social worker with the shelter named Peng Shixiong began collecting information from conversations with him that would help find his family.

In 2017, the relief station stepped up its efforts by contacting a welfare organization and a local reporter and TV station in Harbin. As Hu can’t write, the social workers organized video calls between him and the local volunteers.

Hu’s family was found not long after the TV program was broadcasted. Staffers from the relief station escorted Hu all the way from Shenzhen to Harbin.

His parents burst into tears at the moment they saw Hu at the station. “In the past decade, we have traveled to many places trying to find our son. Now we are finally reunited,” said Hu’s father.

The relief station has helped 19 people reunite with their families so far this year, according to the report. It helped 69 people in 2017. At present, the shelter in Dapeng houses more than 200 needy people, most of whom are physically disabled.
