Family reunion

A SENIOR couple reunited with their missing son before the Spring Festival in Songgang Subdistrict thanks to the help of a community grid worker. Wang Junjian received a request from a senior female resident to help find her nephew who had been missing for over five years. The senior, surnamed Li, told Wang that her nephew, identified as Chen, came to Shenzhen to work five years ago. After briefly staying with Li, Chen moved out and had not contacted her ever since. Li went to Wang with the only information she had received from Chen’s parents: Chen had rented an apartment in Songgang. Wang located Chen’s whereabouts in the subdistrict’s home rental system. Chen told Li and his parents that he felt too ashamed to go home as he hadn’t earned as much money as he had vowed to.
