Chinese media outlets have reported the (quite incredible) story of a 28-year-old man who found his way home more than two decades after being abducted. At the age of five, while on his way his kindergarten in Guangan City, Sichuan Province, Luo Gang (not his birth-name) was abducted and taken 1,500 kilometers from home to Sanming, Fujian province. There, he received a new set of parents and a new name, and later went on to graduate school, finish military service, and by all accounts, live a relatively normal life for the next 23 years. But he never forgot where he came from. According to Luo, since the day of his capture, every night before bed he would remind himself of what his hometown of origin looked like.
