After 28 years, Hong Yangli, a Chinese woman adopted by a Dutch couple, has reunited with her biological parents. Hong was abandoned as a newborn in a toilet in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, China. Her grandfather, who favored boys, took her from her mother, Yang Xiaoying, under the guise of caring for her. Instead, he abandoned the infant in another village. Yang Xiaoying never forgave her father-in-law for his actions and his refusal to disclose her daughter's location. The reunion occurred after Hong, now 28, sought out her biological family.
