On the morning of March 23, Li Lin arrived at the Nanchang Railway Public Security Department in Jiangxi to meet and recognize her younger brother Li Xin, marking their first reunion after 33 years apart. In 1993, following family hardships in Xiantao, Hubei, their mother passed away from illness, and their father, unable to cope with the blow, left home. The young Li Lin and Li Xin were left orphaned, struggling to survive by collecting scrap materials. In 1994, while seeking shelter from rain, the siblings accidentally boarded a bus to Jingshan, Hubei. There, Li Xin, crying from hunger, was lured away by an elderly stranger under the pretext of buying bread, leading to their long separation.
