A woman from eastern China has been reunited with her mother after 30 years apart after she spotted “another version” of herself in a video.

According to the mainland media outlet Chao News, the 32-year-old daughter, surnamed Yan, works at a shoe factory in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province.

She recently came across a woman live-streaming on a short video-sharing platform who looked strikingly like her.

The 52-year-old woman, Xu, known online by the name “Searching for my Second Daughter”, is from Jiangxi province in southeastern China.

Since 2022, Xu has used social media to search for her lost daughter and to help others looking for their biological parents.
