These Chinese women are on a mission to find their real parents because they don’t know who their real parents are. It is because of Communist party “One Child Policy” which was implemented in 1970’s.
As government allowed only one child to control the population, everyone preferred to have a male child who would support the family after growing up. In cities people used ultrasound technology to know the gender which resulted in millions of abortions.
In villages and towns where this technology was not available people left their daughters or handed over it to families who didn’t have any child.
A civil servant in China ‘Li Yongguo’ is now trying to make it possible for these women to meet their biological parents who gave birth to them. He collects DNA samples and when it matches the record he arranges their meeting.
Many people are keen to meet their real parents while other don’t want to meet those who abandoned and left them.
