71-year-old He Yinglan, who was abducted 35 years ago, has finally come back to her hometown in Xinmiao township, Fuling district of southwest China's Chongqing.

He's family has never seen her after she left her home to buy vegetables in February in 1981. At that time, He was already married and had children.

After making inquiries about the whereabouts of He, her family got to know that He was cheated by a woman from He's village who promised to help her find a job in the cities. He with brain disorders would believe what other people tell her.

He's family did not report to the police and hoped that she could come back on her own. But over time, her family began to assume that He had passed away. 

As a matter of fact, He went to central China's He'nan province where she got married with Yan Guangyi and gave birth to a son and a daughter called Yan Jintian. Yan Guangyi bought He as his bride with 700 yuan.

Yan Jintian knows that her mother always wants to go back to her hometown to see her children who were born before she was abducted. After a family discussion, the whole family decided to make a trip to Chongqing to help He meet with her children.

"After arriving in Chongqing, we found it difficult to locate the hometown of my mother,"said Yan Jintian. He only remembers the name of the place where the village fair was held and the name of her son. Unfortunately, Yan Jintian did not find the name of the place on the map of Chongqing.

At last, Yan asked her brother to seek help from a police station in Yubei district in Chongqing. With the assistance from a police officer, He returned to her home in Chongqing.
