His new parents did not treat him well and often subjected him to beatings, additionally telling him that he was adopted when he was five, before sending him to another family when he reached 11 years old.
However, Yu left and quickly became a nomad. After turning 19, he traveled toShanghaiandBeijingfor work before ultimately settling down in China’s capital as a delivery driver.
Yu never thought the story his adopted parents told him was entirely true and actively searched for the reality of his past
His parents had been reluctant to give details concerning hisadoption, or the supposed orphanage they said he grew up in. As a result, Yu decided to take action himself.
According toNewsweek, he went to Shanghai’s Puxing Road Police Station on May 11, without telling his family. His DNA was collected and put into the missing persons database, and after just 10 days, a match was discovered.
Thousands of miles away, in Dazhou, his biological parents—who had spent decades trying to find their son—resubmitted their samples as well.
Within 24 hours of the Tonchuan Public Security Bureau finding a conclusive match, Yu was on a train to reunite with his family.
Opening up to the Chinese newspaper Dahe Daily, he said he’d never stopped looking for his real parents, and when authorities informed him of the match, he mentioned that he was excited to “have a good nap” on his mother’s lap.
Yu’s story gained much attention, especially from those on social media

They encouraged him to do e-commerce live streaming in an effort to support his birth parents—who were divorced—as well as his two younger brothers.
With the help of his mother and father’s persuasion, Yu agreed to run the business with them and give hissiblings60% of the total earnings, since they were both in debt.
The streaming practice turned out to be a great success, racking up 470,000 yuan ($66,000 USD) in total. However, problems quickly arose after Yu complained that he was not receiving enough money, despite giving his brothers the promised amount.
