 In 1963 a Chinese army surveyor crossed into India and was captured, weeks after a war between the countries. But Liu said he had no intention to return to China because he no longer has family there”, the embassy told China Daily. The BBC had reported how Wang Qi, an army surveyor who says he accidentally crossed into India in 1963, had not been given the necessary documents to leave the country. “Left home young and return old, the accent has not been changed but the hair has been gray. A Chinese man who was trapped in India for more than 50 years has finally been reunited with his family. Mr Wang says he was "tasked with building roads for the Chinese army" and was captured when he "strayed erroneously" inside India's territory in January 1963. "I had gone out of my camp for a stroll but lost my way. I was tired and hungry. I saw a Red Cross vehicle and asked them to help me. They handed me over to the Indian army," he said.

 Indian officials said Mr Wang "intruded into India" and gave "false background and the circumstances" about his whereabouts to the authorities. He spent the next seven years in a number of different jails before a court ordered his release in 1969. He was moved from one jail to another for nearly seven years when he was finally released in 1969, police escorted him to the remote village of Tirodi in Madhya Pradesh and told him to start a life there. He has not been allowed to leave the country ever since. Mr Wang had been given a document by the Indian Foreign Ministry stating that he was cleared to leave. “In 2013, the Embassy issued a 10-year Chinese passport to him and provided living allowance for him every year since then. India got both bricks and bouquet. Later, in his home city of Xianyang, crowds met him with banners reading "Welcome home, soldier, it's been a rough journey". Neighbours said they lived in "utter poverty". “Yan Xiaoce, a counselor at the Chinese embassy in India, visited Wang’s village on the same day,” the report said. Chinese officials took him and his family shopping in a Delhi mall before they boarded the flight. It’s also reasonable that do not allow him to come back.
– In 1963, a 23-year-old surveyor for the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army accidentally crossed the border into India. He remained stuck there for 54 years, making it back to his homeland only last week, reports the BBC. The strange tale of Wang Qi starts with a nighttime stroll away from camp. He told the BBC in a previous interview that he got lost and was "tired and hungry." He found a Red Cross vehicle and asked for help, only to be turned over to the Indian army. After nearly seven years in various jails, authorities relocated Wang to a remote village, the Hindustan Times reports. He was not allowed to return to China, however, but nor was he given Indian citizenship. He lived in a kind of limbo. "I cried in the night," Wang says of those first years in India. "I missed my mother." He eventually married, worked at a flour mill, and had children and grandchildren, but he never stopped hoping to return home. A spokesperson for the Chinese government blames Indian bureaucracy for preventing Wang's return over the past half-century. But after being visited by a delegation from the Chinese embassy in recent weeks, visas were procured for Wang and his relatives. His wife was too sick to travel, but Wang arrived in Beijing on Friday with his adult children, where they were met by his surviving relatives. This is only a visit, however. "My family is (in India)," he says. "Where would I go?" (For this soldier, WWII didn't end until 1974.)
