 A Chinese couple have been reunited with their daughter who went missing 24 years ago. Wang Mingqing and his wife Liu Chengying briefly took their eyes off their daughter Qifeng, who wandered off while they were busy running their fruit stall in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, in January 1994. He became a driver for Didi Chuxing, a China's Uber equivalent, in the hopes he would one day pick up someone who recognized his daughter, passing out cards with his daughter's information and photo to passengers. He turned his back momentarily to make change for a customer, only to find his daughter - then named Wang Qifeng - had disappeared. The girl’s father told the West China Daily: “It was only five minutes and then my daughter was gone.”

 Mr Wang and his wife spent years searching for her in the city and surrounding areas, taking out advertisements in newspapers and setting up online appeals. In 2015, Mr Wang decided to broaden the search by signing up as a driver with ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing. The woman had been told she was adopted as a child and grew up under the name Kang Ying in a town only 20 kilometres (12 miles) away from her birth parents. Her adoptive family had told her that she was found on the side of a road in Chengdu as a child, Shanghaiist said. Over the past three years Wang had been contacted by scores of young women who suspected they might be his daughter, but DNA tests ruled this out.
– A small scar on the forehead. A habit of feeling nauseous when she cried. These are traits that a woman named Kang Ying and a child named Qifeng shared—helping to prove the two are one and the same. The BBC reports on the 24-year search for Qifeng, who disappeared from her parents' roadside fruit stand in Chengdu city in January 1994; she was just 3. Wang Mingqing and wife Liu Dengying spent more than two decades searching for their girl, through newspaper ads and online posts. They remained in Chengdu, hoping it would increase the chances that Qifeng would find them, and in 2015, Wang began driving for the Uber-like Didi Chuxing and spreading the word. His car contained information about his search, passengers were given information about his daughter, and the South China Morning Post reports he asked riders to post about his search on social media. Then, a break, by way of a police sketch artist. The artist heard about the search and offered to create an age progression drawing showing what an adult Qifeng might look like—and, in a province far to the north, Kang Ying saw it and thought it looked a whole lot like her. She reached out to Yang in mid-March, per Global News, and a DNA test was arranged for; it proved she was Qifeng, and the family was reunited on Tuesday. The Morning Post reports Kang grew up 12 miles from Chengdu, with parents who told her they had adopted her. (This missing 9-year-old was found thanks to a reality TV show.)
