Before that, the medical organisation took care of him for about a year before the young man revealed that he knows where he came from.

His treatment is free

Before releasing the son to his emotional mother, South-Westshire Health Trust said she does not need to pay anything for the care. The head of the NGO only said they hope the woman can continue attending to his medical needs.

When the son walked in, the mother burst into tears as she kept calling his name, asking the boy if he still knows her.

Man reunited with mother

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a man, Li Jingwei, who was kidnapped and sold when he was four years old in 1989 saw his family again more than 30 years later.

Aljazeera revealed that the Chinese man was sold to a family in Henan province. While speaking with the media, Jingwei said he could not remember anything, including the names of his parents and where he came from.

The man said that when he was abducted, he only remembered what his parents looked like and the landscape that leads to his home.
