　　On June 8, 57-year-old He Xiuqing hugged his son who had been abducted for 31 years and cried with joy at the "Reunion We Are in Action" Suining Branch in Sichuan.

　　Touching reunion scenes also appeared in Jinan, Shandong, Xuzhou, Jiangsu and Pingdingshan, Henan. Organized by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, there are 11 groups of families holding the wedding ceremony. "Since the’ Reunion’ campaign was launched, more than 700 events have been organized in various places. We want to let the masses witness the joy of reuniting with lost relatives through such activities, and at the same time give confidence and encouragement to parents and children who are still struggling to find relatives. " Tong Bishan, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said. According to reports, up to now, public security organs across the country have recovered 2,066 missing and abducted children, detected 116 cases of child abduction and arrested 278 suspects.

　　Use scientific and technological means to organize special investigation and collaborative verification.

　　"We have never given up what the people are eagerly looking forward to." The relevant person in charge of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that since January this year, the Ministry of Public Security has launched a "reunion" campaign as one of the important practices of "I do practical things for the masses", insisting on starting from the issues that people are most concerned about, and trying to help the masses solve the problem of "urgent difficulties and worries" with all their hearts and feelings.

　　"Due to the limited technical level and the difficulty in obtaining evidence, the accumulated case of child trafficking was not detected in time." Liu Jingjie, director of the Anti-trafficking Office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that in recent years, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of handling cases, public security organs have the ability and energy to fully detect such accumulated cases.

　　According to reports, in the "reunion" operation, local public security organs carefully sorted out the case files, evidence clues and suspects at large, organized special investigations on major cases, focused on tackling key problems, comprehensively applied new technologies and new means to conduct in-depth research and judgment, and found a breakthrough in the case and arrested suspects.

　　Not long ago, the public security organs in Chaoyang, Liaoning Province successfully detected a child abduction case that was supervised by the Ministry of Public Security during the "reunion" operation. Using new scientific and technological means and investigation measures, the task force successfully arrested three suspects who had absconded for more than 20 years. At the same time, it cooperated with the police in many places through interviews and DNA tests, and recovered 10 abducted children.

　　"In recent years, the cross-regional investigation and cooperation mechanism of public security organs across the country has become increasingly perfect, and close cooperation and collaborative verification have become the norm, providing an important guarantee for the’ reunion’ action." Tong Bishan said.

　　Establish a quick search mechanism for missing children and weave a safety net.

　　"I heard that the public security organs are carrying out the’ reunion’ action. Can you help me find my son and daughter who have been lost for 44 years?" In March this year, the xinyuan county Public Security Bureau of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region received an alarm from Zhang Siye, a resident of the jurisdiction, saying that in February 1977, his two children were lost in Urumqi Railway Station.

　　After receiving the police, Yili Public Security Bureau immediately collected Zhang Siye’s blood sample, and at the same time, started with the relics of his deceased wife, tested the DNA information and entered it into the national abduction DNA system. With the help of many parties, in April this year, after review and inspection, the DNA information of Zhang Siye and his wife was successfully compared. On May 20th, 90-year-old Zhang Siye was finally reunited with his children.

　　"Since the launch of the’ Reunion’ campaign, we have tried to find the blood samples collected many years ago and lost the conditions for testing and comparison. At the same time, we can also extract DNA from their previous daily necessities." Sun Bing, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Public Security Department of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said.

　　In 2009, the Ministry of Public Security established a national abduction DNA database, and continuously collected and entered the DNA and related information of relatives of abducted or missing children. "In the past few years, due to technical limitations, the DNA information obtained by blood collection was less, and the comparison results obtained were too broad to accurately determine the comparison object." Liu Jingjie introduced that after the "Reunion" campaign, we cleaned up the abduction DNA database, re-collected and expanded the number of blood samples, and improved and updated relevant information.

　　"About 50% of the missing abducted children found in the’ Reunion’ operation were successfully compared based on the newly collected DNA data this year." Tong Bishan said.

　　It is understood that in order to promote the joint efforts of various police types to solve the current case and mobilize the masses to jointly find missing children, the public security organs have established a rapid search mechanism for missing children. After receiving the report of missing children, local police will conduct an investigation as soon as possible and release information on the emergency release platform of missing children information of the Ministry of Public Security. By June 15th, this year, the platform had released 4,828 pieces of lost information about children, and 4,730 children were recovered, with a recovery rate of 98%.

　　Mobilize social forces and continue to have zero tolerance for the crime of trafficking.

　　According to reports, at present, China’s DNA testing technology and database construction are at the advanced level in the world. The testing method is stable and reliable, and individual identification is accurate and efficient, making it the most accurate method to find and identify kinship.

　　"We hope to mobilize all social forces and encourage relatives to take the initiative to report to the public security organs and collect blood for free." Liu Jingjie said that in order to facilitate the parents of missing abducted children, suspected abductees and people with unknown origin to collect blood, public security organs across the country have recently announced more than 3,000 addresses and contact numbers of free blood collection points on the basis of previous free blood collection.

　　In the next step, the public security organs will test the collected blood samples in time and continue to carry out technical comparison. At the same time, the public security organs hope that the masses will provide clues about missing and abducted children in time.

　　Tong Bishan said that the public security organs will continue to have zero tolerance for the crime of trafficking, zero slack in finding and rescuing missing abducted children, and let more unfortunate families realize their dream of reunion.
