The wife of Chinese ride-sharing driver Wang Mingqing weeps as she reunites with her missing daughter Kang Ying after 24 years' search in Chengdu city, southwest China's Sichuan province, 3 April 2018.

A couple have reunited with their missing daughter on Tuesday (3 April 2018) following a 24-year long search. Xinhua News Agency reports that Wang Mingqing's 3-year-old daughter disappeared near the family's fruit stand in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, on January 8, 1994, while Wang and his wife were busy at dealing with customers. To aid in their continuing search, in 2014, Wang became a driver for a ride-sharing company in Chengdu, with the hope of branching out his search. Wang would tell his story to his passengers, handing out cards with his daughter's information, hoping to get the message out. The story eventually went national in 2017. Lin Yuhui, a forensic artist in Shandong province, created two sketches of Wang Mingqing's missing daughter in 2017 after he heard of Wang's story. A girl living in the northeastern province of Jilin eventually made contact with Wang Mingqing, after noting the sketches "surprisingly" resembled her. A DNA test on 1 April 2018, confirmed that she is Wang's daughter.

SHIJIAZHUANG, CHINA - APRIL 09: (CHINA OUT) A Chinese Catholic deacon holds a bible at the Palm Sunday Mass during the Easter Holy Week at an "underground" or "unofficial" church on April 9, 2017 near Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China. China, an officially atheist country, places a number of restrictions on Christians, allowing legal practice of the faith only at state-approved churches. The policy has driven an increasing number of Christians and Christian converts 'underground' to secret congregations in private homes and other venues. While the size of the religious community is difficult to measure, studies estimate more than 80 million Christians inside China; some studies support the possibility it could become the most Christian nation in the world in the coming years. Officially there have been no relations between China and the Vatican since the country's modern founding in 1949 though in recent years there have been signs of warming relations between Chinese president Xi Jinping and Pope Francis that could possibly allow greater religious freedom in the future. At present, the split means approved Chinese Christians worship within a state-sanctioned Church known as the Patriotic Association which regards the Communist Party as its leader, not the Pope in Rome.
