China's Lost and Found Daughters


A generation of children given away under China's controversial one-child policy search for their biological parents.


Li Yongguo, a civil servant in eastern China, is on a mission to reunite families forced apart by China's one-child policy. 

He holds events for parents and children separated after the mass population control scheme began in the late 1970s, collecting DNA samples to match them. 

Cai Fengxia is desperate to meet the parents who gave her away to a foster home in 1979. After searching for 12 years, she turns to Li Yongguo in a final attempt to find them.
