Using only a childhood photograph, a woman in central China found her younger brother who had been lured away with a piece of bread more than three decades ago.
Li Lin, 44, from Xiantao in Hubei province, was separated from her brother, Li Xin, in childhood after tragedy tore their family apart, Daxiang News reported.
Their mother died of cancer, while their father reportedly suffered a mental collapse, left home and never returned.

Orphaned at the ages of 11 and seven, the siblings survived by scavenging for scraps.

One day, while sheltering from the rain in the back of a truck, they fell asleep and were unwittingly carried to another city.
Lost and hungry, they wandered the streets until an elderly woman approached and offered to buy Xin some bread.
