Firefighter’s father lost his son for 12 days and was found: moon cake in his hand (photo)

  The 68-year-old Pan Puquan suffers from Parkinson’s syndrome and intermittent senile dementia. On September 26th, he came to Beijing alone to visit the fireman’s son without consulting his family, but he disappeared after getting off at Beijing West Railway Station on September 27th. After many searches by the police, family members and netizens, at 12 o’clock on October 8, Pan Puquan was finally found in Daxing District, Beijing, and was safe and sound. Before the end of the long holiday, his wish of "family reunion" was fulfilled.

  When the old man was found, he was safe and sound, and netizens blessed him.

  In autumn, the lowest temperature in Beijing has dropped to single digits, and autumn rain has started. The old man Pan Puquan, whose whereabouts are unknown, is worried about everyone’s hearts.

  On the morning of October 8, 12 days have passed since the disappearance of the old man Pan Puquan. His family just got the clue provided by netizens. On the afternoon of September 27, the old man got on the No.9 bus at Beijing West Railway Station, but he got off at Xiaomachang bus station after only one stop. Whether to transfer or not and his whereabouts thereafter are still uncertain.

  At 12 o’clock noon on the 8th, it was drizzling. At the entrance of Gaomidian Squadron, the special detachment of Beijing Public Security Fire Brigade, the firemen on duty saw an old man passing by. The old man wears a light-colored cowboy cap, a black coat and several moon cakes in a white plastic bag in his hand, which are not like Pan Puquan described in searching for you. However, the old man is about 1.6 meters tall, thin, his left hand is shaking unconsciously, and he is wearing armed police trousers and black leather shoes. These characteristics are all like Pan Puquan. The firemen on duty came forward to identify and found that this is the father of firefighters Pan Zhaoxiang and Pan Zhaohu who everyone is looking for.

  At about 13: 00 on October 8, Weibo, the official of Beijing Public Security Bureau Fire Department, announced that Pan Zhaohu, the father of Beijing fireman, and Pan Zhaoxiang, had been found at noon today! The father and son have been reunited, and the old man is safe and sound, and he is grateful to all walks of life for their enthusiastic relay to find people.

  After learning that the old man was finally reunited with the fireman’s son, Weibo Big V forwarded it one after another and shared the moment of father-son reunion. Netizens also left messages and said, "This is the best news I heard on the last day of the long holiday."

  Although the old man lost his memory, he still went to his son’s unit.

  The Gaomidian squadron of the special service detachment of Beijing Public Security Fire Brigade is the work unit where Pan Zhaohu, the youngest son of the old man, lived here when he visited his son in Beijing before. After the disappearance of the old man, Pan Zhaohu’s colleagues have all seen the photos of the old man, and also helped to find them near the Gaomi store, and paid special attention to the passing old people.

  A leader of the Gaomidian squadron told the Beijing Youth Daily that the old man had forgotten everything, and it was not easy to find it by himself with vague memories. Now the old man is safe and sound.

  After confirming that the old man found was Pan Puquan, the firemen of Gaomidian squadron informed the Pan brothers, and Pan Zhaoxiang, the eldest son on duty, heard the news and came to reunite with the old man. Looking for no results for many days, I have been worried about my father’s situation for days. Pan Zhaoxiang was excited to cry when he saw his father.

  A firefighter who accompanied the elderly told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when he found the old man, he could not recognize his son because he had committed Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone wanted to help him carry the moon cakes, but he refused. He also resisted persuading him to join the team to rest. It was not until he spoke to his younger son Pan Zhaohu on the phone that the old man let down his guard. "We didn’t give the coat, hat and moon cakes on our hands. We had them when we saw him. Maybe the moon cakes were brought from home."

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw from the photos on the scene that Pan Zhaoxiang came forward to hold an umbrella for his father to recognize him, but the old man shrank his hands in his sleeves and looked at Pan Zhaoxiang warily. After seeing Pan Zhaoxiang crying, the old man was at a loss. One hand was held by him, and the other hand was still holding the moon cake, and his eyes were a little dull.

  The late "Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion" old man finally got his wish

  I don’t know what the old man experienced after getting off at Beijing West Railway Station, how to spend these 12 days, and how to find the Gaomidian squadron. Pan Zhaoxiang said that it is a blessing to find his father, and the rest is not important.

  At about 15 o’clock on the 8th, it rained harder and harder. The reporter of Beiqing Daily came to the squadron of Gaomidian. The old man Pan Puquan had been settled in the dormitory building to rest. The eldest son Pan Zhaoxiang was cooperating with the police to understand the situation of the old man, while the younger son Pan Zhaohu was on duty outside. After learning the news found by his father, he was also coming to reunite. Yang Na (a pseudonym), the little daughter-in-law of the old man, is working in Inner Mongolia. After learning the news of finding her father-in-law, she is also on her way from Inner Mongolia. During the 12 days of Pan Puquan’s disappearance, his son and daughter-in-law couldn’t sleep well. While sticking to their duties, they were busy looking for the elderly with the help of all parties, and finally reunited before the end of the long vacation.
