A woman finally met with her elder sister in the southern city of Guangzhou on Tuesday after years of search since she was abducted 73 years ago.

Li Shurong, 79, was born in North China's Hebei province, and was abducted from her hometown and sold in Northeast China when she was six years old in 1943.

Though Li was leading a happy life with her children and grandchildren, her sole aim in life was to find her family members.

Through the help of volunteers she recently tracked down her elder sister Ai Shuzhang, 81, living in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province.

On Tuesday, Li flew on a four-hour journey from Changchun, Jilin province, to Guangzhou, and met with her sister at the Baiyun Airport in the southern city.
