There were tears of both joy and disbelief earlier this week as a man was reunited with his son after his abduction 14 years ago, recreating the plot of a movie on which the abduction is based. Even more incredibly, it’s second such occurrence this year.

本周早些时候,当一名男子在 14 年前被绑架后与儿子团聚时,人们流下了喜悦和难以置信的泪水,重现了绑架事件的电影情节。更令人难以置信的是,今年已经是第二次发生这样的事情了。

Born in 2003, on 9 October, 2007, Sun Zhuo was abducted from his home town in Shandong Province while playing in a toy car. Dedicating himself to finding his son, the efforts of the boy’s father,  Sun Haiyang, came to the attention of movie makers, who turned the real-life story into the 2014 hit film, “Dearest” (情爱的).

孙卓出生于2003年,2007年10月9日,他在山东老家一辆玩具车里玩耍时被绑架。为了寻找儿子,男孩的父亲孙海洋的努力引起了电影制片人的注意,他们将这个真实的故事改编成2014年的热门电影《亲爱的》。

Just as in the real-life story on which it is based, the movie is centred around a divorced couple having to deal with their son’s disappearance. After years of hardships, the father’s character finally finds his son in a remote mountainous area, but he has become someone else, having been been given a new identity.

正如它所依据的现实故事一样,这部电影以一对离婚夫妇不得不处理儿子失踪的故事为中心。历经多年磨难,父亲的角色终于在偏远山区找到了儿子,但他却变成了另外一个人,被赋予了新的身份。

So too now in real life. Zhuo was reunited with his father on 6 December. After the discovery, his trafficker has been arrested, while his adoptive parents have also appealed for release on bail pending trial, reports The Paper.

现在现实生活中也是如此。 12月6日,卓与父亲团聚。据澎湃新闻报道,发现后,他的人贩子已被逮捕,而他的养父母也呼吁保释候审。

Zhuo said in an interview that after learning the truth, he was actually a little guilty and under great pressure. “They have been looking for me for more than 10 years. They must be very loving and concerned about me. Thank you for looking for me for so many years. It must have been very hard”, he said.

卓在接受采访时表示,得知真相后,他其实有些愧疚,压力也很大。 “他们已经找了我十多年了。他们一定非常爱我、关心我。谢谢你们这么多年找我。一定很辛苦”,他说。

Nevertheless, Zhuo also said he would choose to go back to his adoptive parents and that his biological parents are the equivalent of having another home, reports Sohu.

不过,据搜狐报道,卓也表示,他会选择回到养父母身边,而他的亲生父母就相当于拥有了另一个家。

t is a happy but bizarre story. But it’s not the only movie based on an abduction which came to such an end this year. 

这是一个快乐但离奇的故事。但这并不是今年唯一一部以绑架为背景的电影。

In another case of “based on a true story” becoming “true story based on a movie”, after the 2015 drama “Lost and Love” (失孤) came out, there was much criticism that the two films were too similar. 

另一个“根据真人真事改编”变成“根据真人真事改编电影”的案例是,2015年的电视剧《失孤》上映后,被批评两部电影过于相似。

By way of defence, the filmmakers said that the two focus on the same topic, hoping that they can have a greater social impact, so as to maintain society’s unremitting attention to the problem of child trafficking.

片方辩解称,两人聚焦同一话题,希望能够产生更大的社会影响,以维持社会对拐卖儿童问题的不懈关注。

Lost and Love is based on the abduction of Guo Xinzhen, who as a 2-and-a-half-year old, was carried away by a woman while playing at the door of his home, also in Shandong Province in 1997. His father, Guo Gangtang, had been searching for him ever since, until they were finally reunited in July of this year.

《迷失与爱情》讲述了1997年,两岁半的郭新珍在山东省自家门口玩耍时被一名女子抱走的故事。此后,他的父亲郭刚堂一直在寻找他,直到今年7月他们终于团聚。

Meanwhile, the makers of Dearest have marked this week’s returning of Zhuo with a special poster (pictured) and sent their congratulatory blessings.

与此同时,《亲爱的》的制作者们用一张特别的海报(如图)来纪念卓本周的回归,并送上了他们的祝贺。
