Chinese Couple's Baby Stuns with Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes; DNA Reveals Russian Ancestry

• A Chinese couple, surname Yang, in Yancheng, Jiangsu, gave birth to a daughter, Guojiang, with golden blonde curly hair and bright blue eyes, surprising everyone as both parents are Chinese with black hair and brown eyes.
• Initial suspicions of a hospital baby swap were disproven by multiple DNA tests, confirming Guojiang as their 100% biological daughter.
• The mystery was solved by tracing the family's ancestry, revealing the paternal great-grandfather was of Russian (Slavic) origin, who came to China in the 20th century.
• Recessive genes for blonde hair and blue eyes, inherited from the Russian ancestor, remained dormant for three generations as only boys were born in the family.
• These hidden recessive genes suddenly activated and manifested in Guojiang, explaining her unique appearance and resolving the family's confusion.

Why It Matters: Recessive genes from a Russian ancestor caused a Chinese baby's unique blonde hair and blue eyes.
