Sister's 33-Year Quest: Found Abducted Brother After Carrying Bricks, Spending Fortune

• Li Lin, 44, found her brother Li Xin after 33 years of relentless searching, driven by guilt over his abduction in 1991.
• Orphaned young, the siblings were separated when Li Xin, then 7, was lured away with bread after they sought shelter in a truck.
• Li Lin worked tirelessly, carrying bricks and washing dishes, spending 1 million yuan (1.30 crore rupees) on her search, distributing thousands of flyers.
• With only a blurry childhood photo and no parental DNA, police in Jiangxi province used the image to identify Li Xin in Guangdong, who had been adopted and renamed.
• The emotional reunion on March 23 saw Li Lin bring bread, vowing her brother would never be hungry again, finally lifting a 33-year burden of self-blame.
