When 40-year-old Tran Thi Kham traveled to Taiwan to search for her long lost father, she only had a few mementos as clues, a gold ring and a picture of a young man. She took several jobs, one of which was to care for an elderly woman until her death. After leaving that job and moving to another city, she realized her precious mementos had been left behind! 77-year-old Tsai Han-chao, the man who had employed her looked for the ring and picture and recognized them as gifts he had given to a Vietnamese woman he had fallen in love with 40 years earlier!
Tran’s mother had died only two years after her birth, and she did not know that the aunt who raised her was not her birthmother until she was an adult. Link -via Metafilter
"Life's ups and downs are just like television drama. How could I have ever dreamed that she is my daughter? I couldn't stop crying when we were finally united," he told Taiwan's TVBS cable news channel.
