If the authority by chance has the wind of his pregnancy, they would move them away their child. The lady remained put inside her house for six weeks. She came out the day of her work. Qian was not admitted to a hospital fearing that someone would have a wind that he had to deliver his child to the strangest place.

After that, they cut the umbilical cord with sterilized scissors. As the couple did not have sterilized scissors, they had to do it by aligning it in boiled water.
A help of help
As the birth was made in the absence of appropriate medical care, the complications were still persistent. Although the baby seemed healthy, the couple soon felt something was not right. Finally, they had to ask for help from a doctor who promised to keep this birth a secret.
Save one's life
The couple knew that the life of their baby was in danger as long as she was with them. Qian had not kept her in her for months, not for nothing. However, the dominant policy prevented them from keeping it. Xu, the father decided to do something that would have torn their hearts.
Vegetable market
The next day, Xu woke up before the breakup of dawn and moved to the vegetable market with the infant. The view had become very blurred because of the tears that had superimposed in his eyes. The market was quite empty with anyone around. It was then he posed his daughter in a corner with a letter and go home, leaving her behind her.
Kiss goodbye
Xu gave him a kiss goodbye before leaving her forever. He won quickly and did not dare to look back. He knew even if for once, he would turn back to see her, it would not be able to take another step of her. As he was fighting with his inner feelings, Qian cried inconsolablely at home. She had just given something that was once a game of her.
A letter to remember
So, what has been written in this letter that he had left by the child's side? Xu did not know what was going to be the destiny of his daughter or had no idea if she was going to be picked by a reliable hand or not. Keep all possibilities in his mind, he wrote this letter for anyone who would have his daughter. The letter read .......
Words straight out of mind
"Our daughter, Jingzhi, was born at 10 o'clock on July 24th of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, 1995. We were forced by poverty and the affairs of the world to abandon it. Oh, pity the hearts of fathers and mothers by far! Thank you for saving our little girl and take it in your care. If the heavens have feelings, if we are gathered by fate, then we find on the broken bridge in Hangzhou in the morning of the Qixi Festival in 10 or 20 years from now. "
A child policy
All of this has happened because of the child's policy that was in effect during this period. So, you have to ask yourself what is the big problem on this subject. Observing China's rapid growth population, the MAO government has decided to maintain an audit by the policy of a child in force in 1979. The policy has been formulated with the intention of Managing the population and reduce poverty.
Repercussions
The program that began in 1979 has remained in 1979 for 35 years until 2015. It is said that about 400 million births were prevented because of the policy. However, the estimate has always been under suspicion.
The adoption agency
Fortunately, Jingzhi was found by a pleasant person who took him to the Children's Social Protection Institute in Suzhou. The kid was admitted to the orphanage with the note. It was at the same time, Ken and Ruth turned to the orphanage with other nine families led by Bethany Christian Services. It was there, they adopted a cute little girl who arrived in Jingzhi. But they not only found the baby but also a letter with her that they could not understand as he was in Chinese.
Decipher
They learned that the baby had been found with this letter. No doubt it missed their curiosity and they wanted to know more about it. They named the Kati girl. The couple took along a translator responsible for translating the contents of the letter into English. After embarking on the bus, they told him the letter.
What to do?
At each word, their astonishment has increased only. The letter has indeed laid a dilemma for the couple. They felt that telling Kati about his parent parent at such a tender age would only aggravate the situation. According to them, the girl was too young to support this truth. So the couple decided to keep the letter away from her until she was mature enough to face it.
She is American through and through
He did not take a long time for Kati to get along with them. Soon, she has become the life of the family. She lived her childhood in a small town of a population of 7,000 inhabitants. The girl adopted the classic American lifestyle without any problem. What did she do with another?
To learn it through
Kati started visiting the church for a very young age while his adoptive parents were very religious. Not only that, but she also learned to play piano, violin. The little girl would contest in sport and would like to travel to the country. After completing high school, Kati took admission to Calvin College to study public health and music. It is a university of liberal arts.
Things improved
Everything worked well and perfectly in the life of Kati. His birthplaces have also progressed in their financial situation. His birthplaces had opened a store where they sold refrigerators, washing machine and other things. Apparently, the couple had to work hard to keep the wolves of the door. They would work every day without stopping. The good thing was that their efforts paid them.
A good life
Xu and Qian had bought a two-bedroom apartment for themselves who seemed to serve the purpose of their little family. The couple would stay all day running their store to provide a good life to his daughter a single girl. As they did their best to keep their daughter happy, they had still not forgotten the girl they had abandoned. And they still remembered the letter.
The first attempt
Ten years had passed, but Xu and Qian still remember their promise. They always wanted to see their daughter and that's why they went to the broken bridge with hopes. They did not know if the note had been read by the adopter or not. They pulled in the dark.
QIXI FESTIVAL
The world around them celebrated the Qixi Festival. Everyone had a big smile on her face and the couple did. A smile that came from hopes. I hope to see his daughter again. Their eyes have not rested a little while they were continually looking for their long-standing daughter Jingzhi. But was the question, were they going to see her?
Broken bridge bringing together hearts
As you can see in the photo, the broken bridge is not broken at all. It is located in Hangzhou where Jingzhi has taken birth. His biological parents are still there. And now, with regard to the Qixi festival, it's like Valentine's Day. But what distinguishes is that the festival is celebrated on July 7 each year.
Say or not say .......
The pohlers were still skeptical about saying in Kati. They loved Kati and did not want his past the trouble. How can you expect a ten-year-old child to handle a great truth about his own life slightly? This would obviously have an impact on his mentally. On the other hand, they were also concerned by his birthplaces. They knew they would come to the bridge to look for it. They needed to find a way.
To help!
As telling Kati about his past was not an option for them, they decided to take help from one of their friends from China. Well, they were not meant not to make a relationship with his birthday but being without a child for years, they knew how to stay without the kid. That's why they decided to take this step. Mr. Poehler called one of his Chinese friends.
It was too late
They asked their friend named Annie Wu to meet his parents at the broken bridge. Annie went to the place of this day in search of Kati's birthplace and seek until the bridge is released. The evening had become the night and the bridge had very few people on it.
Inadequacy
Qian and Xu who had been on the bridge from which the festival started to have left a few moments before Annie's entry. The couple had brought a big poster with them who had the name of their daughter on it. They occupied it throughout the festival. However, no one contacted them and they returned home, a broken heart.
Hoping
Annie found no one on the bridge but she had not yet abandoned hope. During the search, Annie saw a crew of the information camera recording the event. She asked them to show him the band. Fortunately, the crew has accepted. While examining the cassette, Annie spotted a man holding a poster that read the name of his daughter.
All thanks to the new
The news crew covered this story and ran this on their canal. Well, history is nothing less than a tragic film script in which a Chinese girl just born was part of her parents and finds herself in a country thousands of kilometers from her place of birth and her parents. Qian and Xu also met this story on their own child. Both decided to meet Annie who had a letter given by the pohlers to them.
And it was
No doubt, Qian and Xu expected to see their daughter. However, the pohlers did not seem to do it. They did not want Kati's children to worry about that and so they did not tell her. But Qian and Xu who wanted to see their daughter felt very bad about it.
Of the story of the news to the documentary
Changfu Chang, a Chinese documentary immediately intrigued by history at the time he heard it. He decided to make a documentary on it. He met Qian and Xu to learn more about this sad story. After that, he decided to meet the adoptive parents of Kati, Ken and Ruth. It was going to be a little delicate for Chang because he had no idea of the location of the pohlers.
Navigation
However, he has not lost hope. The documentary sought on the internet for any American family-based statement who went to Suzhou to adopt a young Chinese girl. As they say, work hard always pay. The man finally had an index on the pohlers who drove them.
It took a little convincing
Chang asked Pohlers to participate in the documentary, but the family refused the offer. They did not want Kati's childhood to be spoiled by his past. However, they revealed him the secret when she was 21 years old. At that time, the girl herself started feeling a difference between her and her parents. She himself had begun to ask his adoptive parents. She says, "I thought people there would have questions about me being Chinese and American. So I asked my mother to talk to me about my past. "
She knew right away
Kati had his world upside down when she learned that she was adopted. His adoptive parents told them of the letter to the documentary. The girl was in a broken heart but at the same time she wanted to meet her birthplaces. Kati expressed his wish to meet them.
Filming
Kati met Chang and expressed his desire to participate in the film. It did not know that this trip was filled emotion. Chang started with the same vegetable garden of Suzhou where his birth father had left him with uncertainty with a note nestled in his clothes. The information caused a ripple in his heart. She never felt emotional in all her life. However, it was only the beginning, the True Twist came when she met her parents of birth.
Finally on the bridge
Chang had planned everything. The very first meeting of Kati and his birthplays were going to be recorded on the camera for the documentary. Chang planned to make them meet where they had to meet. On the broken bridge! Finally arrived the hour when Kati was held face to face with his parents of birth.
Just before the eyes
After a long wait of 22 years, Qian and Xu finally went to see their daughter. It was a precious moment for them. And when they saw it, they had tears that dragged their eyes. Their daughter they had been forced to give up staying right now in front of them living and kick. They tried to talk to him but the girl did not know anything about Mandarin. On the other hand, the Chinese couple had not learned English.
From zero
These moments were special. Kati spent a few days with her parents of birth. She set up in her sister's room for the stay. His birthplaces also made him meet his grandmother who had just survived a stroke.
