Reunited after 30 years, Chinese twins face a bitter breakup when 1 disappears with the money from the start

Twin sisters in China are reunited after 30 years, only to be estranged by failed business ventures, with one sister disappearing with the start-up funds.

The twins, originally from central China’s Henan province, were separated at birth and adopted by different families living 50 kilometers apart, Zhengguan News reported.

In rural China, some poor parents send their newborns to foreigners in the hope of a better life. Such informal adoptions are illegal without official documents.

In March 2021, 30-year-old Zhang Li discovered a video on a social media platform featuring a woman who looked identical to her, named Cheng Keke.

After chatting, they realized that they not only share the same birthday, but also the same blood type, interests and even similar fashion tastes.

The two visited a hospital for a DNA test, which confirmed they were twin sisters. At that time, they both lived in different locations in Henan Province.
