A story that has captured the nation's attention revolves around "Shaanxi's Granny Yang from Zhouzhi searching for a young man from Henan to return 80 yuan she had been keeping for him." Twenty-three years ago, Granny Yang offered a warm meal and shelter to a teenage boy far from home, Ren Xiangying. Before Ren departed, he entrusted 80 yuan to Granny Yang for safekeeping, after which they lost contact.
Year after year, the elderly woman held onto hope for his return, while the young man never forgot her kindness. Recently, the two were finally reunited through an online video call, where an emotional Ren Xiangying choked up and called out through the screen, "Mom!" They then made plans to meet in person.
Today, Ren Xiangying traveled from Henan to Shaanxi for the long-awaited reunion. Granny Yang had already prepared the bowl of noodles that had been waiting for 23 years.
