An adopted 27-year-old woman in southern China has become the fastest person ever in the country to find her original family.

The biological parents of the woman, surnamed He, who lives in Heyuan of Guangdong province, contacted her just two days after she released videos online looking for them.

She posted a video clip on social media on March 21 listing the address where she was sent out to her adoptive family at the beginning of 1998 and the location of the village where her adoptive family lives, the news outlet Red Star News reported.

“No matter what happened before, I can accept it. I hope my parents can come to find me, or you can tell me your address and I can find you,” He said in her footage.

She added: “My adoptive parents have been telling me that my biological parents are Sichuan natives, with my father’s surname being Tan.”

He, who put her blood information into the national DNA database recently, shared another video the next day, revealing that her biological father was a clothes designer, wears glasses and had two daughters before her.
