A Chinese man who was trapped in India for more than 50 years has finally been reunited with his family.
The BBC had reported how Wang Qi, an army surveyor who says he accidentally crossed into India in 1963, had not been given the necessary documents to leave the country.
Following the report, he was visited by Chinese diplomats, who told him efforts were being made to take him back. Mr Wang was met by family members when his flight landed in Beijing.
Later, in his home city of Xianyang, crowds met him with banners reading "Welcome home, soldier, it's been a rough journey". Mr Wang flew out from Delhi on Friday night accompanied by his adult children.
Chinese officials took him and his family shopping in a Delhi mall before they boarded the flight.

A friend of mine crossed into Canada from NYS to photograph the north side of a boundary monument....the border guards were down on him in 20 seconds.
If loving you is Wong, then let’s hide the Wang...
"It does have a little Wang to it!"
LOL!
They didn’t say he was a GOOD surveyor.
Why didn’t he just walk across the border? Oh wait, that isn’t the U.S./Mexico border.
“According to my H.S. friend surnamed Wang, it’s pronounced like Wong. To sum up: if Wang is Wong, then Wong must be wight.”
So you are saying he might be related to Sum Ting Wong?
Probably fear that his Chicom superiors would have executed him for ‘losing face’.
