Blind Chinese opera musicians 'discover they were brother and sister abandoned at birth'

Two blind musicians, who performed together in northern China, later discovered they were brother and sister abandoned as babies and are now looking for their biological parents, according to a newspaper report.

The pair, born 10 years, apart, were both left by their parents by the roadside, the Zhengzhou Evening News reported.

Zheng Yurong, now 30, was abandoned on a snow-covered road in Lushan county in Henan province when she was a newborn baby.

Yang Mingming suffered the same fate a decade later and both were then adopted by other families.

Zheng made a living performing local opera when she grew up and the pair met when she went to Luoyang in Henan four years ago.
