‘Don’t want to see me anymore? See you in court’: Chinese teenager sold at birth by parents sues them for deserting him again after reunion
- Liu asked his parents to help him financially but they quickly had a falling-out over money
- His parents say they are not well-off and his father even claimed it was his adoptive family’s responsibility to provide for Liu
Liu Xuezhou, a 17-year-old college student in Hebei province, northern China, said on Thursday that he is suing his birth parents for abandoning him twice after reuniting with them a few weeks ago with the help of police.
The teenager, who tracked down his parents last month, said on his social media account that it was a happy reunion at first, but they started quarrelling after talking about things related to money.
He claimed his parents, who have divorced and have new families, refused to let him live with them or provide a separate place for him. But the parents argued that he was forcing them to buy him property they couldn’t afford.
His father, Ding Shuangquan, told mainland media that they would consider buying him a place once he finishes college and offered Liu to live with him for now, but Liu said they lied about that, adding that neither his mother nor father has let him visit their home.
“Was it your home where you met me? Funny …” he wrote on Weibo.
“I planned to let it go because I am your child anyway. But you are turning ‘white into black’ and don’t feel you’re wrong at all by selling me. See you in court then,” he wrote.
