A Chinese mother’s 22-year heartbreak at a roadside shoe repair stand

For more than two decades Luo Xingzhen has attended her roadside shoe repair stand in southwestern China in the hope that her two missing children will return.

The children, a girl and a boy, disappeared from the busy intersection in Duyun, Guizhou province, in 1996 and have not been seen since, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
