Chinese couple reunited after memory loss separates them for 23 years

Police in central China have helped reunite a couple separated for more than two decades after the wife lost her memory and went missing.

Lu Yunrong disappeared from her home in Hubei province 23 years ago after a head injury resulted in memory loss and she became lost, Anhui Television reported on Monday.

Lu ended up in a village in Nanyang, Henan province, where she remained in the care of a local family.

Her husband, Wen Lianglin, spent the next two decades looking for her but the couple were only reunited after Lu suddenly remembered the names of her spouse and children and informed police last week, the report said.
