Twin sisters separated soon after birth 36 years ago and adopted by different families in eastern China have been reunited, thanks to a police officer who went through hundreds of ID photos.

Zhao said one of the women, Wang Hui, also worked at the station and approached him for help, saying she thought her sister could be also be in Hangzhou.
She said she knew that she had a twin sister, but their parents were poor and had to give them up to other families 16 days after the girls were born.
They had not crossed paths in the years since but a few months ago a passenger told Wang that he met someone in Hangzhou who was of the same age and similar appearance as her, according to the report.
