Chinese man wrongly jailed for murder spends first Lunar New Year Holiday since 1994 with family

A man from China who was wrongly jailed for 21 years for murder has spent his first Lunar New Year holiday in decades with his family, a newspaper reported.

Chen Man, now 53, was released from jail earlier this month after a court in eastern Zhejiang province ruled there was insufficient evidence to support his murder conviction.

He has spent the Lunar New Year holiday with his family in Mianzhu in Sichuan province, the West China City Daily reported.

One of Chen's nephew was a baby the last time he saw him and is now married, according to the article.

Chen was given a suspended death sentence in 1994 for the killing of a woman on Hainan island.
