A woman thought to have been abandoned by her family as a baby who was later adopted by a Dutch couple has returned to China two decades on to learn Chinese and search for her parents, according to a newspaper report.
The woman has been studying at Guizhou University in Guiyang to search for clues about her parents, the Guizhou Metropolis Daily reported.
The woman, identified only by her Dutch name Vera and as Wei Fang in Chinese, has limited memories of her family as she was thought to have been abandoned at two, but intends to spend one more year in Guizhou province to search for her relatives after beginning her studies in 2010.
Vera was found alone and crying at Guiyang railway station by passers-by, the report said.
Station staff helped appeal for her family to come forward on the tannoy, but nobody claimed the girl.
