Identical twin sisters in China met each other for the first time at the age of 30 and were amazed to discover they share the same hairstyle, fashion sense and have even given their sons the same name.

Their story went viral online after the sisters were featured on a Shanghai television programme in March.

The twins were adopted by different families in eastern China’s Shandong province soon after they were born in 1991.

Although she knew she was adopted from about the age of seven, the older sister, Sun Ye, did not know she had a twin sister until she was 21.

She began searching, and a decade later, an old neighbour of the younger sister, Liu Yan, sent Sun a link to her Douyin account, saying they look exactly the same.

Sun immediately knew it was her sister. She said she and her cousin from her adoptive family looked through 300 videos on Liu’s account and managed to locate her from the details in her videos.
