Chinese man discovers via DNA test that both sons are not his after fighting with 1 of them
Man alleges that his oldest son is fathered by the village secretary, while the second son is the child of his cousin
In eastern China, a shocking incident unfolded when a man learned through a DNA test that neither of his two sons was his biological child, following an attack by one of them.
Jiang Hongtao, 45, from Shandong province, took his ex-wife to court, demanding a refund of 300,000 yuan (US$42,000) for child support and education fees.
According to mainland media Jimu News, Jiang married his wife in 2002, and their first son was born two years later, with a second son following in 2014. However, by 2022, frequent absences from his wife led to their divorce.
In the settlement, all property went to his ex-wife, leaving Jiang with only a car. Last September, after returning home with his new wife, Jiang’s ex-wife and two sons turned up, demanding his property.
During a dispute over living expenses, Jiang’s eldest son, Jiang Runze, pushed him and choked him, shouting: “You are not my father,” which raised Jiang’s suspicions.
He subsequently took Runze’s toothbrush for a DNA test, revealing no biological connection, and later discovered that his second son was also not his biological child. Jiang claimed Runze was fathered by the village secretary, while his second son was his cousin’s child.
