“We were adopted from Hefei, Anhui Province, to the Netherlands.”
Standing together in front of the camera, three young people introduce themselves and share what they know about their early lives.
They are Zhang Wenna, Lu Shupeng and Zheng Dongqin.
Born in different years, each has their own story. Yet they have come together with one shared hope: to find their birth parents.
Three People, Three Different Beginnings
According to the information shared in the video:
Zhang Wenna
Born on 28 September 2003, she was found that same day outside a children's welfare institution in Hefei, Anhui Province. She was wearing a red jacket at the time.
Lu Shupeng
Born on 17 August 2008, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, he was found the following day, 18 August, outside a private hospital in Feidong County, Hefei, Anhui Province.
Zheng Dongqin
Born on 17 June 1998, she was found the following day, 18 June, outside a children's welfare institution in Feixi County, Hefei, Anhui Province.
All three were later adopted to the Netherlands, where they grew up.
Although they were born in different years and found in different places, Hefei, Anhui Province, is the place that connects their searches for the beginnings of their lives.
Searching Together, Reaching More People
For international adoptees, searching for their birth families is often far from easy.
Ten or twenty years may have passed. Streets and neighbourhoods may have changed, and people who once knew what happened may have moved away.
Yet sometimes, an important clue survives in someone's memory.
Perhaps someone remembers the baby girl wearing a red jacket who was found outside a welfare institution in Hefei in September 2003.
Perhaps someone knows what happened outside a private hospital in Feidong County in August 2008.
Or perhaps someone still remembers the child found outside a welfare institution in Feixi County in June 1998.
Memories that may seem insignificant could become valuable clues in their searches.
This time, the three young people have chosen to appear together on camera, hoping to bring their individual stories to a wider audience.
They are searching for different families, but they can support one another along the way and help each other's stories reach more people.
May Their Search Reach Hefei
If you are from Hefei, Anhui Province, particularly Feidong County, Feixi County or the surrounding areas, or remember anything relevant to the years 1998, 2003 or 2008, please take a moment to read their information.
If you previously worked at a local children's welfare institution or hospital, or know anything that might be connected to their early lives, please help by sharing their stories so that they may reach someone who remembers.
For Zhang Wenna, Lu Shupeng and Zheng Dongqin, the Netherlands is where they grew up, while Hefei is where the earliest chapters of their lives began, chapters they are still hoping to understand.
Searching for one's birth parents does not necessarily mean wanting to change the life one has today. Sometimes, it is simply about understanding where one's story began and having the opportunity to meet the people with whom one shares a biological connection.
Three people, three different beginnings, but one shared hope.
May their search travel across the distance between the Netherlands and China, reaching those who may still remember something from the past. And may the day come when they can return to the place where their stories began, carrying with them the answers they have been searching for.

“我们从安徽合肥被领养到荷兰。”
镜头前，三位年轻人站在一起，介绍自己的名字和寻亲信息。
他们是张文娜、卢书鹏和郑东芹。
三个人出生于不同的年份，有着各自不同的人生经历，却因为同一个心愿走到了一起：寻找自己的亲生父母。
三个人，三个不同的起点
根据视频中提供的寻亲资料：
张文娜
出生于2003年9月28日，同一天在安徽省合肥市一所福利院门口被发现，当时身穿红夹克。
卢书鹏
出生于2008年8月17日（农历），第二天，即8月18日，在安徽省合肥市肥东县一家民营医院门口被发现。
郑东芹
出生于1998年6月17日，第二天，即6月18日，在安徽省合肥市肥西县福利院门口被发现。
后来，他们分别被领养到荷兰，并在那里长大。
虽然三人的出生年份和被发现地点各不相同，但安徽合肥，是他们寻找生命来处时共同指向的地方。
一起寻找，也许能让更多人看见
对于海外被领养者来说，寻找亲生家人往往并不容易。
时间过去了十几年、二十几年，当年的街道可能已经改变，知情的人也可能搬离原来的住处。
但有时，一条重要的线索就藏在某个人的记忆里。
也许有人记得2003年9月合肥福利院门口那个穿着红夹克的女婴。
也许有人知道2008年8月肥东县一家民营医院门口曾经发生过什么。
也许有人还记得1998年6月肥西县福利院门口发现的那个孩子。
这些看似微小的记忆，都可能成为寻亲路上的重要线索。
这一次，三位年轻人选择一起面对镜头，让各自的故事被更多人看见。
他们寻找的是不同的家庭，但可以彼此陪伴，也可以一起把寻亲的信息传递得更远。
愿来自荷兰的寻找，能够传回合肥
如果您来自安徽合肥，特别是肥东县、肥西县及周边地区，或者了解1998年、2003年、2008年当地的相关情况，请留意这三位年轻人的寻亲信息。
如果您曾在相关福利机构、医院工作，或知道任何可能与他们身世有关的线索，也请帮助转发，让更多可能知情的人看到。
对于张文娜、卢书鹏和郑东芹来说，荷兰是他们成长的地方，而安徽合肥则是他们希望进一步了解的生命起点。
寻找亲生父母，不一定是为了改变现在的生活，而是希望知道自己最初的故事，也希望有机会认识那些与自己有着血缘联系的人。
三个人，三个不同的起点，却有着同一个愿望。
愿他们的寻亲信息能够跨越山海，抵达那些可能记得往事的人；也愿有一天，他们能够带着找到的答案，再次回到生命故事开始的地方。
