Jiang Xiaoyue: Dear You, I Still Believe Love Will Bring Us Together Again | 江小月：亲爱的你，我始终相信，爱会让我们再次相遇
“Dear you…”
Some letters have a recipient’s name and address.
Others are written without knowing where they will eventually go, or whether the person they are meant for will ever have the chance to read them.
At the age of 29, Jiang Xiaoyue has written a letter to her birth mother.
She does not know where her mother is today, or whether she still remembers her. But after 28 years of living in the Netherlands, Xiaoyue still wanted to put these words on paper, hoping that one day they might reach the person far away for whom they were written.
Found in Jiangmen Three Days After Her Birth
According to the information currently available, Jiang Xiaoyue was born on 20 May 1997.
Three days later, on 23 May, she was found outside a children’s welfare institution in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province.
She was later adopted to the Netherlands, where she grew up.
Today, Xiaoyue is 29 years old and has lived in the Netherlands for 28 years.
She says: “I am Chinese, and I am proud of it!”
She may also have a Dutch name, but her Chinese name has always remained with her: Jiang Xiaoyue.
That name has become a thread connecting her to the place where her life began.
“I Have Always Carried My Birth Parents in My Heart”
Xiaoyue has very little information about the first three days of her life.
She does not know who her birth parents are or where they live today. Nor does she know whether, after all these years, they still think about the daughter they once had to leave behind.
But in her letter, she writes:
“I have always carried my birth parents in my heart, even though I don’t know who they are, where they are, whether they are still alive, or whether they still think of me.”
There are no accusations and no assumptions about what happened.
There is simply a daughter, now grown up, who wants to know where her story began. She also wants the family she has never met to know that the little girl born in May 1997 has grown up.
“I Believe Love Will Bring Us Together Again”
Twenty-eight years is a long time.
Cities change. People move away. Details gradually fade from memory.
But perhaps someone still remembers Jiangmen in May 1997.
Perhaps someone remembers a newborn baby girl, something that happened within a particular family, or even a few words overheard in passing all those years ago.
Memories that may seem insignificant could become important clues in Xiaoyue’s search for where her life began.
In her letter, she writes: “I still believe that love will bring us together again.”
If you are from Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, know anything about the area around May 1997, or have any information that might be connected to Jiang Xiaoyue’s origins, please help by sharing her story and allowing this letter to her birth mother to travel a little further.
Perhaps what it ultimately needs to reach is not an address, but someone’s memory.
May Xiaoyue’s “Dear you” one day find the person it was written for. And may the reunion she continues to believe in one day become more than a distant hope, bringing them face to face at last.

“亲爱的你……”
有些信，知道收信人的名字和地址。
有些信，却不知道最终会寄往哪里，也不知道收信的人是否有机会看到。
29岁的江小月，写下了一封给亲生母亲的信。
她不知道母亲现在在哪里，也不知道她是否还记得自己。但在荷兰生活了28年之后，她仍然想把这些话写下来，希望有一天，它们能够抵达那个远方的人。
出生三天后，她被留在江门
根据现有资料，江小月出生于1997年5月20日。
三天后的5月23日，她在广东省江门市福利院门口被发现。
后来，她被领养到荷兰，并在那里长大。
如今，她已经29岁，在荷兰生活了28年。
她说：“我是中国人，我为此感到骄傲！”
也许她有一个荷兰名字，但她的中文名字始终陪伴着她——江小月。
这个名字，也成为她与生命最初来处之间的一条线。
“我把亲生父母一直放在心里”
关于生命最初的那三天，小月能够掌握的信息很少。
她不知道自己的亲生父母是谁，不知道他们如今生活在哪里，也不知道二十多年过去，他们是否还会想起那个曾经离开自己的女儿。
但她在信中写道：“我把亲生父母一直放在心里，尽管我不知道他们是谁、在哪里、是否还在人世，也不知道他们是否还会想起我。”
没有质问，也没有预设答案。
只是一个已经长大的女儿，想知道自己的故事最初从哪里开始，也想让素未谋面的亲人知道：那个出生于1997年5月的女孩，如今已经长大了。
“爱会让我们再次相遇”
二十八年，是很长的一段时间。
城市会改变，人会搬家，许多细节也会随着时间慢慢淡去。
但也许仍有人记得1997年5月的江门。
也许有人记得一个刚出生不久的女婴，记得那个家庭曾经发生过什么，甚至只是记得一句当年无意间听到的话。
这些看似微小的记忆，都可能成为小月寻找生命来处的重要线索。
她在信中写下了一句话：“我始终相信，爱会让我们再次相遇。”
如果您来自广东江门，了解1997年5月前后当地的情况，或掌握任何可能与江小月身世有关的信息，请帮助转发她的故事，也帮助这封写给亲生母亲的信走得更远一些。
也许它最终抵达的，并不是一个地址，而是一个人的记忆。
愿小月写下的“亲爱的你”，有一天能够拥有一个真实的收信人；也愿她始终相信的那场相遇，终有一天从遥远的期盼变成彼此眼前的重逢。
