Ye Menglei: Between Two Worlds, Searching for Where She Comes From | 叶梦蕾:在两种世界之间,寻找自己的来处

“Hello, my name is Ye Menglei, and I am searching for my birth family.”

Menglei was born in China, with an estimated date of birth of 31 August 2005. On 2 September 2005, she was found outside the Wu Jialong Fruit and Vegetable Market at No. 5 Huisui Road in Daye, Hubei Province. At the time, she was only about two days old, dressed in pink autumn clothes and wrapped in a white blanket with kitten patterns and a blue plaid quilt.

After being found, she was taken to the Daye Children’s Welfare Institute, where she lived with a foster family for nearly a year. She was later adopted and brought to the United States, where she grew up in a new family.

Today, Menglei is a university student studying in Massachusetts, USA. She lives with her mother, grandmother, and two dogs, in a home filled with warmth and support.

She is currently in Beijing for a four-month Mandarin language programme. After completing her studies, she plans to travel to Daye with her mother to continue her search for her birth family.

Menglei says she is very close to her adoptive mother, who has always supported her in seeking her roots. She hopes that one day she will be able to meet her birth parents, as well as any siblings she may have, and to build a relationship with them if they are open to it.

“Understanding where I come from is deeply important to me.”

She loves China and has returned to the country several times. For her, searching for family is not only about finding answers, but also about reconnecting with herself and her cultural heritage.

If you have any relevant information, or are willing to share this message, you may help bring her closer to her origins.

May every search be met with kindness, and may every journey home be guided by light.

“你好,我叫叶梦蕾,我正在寻找我的亲生家人。”

梦蕾出生于中国,推测出生日期为 2005 年 8 月 31 日。2005 年 9 月 2 日,她在湖北省大冶市会遂路 5 号吴家垄果蔬市场门口被发现。当时的她,大约只有两天大,穿着粉色秋衣,被一条印有小猫图案的白色被子和一条蓝色格子毯包裹着。

被发现后,她被送往大冶市儿童福利院,并在寄养家庭中生活了近一年。随后,她被收养并带到美国,在新的家庭中长大。

如今的梦蕾,已经是一名在美国马萨诸塞州求学的大学生。她与母亲、外祖母以及两只狗一起生活,拥有一个温暖而支持她的家庭。

此刻,她正在北京进行为期四个月的中文学习。学习结束后,她将与母亲一起前往大冶,继续他的寻亲之旅。

梦蕾说,他和养母关系非常亲密,母亲也一直支持他寻找自己的根。她希望有一天能够见到自己的亲生父母,以及可能存在的兄弟姐妹,并在彼此愿意的前提下建立联系。

“了解自己的来处,对我来说非常重要。”

她热爱中国,也曾多次回到这片土地。对她而言,寻亲不仅是寻找答案,更是与自我、与文化的重新连接。

如果您了解相关线索,或愿意转发这条信息,也许就能帮助她更接近自己的来处。

愿每一次寻找,都被温柔回应。愿每一段归途,都有光相伴。
