Chinese teenage boy who was abandoned twice by birth parents found dead in alleged suicide
Liu Xuezhou, 17, was rejected by his parents twice in his unfortunate short lifetime when he was sold as a baby and after a long-awaited recent reunion. It was alleged that the young boy had committed suicide after leaving a lengthy note on Weibo, describing his abandoned, cyberbullied, and sexual abused experience. After his body was found on a beach in Hainan early Monday morning on 24 January 2022 by a civilian search party, he was immediately rushed to a hospital, but it was too late to save him.
Liu was sold by his biological parents at birth in 2005 but became an orphan four years later when his adoptive parents died in a home explosion. However, he was able to reunite with his birth parents last month after an extensive online search, but both parents had set up new families after their divorce, refusing to accept him back into their lives. The conflict escalated after their argument over accommodation issues. In his 10,000-word suicide letter, he said he had been “abandoned twice by his biological parents” and that he would sue his parents for it.
After the fight with his birth parents, it had sparked a flood of online abusive comments such as “I have been told to ‘go to hell’, ‘scheming son of a b****’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘sissy’” as quoted from his suicide note. Furthermore, he had also been called a “deserted child” by his friends in school in the past.
