温暖奔赴！17小时跨国寻亲后续来了……

“不可思议”“目睹评论区一大家子认亲”“刚点进来，就有后续了”……

几个月前，福建女孩蔡佳儒通过在网上发帖，用一张老照片17小时找到了失联三十余年的海外亲人。

今年春节，寻亲变探亲，一张两家在马来西亚团聚后拍摄的30人全家福感动了无数网友。

Cai Jiaru, a young girl from China's Fujian province, shared a post online, hoping to reconnect with her relatives in Malaysia, with whom contact had been lost for over 30 years. Seventeen hours later, the power of the internet worked its magic. One old photograph led to a dramatic reunion with her long-lost family. Two months later, the search turned into a heartfelt reunion. She and her parents spent an unforgettable Spring Festival with relatives in Malaysia. The family reunion photo touched the hearts of netizens.

这个温暖的故事并未就此画上句号。这一绵延的牵挂背后还有哪些故事？和中国日报记者焦洁一起在马来西亚发现更多惊喜吧！

For years, Cai harbored unanswered questions about her grandfather's past. According to Cai, her grandfather went to Malaysia at a young age in hopes of a better life, eventually returning to China and losing contact with his Malaysian relatives.

All Cai had was fragments: stories, the name Tanjung Malim and an old photo. After repeated dead ends, she turned to the internet, sharing the photo in a heartfelt plea for help.

What followed was a digital miracle. Strangers across Malaysia mobilized, cross-referencing clues with local knowledge. Within hours, messages flooded in and, 17 hours later, Cai reconnected with her Malaysian cousins.

接待我们的是蔡佳儒的表叔王清强。他们一家已从小镇搬到吉隆坡附近，崭新的生活画卷在眼前徐徐展开。

Qingqiang’s grandfather was part of the first generation of Chinese who arrived in Southeast Asia. Through sheer hard work, he built a livelihood by opening up a small grocery shop in a town called Slim River.

带着对过去的怀念，清强阿伯带我们回到曾经生活的仕林河小镇。在那里，我们也找寻到了文化传承的印记。

小镇里，浓浓的中华文化气息扑面而来。他带着我们逛小庙，向我们介绍华文小学，与老朋友聊天叙旧。

走在小镇的街道上，闽南话、客家话、潮汕话交织在一起，声声入耳。

He also brought us back to the old hometown, warmly reminiscing about his childhood days. That afternoon in Slim River, Qingqiang zipped around with us — visiting a small temple, catching up with old friends, introducing the Chinese school. He chatted about village news in Hokkien, Hakka and Teochew. Our ancestors brought their traditions here, and they’ve kept them alive.

镇上的人们坐在街边，用熟悉的乡音聊着家长里短，那亲切的话语仿佛让我们瞬间置身于国内的某个小镇。

毕竟，这是一家人的故事啊。
