An American girl named Bella is looking for her Chinese biological parents.刘娜: Yes, I saw it. Twenty-three years ago she was found and taken in by a kind person in Sichuan, and later adopted by an American family. Now that she’s grown up, she wants to return to China to find her family.大卫: I’m really moved. She said she only remembers a little Chinese and especially mentioned a place called 定水镇.刘娜: Yes, her video has spread all over the internet, and many volunteers have already gone there to help look for clues. I truly hope her wish comes true.大卫: My mom is also Chinese, so I really understand her feelings about wanting to find her ‘roots’. This is what people call ‘落叶归根’, right?刘娜: That’s exactly right! Chinese people often say ‘叶落归根’, meaning that no matter how far one goes, they still hope to return to their homeland in the end.大卫: I feel that this isn’t just her own story, but also a special connection between China and the United States.刘娜: Yes. Love and family bonds have no borders, and I hope her story helps more people understand the deep meaning of ‘blood is thicker than water’.
