In Zhejiang province, located along China’s eastern coast, police have finally reunited a 13-year-old run away with her parents.

The girl, nicknamed Xiao Zhao, had run away with her much older boyfriend, A-Wu, back in September 2013.

A-Wu convinced the 13 year old that they could live like a happily married couple if she would run away from her parents. Xiao Zhao agreed and the two ran away so that A-Wu could look for a job and Xiao Zhao could play house.

Only, once away from Xiao Zhao’s parents A-Wu decided on a get rich quick scheme. He would sell the naive teenager as a child bride to a willing customer.

So A-Wu sold Xiao Zhao for USD $3,200 to Mr. Guo, age 42, who had already outlived his previous wife. Mr. Guo lived in the mountains in Yunnan located in south-west China.

Mr. Guo only gave Xiao Zhao one bowl of rice to eat each day, complaining that she’d already cost him enough money and if she spoke out or cried Mr. Guo beat her.

Xiao Zhao did make 9 attempts to escape, but because Mr. Guo lived in the mountains pretty far from anything you could call civilization, once it started to get dark Xiao Zhao reluctantly turned back. She was more afraid of falling down the mountain, injuring herself and dying of starvation then she was of another beating from her so-called husband.

Sometimes Xiao Zhao would manage to call her parents, but each time was too afraid to say anything. She said Mr. Guo had threatened her, saying if her parents ever did show up, he’d kill them, so she always called and just listened to the sound of her parents voices until they hung up.

Initially, Xiao Zhao’s father thought the calls were crank calls, but eventually contacted the police, suspecting that they may have been from his daughter. The police traced the calls and were finally able to locate the 13 year old, who’d lost so much weight her father barely recognized her.

Mr. Guo and A-Wu have been arrested on charges of kidnapping, human trafficking, child abuse, and rape. The prosecutor will be adding more charges before the case goes to court.

And Xiao Zhao won’t be leaving her parents’ side anytime soon for a long long time. I bet she’s learned her lesson.
