I was looking for something else on Flickr, when I came across a bunch of photos posted by someone named "missing person net" 寻人网. Since April 21, 2005, "missing person net" has been posting photos of missing mainland Chinese people on Flickr.
The most recent was posted on May 28, 2007:
Na Kexin, female, 14 years old, born 1/19/94, inadvertently got lost. Home address: Heilongjiang province, Youyi County, Xinglong Town. Distinguishing characteristics: thin, 1.7 meters tall, medium length hair, fairly goodlooking. Contact number: 13555103059. Family guarantees deepest thanks to those who can provide information.
After Baidu'ing the term "missing persons net" this site came up: 110 missing persons net. It posts photos of people who others are looking for. It also has a section called "successful cases," meaning those which have been solved, which are divided into the following categories: Left on Own Accord; Reasons Unknown; Cheated or Kidnapped (all children); Lost Way (quite a few older people); Lost Touch With Friends and Family (only 3 of these); Orphan Looking for Relatives (only 3); Urban Vagrants (3 young boys).
These cases provide the briefest glimpses of a different world:
Name: So-and-so Liu (Liaoning)| Posted: 2006-5-8
Missing person notice: Liu So-and-so, male, age 16, Liaoning Province Benxi City, left home 9/19/04, family members posted notice on this site 5/8/06. 8/2/06 family notified this site that Liu So-and-so had returned safely home.
Advice: Parents should communicate more with children, discover problems in a timely manner, and resolve problems in a timely manner. It is to be hoped that Internet cafes will not allow minors to enter, that work units will not employ child laborers, and that police departments will take more responsibility.
Theresa Castro Mirenda had been missing for 2 years. She went to Hongkong on April 28,2005 and then went to Shanghai. She was about 30 years old when she left.
If you find any information please send us an e-mail.
Sincerely,
Clarita Mirenda (mother)

I am desperately seeking for my husband named Armando Jose Rodado – Amaris, a Colombian and a Math teacher.
Last time we saw each other physically in Shenzhen Airport on mid June 2009 as he had to fly to New Zealand to study in Massey University, Palmerston North while I myself had to fly to my home country, to study as well in Indonesia.Our contact was only by the e-mails, the last one was three months ago. There is no address nor phone number to contact him anymore. He had left New Zealand last December 2010 and nobody knows where he is later residing.Some people told me that he has visited Cebu, Philippines, several times during 2010 and later stayed in Nanjing, Jiangsu to teach Math in China but no more information. Anyone who knows about him in Philippines, China or somewhere else, please let me know I am his legitimate/ formal wife. I will be very much thankful for any help or information.
Mrs. Norma Armando Rodado (normathichana@yahoo.co.id)

I found so much more in this site! This is very inspiring! I, too, like to take photos but I always found it difficult to take photos of such amazing things. Now, I'm beginning to think I should try much harder! You really must devote a lot of time on this. Wow!

Your site is excellent! I love those amazing photographs. I will be back as soon as I could to enjoy all your material.

Thank you for the info. There are so many fronts that we as individuals are losing ground on as we continue to digitize and globalize. You and your organization are very important.

I believe this is necessary for them, for their place is too big.
