Mama Would Never Give You Up—Tencent “Living”
Liao Lulu—Tencent “Living”
This story of Chen Yi’s struggle begins, she says, after her husband physically abused and cheated on her, and she filed for divorce. Nearly a month later, on February 10, 2016, nine strange men showed up at her apartment and snatched her son, and she has not seen him since. Yet local police refused to open a case, calling the kidnapping a “domestic dispute” and telling the couple to resolve the matter themselves. Chen’s plight is not uncommon. In this gallery, photographer Liao Lulu follows six women who allege their children were taken away by their fathers in connection with a divorce.
