A Chinese couple have found their long-lost daughter after a 24-year-search, according to news reports.
Wang Mingqing and his wife Liu Dengying had looked for Qifeng since she disappeared aged three in 1994. The couple were working as fruit sellers when they realised she had gone missing from their roadside stall.

Mr Mingqing even became a taxi driver in Chengdu city in the hope he might one day pick her up as a passenger.
When he noticed how much his customers were using their phones, he enlisted their help by asking them to post appeals on social media in the hope his missing daughter might see them.
He also printed and distributed 10,000 fliers that outlined the details of the case, including a description of how the young girl looked when she went missing.
Two weeks ago, a 27-year-old woman contacted the Wangs via social media after reading about his search and realising she might be the girl in question.
The woman had been told she was adopted as a child and grew up in a town only 20 kilometres from her birth parents.
With the help of an NGO that helps reunite parents with their missing children, the woman, now a mother of two young children, took a DNA test that on Sunday confirmed she was Wang's daughter.
She was reunited on Tuesday.
