Two twin brothers separated for over 31 years were moved to tears when they met again in Kaifeng, Henan province, early this week.

Shan Xibiao, who lives with his parents in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, went to Kaifeng to look for his brother late last month after learning he had a twin.

Shan's parents told him a Kaifeng resident named Zhang Naigang adopted his twin brother at three months old.

Shan found his brother, who is now named Jiang Hui, with the help of local police. But communication in the reunited family is not easy; Jiang does not understand his birth mother's dialect.
