In early July, Chen Jie, a man from Shanghai, was on a business trip in Yunnan. He visited Lugu Lake, a famous tourist site. A man who looked older than him asked Chen to take a photo.

However, Fei's ancestralancestral/ænˈsestrəl/L2祖先的；祖传的relating to your ancestors, the people in your family who lived a long time ago home was Puyuan in Zhejiang. This was the same town that Chen came from.
Chen told his father about the meeting. His father asked if Fei's father was named Fei Yunfeng. Fei confirmed this. They discovered that Fei's father and Chen's grandfather were brothers. Chen's grandfather was adopted by a family named Chen. This changed his surname. Fei's father moved to Taiwan before 1949. As a result, the two families lost contact for many years. In 1991, Fei's father sent a letter and $200 to Chen's grandfather. 'I cannot return to the mainland this year. Let me find an opportunity next year,' he wrote.
Both older men have passed away. Fei was also amazed by the coincidencecoincidence/koʊˈɪnsɪdəns/L2巧合a situation where two things happen at the same time or in the same way by chance.
