2008年的一天，彭高峰4岁的儿子在街头玩耍时，被一名男子强行抱走。为了寻找丢失的孩子，三年里彭高峰尝试了无数的办法。他到处散发寻找儿子的传单，并在自家商店外挂上了"寻亲子、悬赏10万"的广告，还在网上开起了寻子博客。但是从13亿人中找到一个人，就如同"大海捞针"，难度实在太大了。彭高峰寻找了三年多一直都没有结果。 据了解，目前民间有很多寻找孩子的方式，例如宝贝回家网站、寻找爱子联合会和寻子联盟等等。但彭高峰没有想到帮助他找到孩子的，是微博。今年春节，在微博上掀起了一场民间救助丢失儿童的活动。丢失孩子的父母在微博上发布孩子的信息和照片，而网友们则把拍到的乞讨儿童的照片发到微博上。看到彭高峰微博上的照片，一名大学生给他打来电话，说在某地见过一个孩子，样子很像他丢失的儿子。以前彭高峰也接到过无数类似的电话，每一次他都兴冲冲地去看孩子，但是每一次都失望而归。没想到这一次，他真的找到了丢失3年多的儿子。原来，抱走孩子的那个男人只有一个女儿，出于"养儿防老"的观念，他在大街上趁人不注意抱走了彭高峰的儿子。 这次，人们发现，"微"博也可以做"大"事。它不仅可以聊天、八卦，还可以帮人们找到孩子。但是当微博帮助一些家庭重新团聚的时候，这种救助方式也引起了很多的争论。比如有人担心，将乞讨儿童的照片发布到网络上，会不会侵犯儿童的隐私？"微博救助"到底何去何从？让我们拭目以待。 One fine day in 2008, Peng Gaofeng's four year old son was snatched away by a man while he was playing on the streets. In order to look for his missing son, Peng Gaofeng attempted various methods. He distributed pamphlets of his son everywhere, and in his shop where he runs a family business, hangs a poster: "Missing son. 100,000 yuan reward". He also set up a blog to look for his missing son. Having to find one person from among 1300,000,000 people, is like looking for a needle in a haystack (lit. to fish a needle from the sea), the problem is overwhelming. For more than three years, Peng Gaofeng's search did not bring any closure on this matter.
It is understood that at present, there are many avenues to search for missing children, for instance, websites such as "Baby Come Home", "Federation For Beloved Missing Child", "Union of Child Find" and so on. But Peng Gaofeng never thought that ultimately, it is the microblog that will help him find his son. This spring, a campaign to locate missing children was initiated on the microblog. Parents whose children have gone missing will release the child's details along with a photo on the microblog. Netizens will also upload photos of child beggars on the microblog. A university student who chanced upon the photo of Peng Gaofeng's son on his microblog, contacted him with news that he spotted a boy resembling his son at a certain location. Previously, Peng Gaofeng had received numerous such calls. Each time he would leave the house bursting with joy and full of expectations. Yet each time he would return home in despair. Never had he imagined that this time, he would find his son who has been missing for three years. It turned out that the man who ran off with his son only had a daughter. Due to the notion of "raising a son for to look after you in your old age", he took the chance to snatch Peng Gaofeng's son when nobody was looking.
People have come to realize that the "micro" blog can do "great" matters. Besides using it for chatting and gossiping, it can also be used in our search for missing children. But while the microblog has helped reunite some families, this method to locate missing children has sparked off numerous debates. For example, some people are concerned that posting the photos of beggar children on the internet will infringe on the privacy of the children. What does the future hold for "microblog to the rescue"? We will just have to wait and see (lit. wipe our eyes and wait).
