Married Man's TV Search for Ex-Girlfriend Who Lent Him $1,400 Goes Viral in China

A man named Li is looking for a woman named Ma who was his girlfriend a long time ago.

They met when he was young and she was divorced and raising a child.

They were in love for eight years, but they broke up because his dad wanted him to come home and get married.

Years later, when Li was starting a business and had no money, Ma gave him $1,400 without hesitation.

Li lost her phone number soon after and couldn't contact her anymore.

He never forgot her kindness and has always wanted to pay her back and see how she is.

He even appeared on a TV show to help find her, but it's been hard because her old home is gone and officials can't find her or her family.

His current wife supports his search and wants him to return the money.
