Imagine what that moment would be like when a mother comes to know after 42 years that a piece of her liver is alive. It will not be easy for the son to describe this moment of meeting in words. A similar miracle has happened in the South American country Chile. When a young man named Jimmy Lippert Thiden said these words in Spanish to his estranged mother, Maria Angelica Gonzalez, it was as if time had stopped. Both of them hugged each other and started crying. Maria was clutching a piece of her liver to her chest at her home in Valdivia, Chile.
With tears flowing from his eyes, Jimmy said to his mother, ‘I love you very much.’ There was no limit to Maria’s happiness after holding her son to her chest after so many years. She says that the happiness was so much that my breathing stopped. I want to cover this long gap in a moment. I want to give my son the love he has deserved over the years. The story is 42 years old, when Maria gave birth to a child in the hospital. While she was looking at the child in her arms, the hospital staff took the child away.
Later he was informed that his son had died, but this was not true, because the child had been stolen by the hospital staff. In fact, thousands of children were snatched from Chilean families in the 1970s and 1980s.
This is how the son’s journey to find his mother began
Jimmy’s journey to find his biological family began in April this year. It began when she began reading stories of Chilean-born adoptees who were reunited with their biological parents with the help of the Chilean non-profit organization Nos Buscamos (We Search). Over the past nine years, Nos Buscamos has reunited more than 450 “lost people.” The organization discovered that Jimmy’s mother had given birth prematurely in a hospital in Chile’s capital, Santiago, and Jimmy was taken from her and placed in an incubator. Angelica was asked to leave the hospital, but when she returned she was told that her child had died.
DNA test confirmed, reunion happened again
The organization ‘Nos Buscamos’ has been working for the past two years with the genealogy platform ‘MyHeritage’, which provides free home DNA testing kits for Chilean adoptees and suspected victims of child trafficking in Chile . Jimmy’s DNA test confirmed that he was 100% Chilean and matched a relative of his who used the ‘MyHeritage’ platform. After this, his quest to reunite with his mother, who was separated 42 years ago, was completed.
China Recession: After Covid, the effect of increased inflation and economic recession in China is being seen on the world. However, China has controlled inflation in its country to a great extent. Along with this, it is also trying its best to come out of the economic recession. According to the latest report, China’s factories have gained momentum and retail sales have also increased in August. The report released by the government on Friday indicated that the economy may gradually recover from the situation after the global pandemic. However, despite busy activity in restaurants and shops, the data showed continued weakness across all key property sectors. Real estate developers are struggling to repay loans due to sluggish demand. Real estate investment declined by 8.8 percent on an annual basis in August. The decline has been increasing continuously since the beginning of the year. To reduce the burden on banks, the People’s Bank of China or the central bank said late Thursday that the reserve requirement for most lenders will be reduced by 0.25 percentage points by Friday.
Retail sales in China increased 4.6 percent year-on-year in August
According to the central bank, this will make more money available for lending to strengthen the foundation of economic recovery and maintain appropriate and adequate liquidity. According to the report released on Friday, retail sales in August increased by 4.6 percent on an annual basis, auto sales increased by 5.1 percent. There was a slight increase of 2.5 percent in retail sales in July. Industrial production grew at an annual pace of 4.5 percent, the fastest increase since April. It had increased by more than 3.7 percent in July. Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics said in the report that the trends in August were slightly better than expected. China’s economy grew 0.8 percent in the April-June quarter compared to the previous quarter.
What will be the impact on India?
After Covid, the whole world is looking at India as a big market and manufacturing hub. Due to this, in recent times almost big companies of the world have expressed their desire to establish their manufacturing base in India. However, at present China’s dominance in the manufacturing and export sectors is much greater than India’s. But, after coming out of the recession, China will make every effort to return to its previous situation. For this, the Central Bank of China has already started working on the strategy of providing loans etc. to the construction sector of its country.
What is India’s preparation?
India is making full preparations to compete with China. The historic India-West Asia-Europe Economic Corridor was announced on the first day of the recently held G-20 summit. India, America, UAE, Saudi Arabia, France, Italy, Germany and European Union will participate in it. Through this corridor, India, West Asia and Europe will now be directly connected through rail and port. With its construction, trade between India and Europe will increase by about 40%. It is being considered as the answer to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) corridor. This corridor was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with US President Joe Biden, Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman and European Union leaders. On this occasion, PM Modi said that today we have reached a historic partnership. In the coming time, it will become an effective medium for economic integration of India, West Asia and Europe. At the same time, Biden said that America will invest in a new rail line from Angola towards the Indian Ocean. This will create jobs and increase food security.
