In Kunming, a city in southwestern China's Yunnan province, a Porsche 718 became the center of attention due to the 90 missing child flyers covering its exterior. The vehicle, owned by Du Lin, displayed information about 90 missing children obtained from the charity website Baby Come Home. Du designed the car wrap himself and registered his modified car with local police to comply with legal regulations.
The Baby Come Home website, founded in 2007 by Zhang Baoyan and Qin Yanyou, aims to assist parents in finding their missing children at no cost. Over two decades, more than 400,000 volunteers have helped reunite 15,000 families. In 2021, China reported nearly 6,000 child abduction cases, a significant decrease from over 6,000 in 2012.
While some questioned Du's motives, he emphasized that his primary goal was increasing awareness of missing children, leading to more reunifications. One flyer featured in the car had already led to a family reunion. The online community praised the creative approach, hoping more cars would display such flyers to help more children find their way home.
