Browsing for videos to capture yourself? Twin sisters reunited after 20 years of separation Lawyer: The price of fraud is too high

Bloggers Xiao Xia and Ronaldinho recently released a short video of “The twins reunited after 20 years of separation on their birthday”, claiming that they discovered each other through the Internet platform on their birthday and recognized each other as relatives. This “miraculous reunion”, which is like the plot of a novel, immediately attracted a lot of attention. Lawyer Sun Tianbao pointed out that if the content is true, it is a wonder in life, but if it is staged or artificially packaged, the creator will face huge traffic backlash and serious legal costs.

According to Chengxi News City Express, blogger Xiao Ziya wrote in a post that the two had the same birthday, but they had been absent from each other’s lives for 20 years, and the day before the birth they were reunited. According to Xiao Xia, his biological parents were unable to raise his third twins after giving birth to them, so his adoptive parents adopted him after meeting his biological parents in the community. Xiao Luo was also taken away by others around the same time. Both were separated since childhood and never met the two sisters of their original family. However, the lack of details about the placement and adoption process in the film has raised questions among the public about the legality of the adoption processes and the authenticity of the storyline.

After this online reunion incident was exposed, it sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Many netizens sent their blessings, saying, “It’s just a miracle of blood relations.” “It is very pleasant and magical that a person who looks exactly the same suddenly appears after 20 years of life.” However, some netizens also questioned, “Is it so easy to adopt a child? Doesn’t it require any procedures?” “Isn’t this really a performance or staging? It’s a bit accidental. If it were a script, it would be too much.”

According to the “Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China”, adoption must be registered with the civil affairs department of the government at the county level or above, and only orphans who have lost their parents, minors whose biological parents cannot be found, or whose biological parents have special difficulties and are unable to raise them can be adopted. The adopter must also be above 30 years of age and must meet five legal conditions such as the ability to raise children. If the child is placed for private adoption or does not follow legal procedures, it does not comply with current legal regulations.

Beijing lawyer Sun Tianbao analyzed that if the identity of the “twins” is true, but the major plot lines such as “the twins came on their birthday” are artificially designed, then it is a false staged shot with imaginary plots to make the public misunderstand. If you simply publish processed videos without inducing consumption or rewards, it is a violation of platform standards and morally dishonest. However, if you use this persona to solicit live broadcast rewards, merchandise, or raise funds, this would constitute civil fraud and may even be a violation of the crime of fraud.
