A Bangladeshi over 80 years of age has been reunited with his nearly 100-year-old mother after about 70 years due to social media, AFP reported.
At the age of 10, Abdul Kuddus Munsi was sent to live with his uncle but lost touch with his family when he ran away and was adopted by two sisters.
“This is the happiest day of my life,” the 82-year-old from Brahmanbaria, the eastern border district where he was born in 1939, said.
In April, a businessman had posted a video of Kuddus on Facebook, appealing for help in finding his parents. All Kuddus remembered of the first decade of his age was the name of his parents and his village.
Reportedly, a distant relative in the village spotted the social media post and informed Kuddus that his mother, Mongola Nessa, who is in her late 90s, was still alive.

So Kuddus travelled for about 350 km from the western city of Rahshahi to meet his estranged mother. Kuddus is a father to three grown-up sons and five daughters.
Over the weekend, Kuddus was finally reunited with his mother, who identified him by a tear-mark on his hand, as well as his sister.
“My mother is very old and she can’t speak properly,” he added. “She was crying after seeing me and holding my hands. I told her that your son is back and you don’t have to worry about anything from now.”
“They held each other’s hands and cried for a long time as they were reunited,” AFP quoted Kuddus’s nephew Shafiqul Islam.
“Hundreds of villagers who came to see this remarkable scene also have tears in their eyes.”
