HAVING lived in Shanghai Children’s Hospital for two and a half years, a little girl known as Alimu has been reunited with her mother and other relatives, after they traveled from Aksu Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Though the results of a maternity test will take 15 working days, it is almost certain that the 19-year-old woman is the girl’s mother, said the hospital.

The family returned to Xinjiang yesterday morning and said they will come back to Shanghai to take the girl home when the test results come out.
