Long-lost twin brothers who live in different cities in Sichuan province have found each other by accident after 41 years, West China Metropolitan News reported on Thursday.
Liu Yonggang, of Neijiang, was mistaken by Huang Yong as Huang's friend Zeng Yong, of Chengdu, as Liu entered a Neijiang hotpot restaurant on June 23.
With Huang's help, Zeng called Liu later that day and they discovered they are twins after sharing their lives during a one-hour talk.
Born in a seven-children family, Zeng and Liu were adopted by two different families due to the family's poverty.
Zeng, the elder brother, owns an inn in Chengdu, while Liu is a manager with a public transportation company.
