Yu Baobao, 37, said on his social media account, which has 326,000 followers, that he had severed ties with his birth family because of money.

Yu lived using the name Li Qiang for 34 years, until he found his birth family and discovered his real name in September last year.

He was abducted at his grandparents’ home in southwestern China’s Sichuan province at the age of two.
