Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported Wang's story in 2015, which let more people know about his search.

CCTV hostess Ni Ping was moved by Wang's love for his daughter and was willing to donate one of her paintings, which has an estimated value of 200,000 yuan ($31,851) by art experts, to the person who helped the driver find his daughter.

And a CCTV program Waiting for Me, hosted by Ni, also helped Wang find his daughter. The program is the first aiming to help people find their missing relatives.

Wang's daughter Wang Qifeng, who is now named Kang Ying, saw Wang's news story on the internet and got in contact with him.

"She will come to Chengdu by plane from Jilin on Tuesday, and we will reunite. I would like to take her back to our hometown in Ziyang city to see our relatives," Wang said.
