The man has been missing Qinghai for nine months

LAST NOVEMBER, RED STAR NEWS REPORTED THAT “A MAN WAS FOUND IN A VEHICLE TWO MONTHS AFTER HIS LOSS IN QINGHAI” AND THAT MANY NETIZENS WERE CONCERNED AND SPECULATING ABOUT HIS WHEREABOUTS.

TODAY, MORE THAN NINE MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE MAN WAS SEPARATED. ON 2 JUNE, JOURNALISTS LEARNED FROM MR. CHUNG, THE BROTHER OF THE MISSING MAN, THAT HIS BROTHER HAD STILL NOT HEARD FROM HIM, BUT THAT HIS FAMILY HAD NOT GIVEN UP THEIR SEARCH AND WAS NOW AGAIN IN QINGHAI.

MR. CHUNG'S SOCIAL ACCOUNT RELEASED AN ABANDONED MINE NEAR THE SITE.

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY RED STAR NEWS, ON 27 AUGUST 2025, AT AROUND 10 A.M., A 36-YEAR-OLD GUANGXI MAN, ZHONG ZHONG, LEFT A WHITE MASS CAR AND LOST CONTACT WITH HER AFTER LEAVING HER HOTEL IN QINGALEMU CITY. ON 1 NOVEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR, AFTER FAMILY MEMBERS ISSUED INFORMATION ON TRACING AND CONTINUED SEARCH BY THE JOINT POLICE AND RESCUE FORCES, THEIR VEHICLE WAS FOUND IN AN ABANDONED JADE MINE AREA OF THE GALMU CITY TOWED THE TRENCH, BUT NO TRACE WAS FOUND AT THE SITE.

RESCUE PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE SEARCH AND RESCUE HAD PREVIOUSLY TOLD RED STAR JOURNALISTS THAT MOST OF THE CONTENTS OF THE VEHICLE WERE INTACT WHEN IT WAS FOUND AND THAT NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF FIGHTING HAD BEEN FOUND. THE CARLOG SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED AT THE ABANDONED SITE ON 27 AUGUST 2025, WHICH HAD SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY ACTIVATED ON 20 SEPTEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR, AND THAT A PICTURE OF A STRANGER USING A SINGLE-COVERED WINDSHIELD WAS TAKEN. IN ADDITION, ON TWO OCCASIONS, A CELL PHONE SIGNAL FROM ONE OF THE BELLS APPEARED IN AN AREA MORE THAN 10 KILOMETRES FROM THE POINT OF ABANDONMENT.

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS FOUND.

THE INCIDENT, WHICH WAS REPORTED BY RED STAR, ATTRACTED WIDESPREAD ATTENTION. TO DATE, HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO NEWS OF A CERTAIN PERSON BEING FOUND. IN RECENT DAYS, RED STAR JOURNALISTS HAVE NOTICED THAT MR. CHUNG ' S BROTHER ' S PERSONAL SOCIAL ACCOUNT IP IS LOCATED IN QINGHAI AND THAT HE INTERACTS WITH HIS NETIZENS ON A REGULAR LIVE BASIS.

MR. CHUNG BRIEFED THE PRESS THAT ON 22 MAY HE HAD TAKEN HIS FATHER FROM GUANGXI AND ARRIVED IN QINGLEMU ON THE EVENING OF 23 MAY, HOPING TO FIND NEW LEADS FOR HIS BROTHER.

IT'S A SEARCH FOR PEOPLE IN THE AREA.

IN ADDITION, JOURNALISTS LEARNED THAT, UPON THEIR ARRIVAL, MR. CHUNG AND OTHERS HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SEARCH FOR AND RESCUE OF THE QINGHAI SUB-CENTRE OF THE YUNNAN CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOR THE RESCUE OF THE BLUE SKY, LOCATED IN THE REGION OF CHUNG. ACCORDING TO MR. ZHANG, THE RELEVANT STAFF MEMBER OF THE CENTRE, SINCE THE FAMILY ' S ARRIVAL IN QINGHAI, THE RESCUE TEAM HAS COOPERATED IN THE CONDUCT OF FOUR SEARCH ROUNDS, WITH A CUMULATIVE INVESTMENT OF MORE THAN 30 PERSONS, TO CARRY OUT A SEARCH OF THE SURROUNDING ABANDONED MINES, MINES AND OTHER AREAS, CENTRED ON THE DISCOVERY OF TUGS OF VEHICLES, BUT NO EFFECTIVE LEADS HAVE BEEN FOUND.

THE SCENE FROM THE RESCUE TEAM'S SEARCH.

“THERE ARE NO NEW CLUES OF VALUE.” MR. ZHANG TOLD JOURNALISTS THAT THE SEARCH WAS MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT HAD ELAPSED SINCE THE INCIDENT AND THE LACK OF WITNESSES. THE RELIEF WORKERS HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED SOME FEEDBACK ON THE LEADS, BUT NO SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS WAS VERIFIED.

MR. ZHANG INDICATED THAT, AS THE AVAILABLE LEADS HAD BEEN LARGELY CLEARED, RELIEF WORKERS WERE TRYING TO OBTAIN NEW INFORMATION BY POSTING INFORMATION AND MOBILIZING THE HELP OF THE SURROUNDING POPULATION. NEXT, THEY WILL PLAN TO DISTRIBUTE TRACING INFORMATION TO NEIGHBOURING PASTORALISTS THROUGH THE LOCAL TOWNSHIPS, HOPING TO FIND WITNESSES OR INFORMANTS, “WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR THEM AS LONG AS THEIR FAMILIES NEED THEM”.
