Two 15-year-old girls from mainland China have been missing for 10 days since September 19. They were last seen in Guangxi’s Fangchenggang and Dongxing City, and one girl’s final social media location was in Vietnam, where she ominously posted: “I will die here.” The post has left their parents frantic, and police have launched an investigation.
According to Red Star News, the missing teens—identified only by their surnames He and Cai—disappeared on September 19. Surveillance and witness accounts placed them in Fangchenggang and later Dongxing City on September 23. Cai’s last post on her WeChat Moments showed a location in Vietnam and the worrying message.
The girls’ fathers said both families live in rural areas and that the teens were classmates. He had already dropped out of school and had been working in Guangzhou’s Tianhe District after the Lunar New Year, rarely contacting her family. Cai later joined her there to work. “We thought the two girls would look out for each other and be safer together. We never expected they would be deceived like this,” He’s father said, adding that teenagers in their rebellious phase are hard to control.
Cai’s father noted that his daughter had blocked family members from her social media, so they could not see her posts. A friend who noticed the troubling update alerted the parents, who then discovered both girls were unreachable.
Police tracking showed the teens boarded a car with Guangzhou license plates at Fangchenggang North Station, headed toward Dongxing near the China–Vietnam border. The vehicle circled within Dongxing City before vanishing from surveillance. The families have filed missing persons reports with police in Hunan’s Zhuzhou You County and with authorities in Guangxi, including Dongxing City.
The Dongxing Border Police Station confirmed on September 27 it had received the reports. An officer told reporters that inquiries should be directed to the Dongxing Public Security Bureau’s publicity department.
