I am wondering what the "adoptive" parents would explain why didn't they (or if they did) report to the authority at the time when they "found" Kang Ying 24 years ago. Nobody should take home an unaccompanied child without reporting to the police. It would be equivalent to kidnapping if they did not. I am almost certain that Kang Ying would "pardon" her adoptive parents if they didn't do the right thing 24 years ago. But law should not have been broken no matter what, especially such type, a law suite should be put forward if necessary, only to be pardoned by Kang Ying's plea in the court. Taking away a child from parents is one of the worst acts of all kinds.

She looks exactly like my cousin...lol.
I remember reading a few reports on how a large number of Chinese have just a few common ancestors a few thousand years ago.
40% of Han have a common ancestor 5000 years ago, though the sample size is still small. Looking forward to new reports as more data is collected.
"But it also points to a more surprising event in China some 5000 years ago in which three populations expanded quickly within 500 years of each other. Each of these populations can be traced to a single man. And yet they now account for more than 40% of today’s Han Chinese population—that’s 300 million living males."
It wouldn't surprise me if many were distantly related, supporting the Shennong (God farmer), Huangdi (Yellow Emperor), Yandi (Flame Emperor) ancestor mythology. The Han however isn't that genetically homogeneous due to intermixing over the years with different tribes and ethnic groups but the relation to each other is still strong. The mythologies revolve around agriculture and taming the rivers, which could explain the population explosion during that time. In other studies 60% of Chinese descended from 5 common ancestors, going back 6000 years.
Specific Y-chromosome haplotypes associated with Han Chinese have been correlated with certain surnames whose origins are linked with the legendary ancestor mythology you mentioned.
