He just found out that the people he thought were his parents...

This one's a doozy. This guy, Lee Kwok-yin, is 31 years old. Thirty-one years. He just found out that the people he thought were his parents, the people who raised him, changed his diapers, packed his lunches… they're not related to him at all. Not a drop of blood.

Can you imagine that? Thirty-one years of believing one thing, and then… BAM! Your whole life is turned upside down.

Apparently, his sister, who's studying to be a nurse, noticed that his blood type didn't match his mother's. You know, the kind of thing that usually leads to a family squabble. But they took a DNA test, and it came back… well, it came back with a "99.99 percent no blood relation." Can you believe that? 99.99 percent. As if there's even a tiny chance they might be related!

So, what happened? The hospital, the Tsan Yuk Hospital, thinks there was a mix-up. A baby swap. Back in 1976. They're now asking over a hundred guys born there around the same time, and over a hundred women who gave birth there, to take DNA tests. Good luck with that. Trying to round up people from 40+ years ago?

This Lee guy, he's taking it pretty well, all things considered. He says he's not going to change his life, he's not leaving his "parents." He even gave his mom a red envelope for Chinese New Year, with a message: "Once my mother, always my mother." That's nice. But still…

He wants to find his real parents. Of course he does. He wants to know who he is, where he comes from. And I don't blame him one bit. But you know, it's not going to be easy. And what happens when he finds them? Will they be happy to see him? Will they even want to know him?

The hospital officials are saying it's an "isolated incident." What else are they going to say? They're also saying they're keeping in touch with the guy, but it's "complicated." You bet it's complicated! They have to worry about legal stuff, patient rights, privacy. All the things that get in the way of doing what's right.

The food and health minister is saying they'll try to help him find his real parents. He admits that the records might not be enough. You think?

And of course, everyone's saying they'll follow "established legal procedures" if someone decides to sue. As if that's going to make everything okay. A lawsuit isn't going to give this guy back his identity.

You know, sometimes I think the more advanced we get, the more things can go wrong. Hospitals are supposed to be about caring for people, not mixing them up like they're bags of groceries. This poor guy. All I can say is, I hope he finds what he's looking for. And I hope the hospital learns a lesson from this. But I doubt it. Things just keep getting more complicated.
