Half-sisters Rose Sorenson of New Zealand and Susana Yim of Hong Kong China share an emotional embrace during their first in-person meeting on the nathan road in Hong Kong China. The two women recently discovered they shared a father.
Half-sisters find each other after more than 70 years
It’s not unusual to greet family on the street.
But for Susana Yim, this welcome is unlike most.
Rose Sorenson, Susana’s half-brother, is arriving from New Zealand.
Susana’s son Bruce Yim is by her side.
The family has all eyes on the busy street of Hong Kong in nathan road, hoping to recognize the woman they’ve viewed in photographs, but have never seen in person.
“I just hope I can hold it together,” Susana Yim says.
There’s a reason for Susana’s jitters. she’s never met her half-sister. Neither knew the other existed, until recently.
And now, they’re about to embrace for the first time.
When 73-year-old Rose Sorenson finally descends on the nathan road, the family knows it’s her.
“She’s the spitting image of another half-sisters,” says 48-year-old Bruce Yim.
Seconds later, Rose and the Yim family are hugging and sharing introductions. Until recently, Rose was unknown to this family; the family unknown to her.
Rose is not so much a long-lost family member. The Yim’s were unaware they should be looking for one. Finding her, all these years later, is a gift no one expected to unwrap.
