出生时就被亲生父母卖掉的一位中国年轻男子,在上个月终于找到了自己的父母,但之后却又被他们给抛弃了。

and was subsequently orphaned at age four when his new parents were killed in an accident.

He said neither his birth father nor mother would accept him as they had divorced after selling him and each had a new family.

周一,刘学州在抖音上发布了一段母亲的电话录音,在录音中她说:“如果你的养父母没有买你,还有其他人家买你。”
She also blocked him on WeChat.
在微信上,刘学州的母亲还拉黑了他。
Liu's father was allegedly worried that his new wife would divorce him if he welcomed Liu into the family, the son said.

"I can't understand why you said I disturbed your life. It was you who made my entire life a mess," he wrote to his father on Douyin.
在抖音上,刘学州给自己的父亲写道,“我不明白你为什么说我扰乱了你的生活。明明是你把我的整个生活搞得一团糟。”
Liu said his parents had him before getting married, and sold him soon after birth for money so his father could pay the bride price to his mother's family.
刘学州透露,他父母在结婚前就有了他,并在他出生后不久就把他卖了,这样他的父亲才有交给母亲家人的彩礼。

刘学州所在乡镇的民政局副局长表示,
said that the local government would continue providing the subsidy despite his technically not being an orphan anymore.
尽管严格来说他不再是孤儿,但当地政府将继续提供补贴。
