China twins, separated at 10 days, reunite at 17, become besties before discovering truth
Twin sisters in China who were adopted by separate families at just 10 days old have been miraculously bound together by fate, becoming best friends at 17 before realising they are sisters.
Zhang Guoxin and Hai Chao were given away by their parents, who could not afford to bring them up.
One of the conditions of the adoption was that the two families must be from the same city in northern China's Hebei province.
They had been living separately without knowing of each other's existence until they reached the age of 17.
The twin sisters look so alike that they can even fool teachers at their children's school parent meetings. Photo: handout
Hai heard from a classmate at school that a shop assistant at a local clothing store looked exactly like her, so she went to check.
