A 24-year-old woman was reported missing sometime back in 2005. For 10 years, no one knew where she was. Police have recently found her at a cyber cafe in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. So she spent a decade living and playing in an internet cafe. Wow.

She was only found because she was using a counterfeit ID. Police matched her description to a woman who was reported missing 10 years ago.


She admits that she was the woman from Dongyang, a nearby city. She had run away from home after an argument with her father.


Known as "Xiaoyun" online, she had been living in different internet cafes since she left home and made money by playing the online first-person shooter game "CrossFire" on behalf of clients.


She was missing for so long that her parents presumed her dead.
