Detained by Chinese authorities for nearly 5 months, Kinmen resident surnamed
Hu has returned today.

KMT lawmaker Chen Yu-zhen accompanied Hu's wife and 8-year-old daughter to
Xia-men (廈門), Fujian (福建) Province, on a ferry boat via the three Mini
Links to bring him back.

He was out sport fishing with a friend and got lost near Chinese city of
Quan-zhou in March, after the February 14th speedboat incident that sent the
cross-strait relations to its lowest point in recent months.

His friend was soon released, but as Hu got detained on the ground that he
was a military personnel.

He says he was well taken care of in China, and his family also gave the
Fujian Coast Guard a banner expressing their deep gratitude for saving the
life of their loved one.

Chen also thanks those who have contributed to Hu's release and the end of
the February 14th incident on July 30th.
