Chinese actor Wang Xing stated on his Weibo account that he has returned to the embrace of his motherland, which makes him feel warm, secure, and free. While in a foreign country, it was the strength of his motherland that gave him courage and hope. 

He also expressed deep gratitude toward the Chinese government, the Chinese embassies in Thailand and Myanmar, the Chinese and Thai police, and various other law enforcement agencies. Wang had previously gone missing at the Thailand-Myanmar border and returned to Shanghai by plane on Friday evening.

"I want to say that I am just an ordinary person who can feel fear and anxiety… But just when I was about to give up completely, it was all of you who gave me hope, inspired me to believe a little more and hold on a little longer, and helped me return to my beloved country and the people who love me," Wang said, noting "I sincerely thank you!"

Wang also thanked his girlfriend, emphasizing that "love can fight everything."

Previously, a post on Sina Weibo on Sunday night said that Wang Xing, also known by his stage name Xing Xing, went missing at the Myanmar-Thailand border. This post sparked widespread discussion on Chinese social media platforms. It was released by a netizen named Jia Jia, who identified herself as Wang Xing's girlfriend. 

Thailand's Senior Inspector General Thatchai Pitaneelaboot stated on Thursday that the preliminary investigation confirmed that Chinese actor Wang Xing is a victim of human trafficking. 

 The Chinese Embassy in Thailand on Saturday reminded Chinese citizens visiting Thailand to stay vigilant against "high-paying job" scams and not to trust false promises such as "high-paying jobs," "free tickets, food, and accommodation" to prevent falling victim to scams. Chinese citizens in Thailand who experience harm to their personal safety or legal rights should promptly report it to the police. They may also ask friends or family in Thailand or others to report to the police on their behalf and contact the Chinese Embassy or consulates for assistance.

According to the China-Thailand mutual visa exemption agreement signed previously, activities such as working or studying in the host country that require prior approval must have the corresponding visa processed before entry. If entering under the visa exemption policy, please refrain from engaging in illegal employment or other activities that do not comply with the exemption regulations, the embassy said.
