A Chinese woman who went to great lengths to access her late brother’s blog has discovered his deep love for her 14 years after his death, moving many people online.
Wenwen, 24, from southwestern China’s Sichuan province, had a brother 14 years older than her and her twin sister.
In 2012, he died in a car crash with their father on their way to another city for work. He was only 24 years old.
After they died, Wenwen’s mother worked hard to support the girls’ studies. Both have become postgraduate students.

Deep down in Wenwen’s mind, she could not get over the deaths and wanted to know more about them.
She learned about her brother’s private social media account from a family member, but could not access it without the password. She also could not answer the security question – “how long is forever?”
Desperate, Wenwen posted the question online, offering 200 yuan (US$30) for an answer from online observers. They flooded into her post to give advice.
One suggested that since he died in 2012, and the blog had yet required a phone number to be linked to the account, she could simply ask the customer service for the password to link a phone number.

Wenwen did it and successfully accessed her brother’s blog.
To her surprise, she found a photo album called “my most favourite sisters”, in which her brother posted a photograph of the twins.
She also saw him documenting the words of their parents, his life plans. He said he wanted to get married next year.
Wenwen said memories of her brother flowed back when she saw his blog.
He had the twins’ back when other children bullied them. He went out to work at a young age, and rarely lived with them, but he would ask his friends to bring snacks to them when they passed by their village.
Before he embarked on his last journey, he gave a red string to each of them, saying it represented that they would be brothers and sisters forever. He also promised to bring them to the city one day, and treat them to delicious food.

She also saw the answer to his security question, which was “one day longer than the wait”.
Wenwen described the find as a gift from her brother across the 14 years since he died: “He is my best brother,” she said.
Her post received nearly 90,000 likes and over 6,000 comments.
Many said they were moved to tears by their bond.
“The brother’s most favourite sisters finally came to him 14 years later. Life continues as long as there are people remembering him,” one person said.
“Our generation’s digital legacy will be the most precious gifts for those who love us, and the place where the secret of immortality lies,” said another.
