His hand cuffed to his daughter's, Chen Yen got attention. He was taking her to a Chinese New Year celebration and was worried that she might be stolen from him. It's an understandable fear in light of this:
"An estimated 70,000 children are kidnapped in China every year as the country's tough one child policy has led to very few children being put up for adoption, in turn fueling a chilling black market in kidnapped children for couples unable to have their own."
Other speculation says that girls may be stolen to become brides, since there are 33 million more men in China than women.
