在澳洲火车站遭遗弃的新西兰“小南瓜”薛千寻，9月25日终于与外婆团聚了。
薛千寻外婆、53岁的刘晓萍在9月23日拿到新西兰签证之后，随即登机前往新西兰奥克兰，当地官员立刻安排刘晓萍探望在9月24日刚从澳大利亚返回新西兰的三岁女童薛千寻。
9月22日的网路视讯中，薛千寻与外婆终于在分别七个月后见到彼此，虽然只有短短10分钟，薛千寻仍显得相当开心。
薛千寻在回到新西兰后，由Victoria的社工人员暂时照顾。“孩童，青年与家庭”地区主任希尼（Marion Heeney）表示，薛千寻虽然被妥善安置，但她非常希望见到外婆。
希尼称，当刘晓萍与小千寻在奥克兰会了面，两人都十分激动与开心。原本几次显得难过的薛千寻，一见到外婆后立刻变成一个“阳光、开心的小女孩”。
刘晓萍女士在“致新西兰人民的公开信”中，她感谢所有照顾她孙女“寻寻”的人员，并表示衷心希望小千寻能跟着她一同回到中国。
“安安是我唯一的女儿，而寻寻是我唯一的孙女，血浓于水。”刘晓萍在信里说道。“因此，我将把我的女儿带回家，让她的灵魂安详地长眠在她中国的家乡。我将收养我可爱的小孙女。”
刘女士在信中也表达了对失去爱女的悲痛之情，"几年前，安安怀着追求知识，完善自我的愿望来到新西兰，现在她壮志未酬却惨遭不幸，如花生命已永远凋谢。"
希尼表示，让刘晓萍来照顾薛千寻是所有人乐见的事。“尽管千寻被关爱围绕着，但过去九天来每个人对她来说仍是陌生的。”希尼指出，千寻跟奶奶在一起，同样得到许多关怀与爱。
小千寻的同父异母姐姐Grace Xue已经决定放弃申请"小南瓜"抚养权。这样就为小千寻的外婆刘晓萍获得抚养权铺平了道路。
据纽西兰先驱报报道，早些时候，Grace Xue曾表示要收养小千寻，因而小千寻的命运变得十分复杂。现在看来，小千寻可能将来会在中国生活。
据律师Raymond Huo透露，Grace是在接受位于奥克兰的一家中文电台采访时公布这个决定的。
Huo律师说，小千寻的外婆一定很高兴听到这个消息。
现在，小千寻的命运将由法庭来决定。
薛千寻的父亲薛乃印因弃女又涉嫌杀妻，目前已遭新西兰与美国警方通缉。薛乃印妻子刘安安的尸体在薛乃印的车中被发现。
纽西兰首位华裔国会议员黄徐毓芳9月24日时发出一封公开信，希望美国华社共同协助寻找薛乃印。
信中写道：“不幸中之大幸是小千寻在过去三年中，每年都去中国探访外公外婆，感情融洽；外公外婆一听到消息立刻想到要照顾小千寻。”
“纽西兰华社一共有十四万人，无不为此震撼，感伤，我们亦需要答案。需要找到薛乃印来问话，有一个交代。我呼吁在美的华人帮忙解决我们的悬案，让这三岁无母的小千寻的悲剧有一个句号，让她重新开始。”
“我亦向薛乃印呼吁他自首，以武为本的人，讲究顶天立地，一人做事一人当，站出来，向小千寻交代，向刘安安的父母交代，向纽西兰华社交代。在过去几年间奥克兰华社接受内劲道功夫会及唐人街杂志的慷慨之情应有回应。”
警方希望民众共同协寻薛乃印。
根据美国发联邦法警办公室（U.S. Marshall's Of-fice）发出的通缉消息，薛乃印生于1954年4月24日，身高5呎7吋，体重二百磅，发色黑色，身带武器，为危险人物。
若任何人有薛乃印的线索，有以下几种通报方式。美国警方报案电话：（800）336-0102。上网提供消息http://www.police.govt.nz/operation/patch/。纽西兰警方热线（0800）272-824。或黄徐毓芳国会议员中文线+64-9-3771313，电子邮件pansywongmp@xtra.co.nz。

这个Grace Xue又出尔反尔,乘人家开追悼会之时召开记者招待会,向英文媒体宣布自己不会放弃争夺小千寻,并宣布成立基金会,叫大家赶快捐钱.
她到现在还没有看到过小千寻.看上去她好象不急着和妹妹见面,但很急着上电视,急着办基金.
小千寻的外婆倒是很低调的.长得真年轻,也很漂亮,难怪刘安安也挺漂亮的 - Re: 鍗庡蹇�� : 琚埗浜查仐寮冪殑鏂拌タ鍏板コ瀛╄枦鍗冨涓庡濠嗗洟鑱�posted on 09/28/2007

Chinese community attacks Pumpkin's sister's motives
5:00AM Saturday September 29, 2007
By Elizabeth Binning
Little Pumpkin's half-sister Grace Xue has suffered a vicious backlash from Chinese community members who are accusing her of trying to cash in on her sibling's tragic plight.
Qian Xun Xue has yet to meet her half-sister but that hasn't stopped Ms Xue from establishing the "Little Pumpkin Trust" to ensure the 3-year-old becomes financially secure.
Ms Xue's comments last week that she might consider adopting Qian Xun and the announcement of the trust have prompted a fierce reaction from many Chinese, leaving the mother of one surprised and saddened.
Dozens of people have posted messages on internet chat sites that imply Ms Xue is only out to profit from Qian Xun and that she should back off and let the child be adopted by her grandmother, who has flown to New Zealand from China.
Some people have gone so far as to wish the 27-year-old Auckland woman dead, while others have placed a curse on her young son.
Ms Xue's spokesman, Tony Edmonds, said she was aware of the comments being made about her and had taken legal advice.
"It's hurtful and the early legal advice is that it's defamatory."
Edmonds said many of the defamatory allegations being posted about Ms Xue seemed to be the result of cultural differences.
"She's philosophical more than upset, perhaps a little sad about it.
"Grace's advice to me is 'we are dealing with real cultural differences and that's what's behind it all'."
Mr Edmonds rebutted allegations that Ms Xue started the trust only to make money for herself.
It was set up so that could not happen, he said.
"She has consistently said she wants nothing from this other than to help her newly found sister. The financial administration of this now falls on six trustees. Grace is but one."
Meanwhile, a poll running on Skykiwi.com which asks readers who should take custody of Qian Xun strongly favours the little girl's grandmother Xiao Ping Liu over Ms Xue.
