Yesterday, from Kunming to Guangzhou, the Boeing 737 passenger plane carrying 123 passengers and 9 crew members suddenly fell from an altitude of 8869 meters.
There were 132 people on board, and their fate was uncertain.
132 people, not a simple number, behind it are 132 homes.
Whose parents are they? Whose children? Whose wife is it? Whose husband?
Tonight, I want to tell you their story.
There was a little girl on the plane, named Jiajia (pseudonym), who laughed like Song Yuqi.
Next week, she will turn 16. Jiajia plans to go to high school in the UK in the second half of the year. Her parents took nearly two weeks off from school for her, and on this day she flew back to Guangzhou to apply for a visa and related materials.
Before taking off, she made an appointment with her girlfriend on WeChat and got together after returning to Guangzhou.
What Jiajia didn't know was that her little sisters, in order to celebrate her birthday, had already planned, and on the 22nd, that is, tonight, booked a private room, prepared a good decoration, and gave her a surprise.
But now, everything is ready, just this little birthday star, and he has not yet attended.
There is a Mr. Zhong who has not seen his fiancée for 4 months because of the epidemic.
Mr. Zhong said: "She and I are in a long-distance relationship, we have been in love for 5 years, and the relationship is very good. We hadn't seen each other for 4 months, and we missed each other so much that she booked a flight on March 22 to fly in to meet me. ”
The fiancée was originally scheduled to have today's ticket, in order to see Mr. Zhong a day earlier, she specially changed it to yesterday's plane and finally boarded the Mu5735 of China Eastern Airlines.
But who would have thought that they had survived more than 1,800 days and nights, and had been lucky enough to escape the epidemic, but on the day they were about to meet, because of the air crash, life and death were uncertain.
The meeting between the two is also far away from now on.

Liu Zhihong is a frequent flyer on this flight.
The day before boarding the plane, he had just received his wedding photos.
2022 is the beginning of his new life. This day was only another brief, ordinary separation for him and his new wife.
Liu Zhihong works for an Internet company in Guangzhou, while his wife lives in Kunming. He once promised his wife, "When you think of me, you will fly to see you immediately" and "now try to go home 3 times a month, and then eliminate the feeling of being away from home.".
In order to maintain the relationship, in 2021, he took the most plane in his life. Last year, he and his girlfriend repaired the right results, got a marriage license, and renovated a new house. They're about to have a wedding, and on the invitation, they plan to print a QR code with their love story.
Zhihong once said that companionship is the most essential thing in a relationship. Whether you are in love, married, or old, the most important thing in a relationship is companionship.
But this time, Zhihong's departure, I don't know how long it will take to accompany the lover who is thinking about twilight.
Fang Fang, a girl born in 1992, also took this flight. At the age of 30, she is already the financial director of a public company. This time she went to Kunming to complete the company's annual audit.
Fang Fang graduated from Henan University of Economics and Law and later became a certified public accountant, and in the past seven years, she has moved from Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
In January, she just took up her new role as Chief Financial Officer. Colleagues said she was a girl who could fight very well.
A girl who fights for her dreams, everyone is waiting for you to come back.
Xu Zeqiang is a training teacher who was sent to Kunming by the company on a business trip. Yesterday, he could finally go home.
When the plane started taxiing, he seemed to realize that the flight was something special, and in a group of 13 colleagues, he said "it feels so strong" and then posted a video of the plane taxiing.
In the group, no one replied to him. Until 4:09 p.m., suddenly someone saw the news, and everyone frantically sent him WeChat and called, but his WeChat was not online again, and the phone was not answered.
Xu Zeqiang is from Lufeng City, Guangdong Province, and is a father of three children. If the flight landed smoothly, he would change to another high-speed train in Guangzhou and return to his home in Lu Feng.
If MU5735 is not unexpected, at this time, he should accompany the child and his lover and enjoy the joy of the world.
On flight MU5735, six passengers went to Guangzhou together to attend a memorial service for relatives and friends.
Among the 6 passengers, there were 4 women in their 40s, a man in his 30s, and a teenager in his 10s...
Ms. Shi's own sister is one of the 6 people. Ms. Shi originally planned to take the MU5735 with everyone, but finally arrived in Guangzhou early due to the change.
When she heard the news of the plane accident, she cried.

Xiang Siqi is the purser of MU5735, and this year marks her eighth year at China Eastern.
In a work photo, she is wrapped around a blue and red silk scarf with flowers, and a pearl earring is on her earlobe.
Bright red lips are slightly open, and the eyes are soft and firm, making people feel close and trusted.
Xiang Siqi's colleague Zhang Junwen may be the youngest member of the crew.
He graduated from college in 2020 and joined his classmates in the airline and became a newcomer to the workplace.
One of his college classmates, who now works at China Southern Airlines, wrote on Weibo that he was a tall, tall boy in a white sweatshirt and Air Force No. 1 sneakers.

In the first class of the MU5735, there is a flight attendant who has been flying for 10 years, and she is 34 years old.
Before taking off, she also talked to her husband, Mr. Rong, on the phone and told him: "I'm going to fly." But in the blink of an eye, the husband received the news of the plane crash.
The grief is not enough to describe Mr. Rong's mood.
He said: "She has been flying for ten years, and every time she lands safely. ”
So this time, he was willing to believe in miracles too.
Someone asked: What is death?
Answer: All things are eternal, and Qing is not there.
I didn't fly a lot, and the only time I encountered a bump in the air flow made me short of breath and nervous to the point of clenching my fists.
I can't imagine what would have happened if this had happened to myself or a loved one. Really, I can't even think about it.
It is even more unimaginable that at that moment yesterday afternoon, they fell almost in a straight line from an altitude of 8 kilometers, and what kind of panic and despair did they experience on the plane at that time?
They were just on a very ordinary day, on a very ordinary flight, and they might still be thinking about getting off the plane, reuniting with their loved ones and seeing colleagues, but they didn't think that a parting might be forever.
The saddest departure must have been an accident without warning.
Those things that I want to do but haven't had time to do, those things that I want to say but haven't said yet, and those who want to see but haven't yet seen them, I haven't had time to say goodbye.
Life is impermanent, tomorrow and accident, never know which one comes first.
The real parting, no peach blossom pond water, no Long Pavilion Ancient Road, but on the same sunny morning, someone stayed yesterday.
I thought that some people could be seen by plane, but this time, they may only meet in dreams.
Today, I learned how precious the phrase "land on the ground to send me a message" is.
It represents peace, it means that someone is always thinking about you.
Seeing more and more of the impermanence of the world, I feel more and more that every minute and every second of the current peaceful life is luck and blessing;
The more I feel that between heaven and earth, if the white colt crosses the gap, suddenly, cherishing the present is the greatest meaning of life.
Time is a gentle hand hidden in the darkness, and in your trance, the child grows up, the parents grow old, the relatives leave, and the things move away.
So, if you have time, please accompany your children, watch them grow up a little bit, and experience the joy of growing up with them;
If you have time, please spend time with your parents, for them, the biggest gift is not how much money they give, but you have time, accompany them, and chat about home;
Please also cherish your lover, take good care of your body, and be with the person you love, peace is a blessing...
Life comes and goes, and the days don't come and go.
So, cherish the happiness of the moment.
Don't shut up when you can say love.
Don't stubbornly turn your back when you can still hug.
Finally, the 132 people who prayed for the disappearance to return to the arms of their loved ones.
May it all be just a nightmare.
