An elderly father who came from the countryside, membopong sekantung dried red sweet potatoes go look in the distance far is his lecture in Beijing, actions are for the plane had made a good-hearted stewardess be terenyuh. The stewardess was harunya sense to write in the diary and widely disseminated on the internet, "Diary Sang Stewardess" This quickly has made tens of thousands of Netter moved ...
I was a normal flight attendant from Eastern Airlines, for a long time I was not working, so have not found a big problem that could not be forgotten, every day passed with little things that is pouring water and serve tea. There is no enthusiasm in work, very bland. But as of today, June 7, I have found an event that changed my thinking on the job and outlook on life.
Today we did a flight from Shanghai to Beijing, then very many passengers, the aircraft unit stocked. Among the group of people who have a plane ride from the village elder uncle does not attract attention, he membopong a large burlap on his back, carrying the aroma typical of rural land.
At the time I am in front of the aircraft door to greet guests, the first thought that came up to me when it is at present society is very prosperous, even an old uncle from the village even have the money to go by plane, so splurge.
When the plane was flying from flat, we started pouring water, until it reaches the row seat to the 20's, saw the old uncle, he sat down with extreme caution, erect does not move at all, sack goninya also not placed in carrying luggage , behavior the old uncle's big burlap tote gleam like cantilever rack globes (globe), upright like a statue.
When asked like something to drink, he nervously shook his hand and said do not do it. While trying to keep karungnya assisted in luggage he also refused. We had to let him hold the sachet. A few seconds later it's time to share a meal, we get that he's still sitting up straight and not move at all, it seems very agitated, when given rice, he's still shaking his hands refuse to not do it.
Consequently head with friendly stewardess came up to ask if he was ill. With a soft voice he said he wanted to go to the toilet but do not know what can roam on the plane, he was afraid mutilate the goods are on board.
We told him no problem and asked a steward they delivered to the toilet. When adding water for the second time, we found himself being observed drinking water while other passengers continued to lick his own lips, so we thus pour a cup of hot tea and we put on his desk and asked him.
Who would have thought that we are making it very frightened and many times it is not necessary to say, we were said to drink if it is worn. Hearing so far he is doing the action even more surprising, he hastily took a handful of money from the back of her dress, all pecuniary's one cent coins, and disodorkan to us. We told him that this drink is free, he does not believe.He's all the way a few times it gets into the house to ask for water to drink but never given, but always full of hate expelled.
Finally we just found out it appears for saving money, the whole way through it as much as possible not force yourself aboard and walk to reach the nearest town with an airport, then he took a cab to the airport, not a lot of food for the money, then he can just ask for water from the depot to the depot along the way who dilewatinya. Too bad he often expelled go, people consider it beggars.
We advise him for a few days until finally he would trust us, sit, slowly drinking her tea. We ask if he is hungry, will eat rice, he still would have said no. She told me that he has two sons, both can be reliable and very useful, both received in college, the youngest now lectures in semester 6, while the eldest was working.
This time she was the youngest child peered Beijing is lecture. Because firstborn already working means inviting his parents to live with him in the city, but both parents are unfamiliar, they just settled a few days and then come back again to the village.
This time for his oldest son did not want his father hard up freight, then dibelikanlah specific tickets for his father and intends to accompany his father went along with the plane because his father was never on the planes before, it was so worried her father would not know the way.However, his father desperately do not want to go by plane because of suspected it was a spendthrift.
Finally, after the father can still bersikukuh advised to leave alone, do not want to waste his money to buy a piece of another ticket.
He membopong red sack of dried yam given the youngest child. When screening before boarding the plane, the task force said that karungnya too big, and asked that it be included luggage bag, but he furiously rejected, he said fear ketelanya destroyed, if not destroyed youngest child want to eat more. We told him that peace baggage if stored there, he stood vigilant in a long time, then just lay it carefully.
During the trip we were very diligent plane pour water for him, and he always politely say thank you. But he still bersikukuh not want to eat. Although we know the stomach is very hungry old uncle. Arrive by plane to land, he is very careful to ask us if we could give him a bag, which will be used to wrap the rice jatahnya to bring him go.
She said she had not been getting the food is so delicious, and he will bring the food to be given to the youngest child. We were all very surprised. For our rice we see every day, it appears so valuable for an old fart coming from the village.
He himself refused to eat, starve him, in order to disisakan for her. Therefore, the entire food waste terbagikan not we wrap everything for him that brought. Again, he refused a full panic, he said he would only take jatahnya alone, he would not take advantage of others. We again made overwhelmed by this old uncle.
Although it is not a big thing, but for me this is a very deep subject.
I was thinking that this incident has just finished up here, who knows when other guests are off the plane, leaving the old uncle alone, we helped bring sack goninya reach the exit, as we will help raise the burlap to the back , old uncle's sudden committing an act that will never forget my whole life: he knelt on the ground, and with tears tear he bowed down to us and said, "You all are really good people, our country the day can only eat rice once, for we do not have drinking water that is so sweet, have never seen such a good rice, today you not only do not hate and shun me, even with friendly treat me, so I do not know how to be grateful Thanks to you, I can only hope you good people will someday get a good return. "
While still kneeling, he said this, he cried, we all rush helped her to stand, while seemingly endless advising and delivering it to a guard on duty to assist, after that we just returned to the aircraft to continue our work.
Frankly it, I worked for 5 years, on the plane I have found a wide range of passengers, some are not civilized, some play time, though some do troublemakers without reason, but we never found the person who kneel to us, frankly we do not do something special to it, just pour water quite often to him, it made someone who was aged 70 years kneel to thank our withal see him shouldering a sack of dried red sweet potatoes, he himself rather not eat and starve themselves for the sake of bringing his share of rice in the aircraft, also unwilling to accept other people's rice ration that is not a possession, not greedy, I really feel a deep regret, next time I should be able to learn grateful, learn give back to others.
Is this old uncle who taught me, how I should live with welfare and honesty. ( The Epoch Times)
