An incident which saw two women lock a crying toddler in an aeroplane toilet has sparked an online debate in China on how to manage children in public spaces.
The incident went viral on the Chinese internet after one of the two women, Gou Tingting, posted a video of herself carrying the girl inside the cubicle.
In her post, she presented herself as trying to help others on board, but was swiftly met with backlash.
Lol, this is what I’m talking about.
No, they didn’t stay in their bubble because they were content, my grandma never had a passport, as she couldn’t have gotten one before she was like quite old and the wall fell, and she couldn’t afford to travel abroad even after that.
All I’m saying is that imagine growing up and instead of having the idea of just taking a flight as a life choice, think about flying as a thing that you might be able to afford one day, when you’ve “made it”.
Flying was made very cheap with tax free fuel and sweetheart deals to airline companies. So because of that the world has gotten smaller and flying is a part of that (in not talking holidays) but for distances over ~800km it is faster and usually competitive in price depending on the group size and if driving is an option.
Wages in my home country tends to be so low that a return plane ticket can be months of pay or more for some. I’m talking living your life in the same horizon poor.
