The Boeing 747 rumbled along the tarmac on its way to Runway 24 and Lexi Zhang’s eyes watched the clouds gather over Schiphol Airport. Her mind was elsewhere – she couldn’t stop thinking about her father. She had always been close to him. He was the one who had made her laugh, and comforted her tears away. Memories of her childhood rose in her mind like blossoming orchids – the time they walked around the park; when he taught her to ride a bicycle; helping him in their tiny garden.

Could he really be dying? The sound of her mother’s voice told her it was true. She sounded scared, weak and alone.

As the plane roared up into the sky, she pulled the shutter a little to block the sun and cast two uncaring eyes across the Dutch landscape below. Clouds flashed past her window and the wing bent up and down as they ploughed through some turbulence. Glancing at her watch she sighed and closed her eyes. The flight from Amsterdam to Beijing was scheduled to take a little under ten hours.

She was certain it was going to feel a lot longer than that.
