Narrative article homework

Mai-Lin Xi sits in the lobby of a hotel in Beijing with her two year old daughter on her lap. She clings on to her and holds her tight. With red eyes and quivering voice she says, „It has been almost four weeks now and there still has been no sign of life. I miss him so much. My daughter keeps asking me about her daddy and I have no idea what to tell her.“ Mai-Lin talks about her husband Zuko who is one of the passengers of the flight MH 370. Like many others, Mai-Lin has been waiting in a hotel close to the airport ever since the plane went missing. The families of those missing try to support each other but the more time passes, the harder it becomes to hope for a happy ending. „We just want to know what happened. We want to put an end to this nightmare and return to our lives again“, mumbles an old lady next to Mai-Lin.
