| Wang Moheng |
After more than two weeks
of uncertainty, pain and fear, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak yesterday
confirmed what everyone already knew in their hearts: the missing Malaysia
Airlines flight MH370 had crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, killing all 239
people on board.
And while it is unclear
why the Boeing 777-200 crashed, we do know some of those passengers - including
23-month-old Wang Moheng - died tragically with their whole life still ahead of
them.
As the youngest person on
the flight and one of his first trips abroad - Moheng was taken to the tropics
of Malaysia by his parents and grandparents simply to escape the 'bad air in
Beijing', a friend said.
Following their relaxing
holiday, the family of five left Kuala Lumpur early Saturday for Beijing but
never arrived.
People from at least 13
countries were aboard the Boeing jet, with the 153 Chinese passengers by far
the most numerous. Of those from China, Moheng was the youngest.
His picture went viral on
social networking sites yesterday, circulating on Facebook and Twitter
thousands of times as people stopped to remember the faces behind the tragedy
of MH370.
