There is one incident in my life that makes me want to say thank you to the person involved.
My story happened in June, 1975. It began when my family was finally notified that we had successfully met all the requirements to emigrate (移民) to Canada.
We immediately set about selling our household goods to have enough money to start our life in a new country.
However, our government only allowed us to use a small portion of the money to pay for the flight tickets. The rest was required to be sent directly to a bank account in Canada. The only cash we were allowed to take along with us was $16.
We started our journey. It was the first time my children and I had left our home country, and the first time we had travelled by plane. We were filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Everything was new to us, especially the concept of in-flight entertainment. In our home country, we did not yet have access to televisions, so the thought of watching movies during the flight was thrilling.
However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment when we realized that headphones were not provided for free. The stewardess informed us that headphones cost $1 for economy class passengers. My children looked at me with longing eyes, asking if they could have a dollar for a set of headphones which they intended to share. Deep down, I knew that we couldn’t afford to spend any of our limited cash on headphones, not even a single set.
Unwillingly, I explained the situation to my children, preparing for their disappointment and understanding that they would have to go without headphones for the duration of the flight. My children accepted it without complaint. But our disappointment must have shown clearly.
