Come back quickly: A Chinese woman’s love letters to husband on missing MH370

A Chinese woman who has been writing messages on social media to her husband, who was on board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, has drawn kind words from tens of thousands of internet users.

Words of sympathy and support have poured in for the Beijing woman, who calls herself Roaming Fish on Weibo.

Since the plane disappeared in March last year, the woman has written pages of posts addressed to her husband, expressing how much she misses his presence and how badly she wished for him to return.

One post, dated in May this year, read: “The roses downstairs are in full bloom, but you’ve missed two seasons. Will you still miss it? Do come back."

Another in January read: “It’s the first day of 2015 and I made a strawberry cake. Father Time, bring him back to me."

The woman updated her Weibo on Thursday, uploading what appeared to be an email from Malaysia Airlines informing her that debris from the missing aircraft had been found.

The email confirmed that a wing segment, or flaperon, found on the remote French Indian Ocean island of Reunion belonged to the missing MH370.

“For 515 days, I couldn’t eat or sleep and had to act normally outside … I pulled myself together to wait for you to come home, but what do I get? An email from Malaysia Airlines that the debris found is from MH370. Why? I don’t understand. Why?” her post read.

By Friday morning the post had garnered comments from more than 47,000 social media users, saying that the woman’s words had brought tears to their eyes and wishing her the best.

“Good girl, take good care of yourself, will you? Be strong, even though it’s difficult. Please be strong,” wrote one internet user.

Another wrote: “It’s so sad. Be strong and live well, for him.”

Others urged her to move on: “I have been watching your posts for a long while and I can’t help saying, don’t indulge yourself in the sadness … He may not be the one to be with you to the end, but there is so much more worth loving. It’s his expectation for you to be happy.”

MH370, a Boeing 777, disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, 153 of them Chinese nationals.
