In the 10 years since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared, Jiang Hui, son of a passenger on the plane, has never stopped searching.

He has visited search teams in Australia, searched the beaches of Mauritius, Madagascar and Réunion to scour for debris and to implore governments not to give up.

During his many expeditions, he has had many brushes with death, including almost treading on a venomous snake and being thrown off a boat during a storm.

His mother, Jiang Cuiyun, was coming back from holiday when the plane went missing on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, leaving behind the greatest aviation mystery in history.
