Seeing the sea and beyond: What China taught me about progress

On the morning of May 7, I landed at Guangzhou Transit Airport. It was my first time travelling abroad. It was also my first time boarding such a large plane. Even though I was very excited, the four and a half hour flight from Nepal made me tired. Navigating the airport was challenging due to the language barrier and rainy weather.

Then there came a time to take a flight to Nanjing. Even after about 1 hour of boarding the plane, the plane didn’t take off. From here, my journey begins.
