I'm truly and deeply sorry about the loss of your mother, I just recently started watching your content and I do want to let you know that your viewers are here for you! You deserve each and everyone of your subscribers and I'm sure your mom would be really proud of you and the kind of person you have grown up to be! Take care Tiezheng.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments, and for taking the time out of your day to write them. They have been very sweet for my dad and I to read. I can’t ask for a better viewership. Almost no one said anything negative, which is quite a surprise considering this is the internet.

Just a quick update, 24 hours after this video went live we did receive a potion of our refund. Coincidence? Probably not. But more than that I’m glad the airline is paying attention and hopefully doing something about the things I mentioned.

​I know what it's like to have a mother who had cancer. These people are fragile, yet they continue to fight and endure. They should be treated with utmost respect. I'm sorry for your loss, ahia Tiezheng.

[yomoz]

So sorry for your loss, I’m a Saudi and I totally agree the airline and even airports services should be much better in many aspects.
May your mom Rest In Peace brother

[pepehands]

I recently lost my mother 2 weeks ago and she was very ill and was due to get on a flight to go back to her motherland but never made it to the flight, hearing your moms story broke my heart. Thanks for sharing.

[neenyoww]

This made me tear up. I'm sorry to hear about your, mom. Thank you for still sharing this personal experience with us. Your family deserved so much better and no one should be treated this way. I pray that this serves a wake up call for the entire airline industry to step up and improve from this experience.

[alprence]

I’m really sorry for your loss, and as a Saudi citizen I’m deeply sorry for what your mom gone through in my country national airline, and I want you to understand that I’m pissed as hell of their incompetence and I add my voice to yours and hope that Saudi Airlines level up their service in every way possible.

[slimfast]

The last part broke my heart. Did not expect this level of emotion in an aviation video. You have me crying. Deepest condolences for your loss and thank you for sharing such honest, high quality content. This is when I subscribed to your channel and I encourage everyone to do so 🙌🏾

[tigerfish]

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. The airline's treatment of her when she was most vulnerable was abhorrent. Thank you for sharing that experience with your audience so others in a similar situation may be aware. Sending love and aloha to you and your family!

[lukamunjin]

I’m deeply sorry for your loss I know how it feels to have someone die from cancer and also how sometimes airlines treat you bad, so I send all my love to you and your family. Also thank you very much because you always inform us with how airlines work all around the world and also for taking the time to do soo. All my love, Tiezheng

I was a ground staff for Cathay Pacific. We were taught to handle passengers with utmost care and more importantly, go the extra mile for them. The time they travel with us bears great significance to them. It may be the time that they move to a new country and start a new life, or it may be the time they carry the ashes of their loved ones. Ground service is just as important as those on air. So sorry for your mother and I can feel how heartbroken and frustrated you must be. Hopefully they see this and improve!

[pranjalpande]

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s experience, it’s always sad and infuriating when airlines fail to provide the basics for those who need it the most. My sincerest condolences and I hope you feel better as time passes.

[maryhulett]

It's wonderful to see you back again and uploading your travels. However I think we can all understand now why we haven't heard from you in a while.It's a unbearable loss but even more so when we are so profoundly let down by a service that should be delivering passenger care so much better.
May they hang their heads In shame and apologise unreservedly for treating your dear mum in an appalling manner.
You have done the right thing in addressing this in a public format and outing them.
Take good care of yourself x

[janetgray]

My heart breaks for you . You are such a good man. Bless you.
I also have cancer, breast cancer. May God keep you safe.

[aislingcrotty]

My sincerest condolence Tiezheng. I cannot imagine what you may being going through. I am sure that this video was not easy to film either, but I admire you all the more for it. Take it easy on yourself :)

[indyracingnut]

Having lost both of my parents one year ago today, I understand how you are feeling. Keep your chin up, T. I'm positive your Mom is so proud of you & what you've accomplished so far.

[Ammar]

Sorry for your loss. I wrote a comment before finishing the video about how I was happy you're back. Just finished the video, and understand why you may be taking time for yourself and your family. Take the time you need, it's hard. My mom has lung cancer with only a few more months to live. I'm truly sorry for your loss. We'll be here if you need anything. Im based in Ottawa, if you ever need anything.

[jenniferlynn]

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. 🌷I recall one of your great motivations for creating these videos was by way of entertaining your parents and sharing your experiences with them, and it pains me to know part of the joy in being a YouTube creator has likely been diminished. You spoke eloquently on your experiences in this video, while advocating for others - a great testament to how you were raised (and itself a compliment to your parents). Also, you did a beautiful job memorializing your mom and your home country, and I believe you performed a great public service. All the best for 2022.

You’ve got to be the only YouTuber in this content category offering real world justification why the VPN sponsorship you’re positioning is relevant to viewers. Thank you.

[phoenixofdanile]

My deepest sympathies Tiezheng. Thank you for the amazing work you do. I am sure that your mom is super proud of you. My heart goes out to you for your loss. If SAUDIA has watched this, step up your game! Do not let such a heartbreaking thing happen to anyone, you have the potential to be much better!
