Features: On April 15, 2002, in the vast history of Haomiao, this was an ordinary day. But for China International Airlines, it was one of the darkest and most heart-wrenching days in its history. As ordinary Chinese people, we still find it hard to believe in the crash of a China Airlines aircraft. Because China Airlines – this "phoenix" with the bright five-star red flag soaring across the blue sky – had a record of 47 years of safe flights across five continents, showcasing the pride of the Chinese people in the nearly 100-year history of global civil aviation. The harsh facts are merciless, yet we also deeply felt the inner quality of China Airlines. We look forward to and believe that, reborn from the ashes, this soaring phoenix will forever be a source of pride for China.
