A 13-year-old girl determined to be a flight attendant

By Sun Sep 15, 2013

A 13-year-old girl in China is dressing like a flight attendant and roaming around the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in the hope to live out her dream as a flight attendant, the South China Morning Post reported.

The girl, Luo Siqi, who has been at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport since July, first came to the attention of local police officers in August.

At the time, she was dressed in a China Southern Airlines’ flight attendant uniform and was carrying documents about the airline.

Police have escorted her to a Guangzhou children’s welfare centre on two occasions, but she insists on returning to the airport.

“I am truly in love with the sky. Let me go to the airport,” she was reported by the New Express Daily as telling police.

Appearing more mature than her years, the girl told the New Express Daily that she was abandoned by her biological parents shortly after she was born, and had since been adopted.

Luo left home for Guangzhou in July after deciding to “take a look at the big city,” according to the paper.

“I love blue sky, and have always dreamed of flying. By doing this, I am a bit closer to my dream,” she said when asked to explain her behaviour.
