A Chinese boy’s dreams of flight were fulfilled by a compassionate airline staff.
A boy identified as Li Haifeng by XinHua News, wished for “a pair of wings” to help him fly after an accident two years ago led to the amputation of both of his legs, China Daily reported. China Eastern Airlines fulfilled the 4-year-old’s wish last Wednesday, when it made the boy a “pilot” for the day. Li took a tour of a plane, and even had the opportunity to visit the cockpit, taking a seat alongside the pilot.

“Everyone at the hospital loves him,” a volunteer at the hospital where Li is being treated told Sina.com, according to The Straits Times. “His cheerfulness and optimism has infected people around him.”
