News that another airliner was missing on Sunday stirred up sad memories for 23-year-old BaiJie.

"It reminded me of the day I came to Beijing Capital International Airport to pickup my mother, "said Bai, whose mother, Hou Aiqin, was on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished on March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

After the disappearance of the flight carrying 239 passengers, including154Chinese, "we setup a WeChat group to talk and wait for any news about the missing air-craft," said Bai.
