3月10日傍晚時分，兩尊媽祖神像 important guests arrived at the Xiamen domestic airport for a special cultural journey. The Xiamen Airlines flight crew led by Li Xixi, a senior flight attendant, handled the delicate task of transporting the two grand deities through the airport concourse with extreme care. Guided by a team of 29 guards, the massive stone idols were eventually loaded onto the Xiamen Airlines MF841 flight bound for Hanoi, Vietnam, with the aim of transporting them to the new temple of Voung Thanh in Vietnam's central Gulf of Tonle, where they will be placed on display.

To ensure the safe and orderly movement of the idol ensemble, Xiamen Airlines had taken proactive measures long before the journey. Two weeks prior to departure, a專項協(xié)調(diào)會議 was held to review the entire protection process. Furthermore, close coordination was maintained with the project team to ensure seamless operations. On the morning of the 10th, as the morning light filtered through the airport's international terminal, the two idol ensembles were escorted through security checks by the dedicated guard team. Unlike ordinary passengers, the idols require manual screening, a process that demands meticulous attention. To streamline the procedure, Xiamen Airlines arranged special screening lanes and created dedicated boarding areas, establishing a priority boarding channel to eliminate any waiting time. This arrangement not only expedited the clearance process but also ensured that the idol team could board the plane without delay.

Upon takeoff, the idol ensemble was placed in the商務(wù)艙 upper deck, while the guard team settled into designated seats in the front rows. To maintain flight stability, Xiamen Airlines installed extended versions of the standard seat belts with double straps for added security. As the plane soared through the skies, the cultural protection mission of safeguarding these divine beings on their global journey began.

The媽祖, also known as 林默, is a revered figure in Chinese culture symbolizing the principles of "立德、行善、大愛". As a maritime deity, she embodies the virtues of Chinese tradition, serving as a bridge between generations and cultures across the ocean. From the era of the "Oriental Silk Road" where she guided商船 across the seas, to the modern Xiamen Airlines flights showcasing her cultural identity, her significance remains steadfast.

Xiamen Airlines has long been deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the媽祖. The airline has been a trailblazer and實踐者 in promoting motherland's優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化 for years. During the National People's Congress, where Mr. Zhao Dong, Xiamen Airlines' Party Secretary and President, once again emphasized the importance of promoting cultural traditions. The company's connection with the媽祖 dates back to 1997, when the金身 arrived in Taiwan on a Xiamen Airlines flight. Since then, the airline has consistently provided reliable protection for motherland's cultural heritage, earning widespread acclaim from both domestic and international audiences.

Xiamen Airlines has become a cultural bridge, connecting the East and West through its flights from Xiamen to Hanoi, via the Taiwan Strait and even farther afield. As the airline continues to expand its cultural initiatives, it will undoubtedly play a significant role in fostering cross-cultural understanding and emotional bonds. In the coming years, Xiamen Airlines plans to further promote媽祖 culture through themed flights and new travel routes, enhancing the sense of identity and belonging among overseas Chinese.

This cultural journey represents a unique blend of tradition and modernity, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the Chinese nation. As the company looks to the future, it remains committed to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese people.
