When the passenger refusedthe wife stretched out her legs and rested them on the armrests of her seat, then started scolding her in Cantonese and slapping her arm. “When she realized I couldn’t speak Cantonese, she started calling me ‘mainland Chinese girl’ in a derogatory tone,” she said.
Her husband, who was sitting directly behind her, “frantically pushed” the back of her seat, the released video shows. The woman then asked a flight attendant for help.who suggested she straighten her seat. “I was shocked because it was not time to eat, yet the flight attendant wanted me to compromise,” the woman said. “I refused the suggestion.” Several passengers who witnessed the incident criticized the Hong Kong couple’s behavior.
