Part 3/8:
As the movie progresses, snippets of Liu's personal life are revealed. Notably, he holds his breath for long durations as part of his daily routine—an exercise that perhaps foreshadows the depths of his endurance required later. We learn it is his daughter’s birthday, adding layers to Liu's commitment to return home safely. The camaraderie among the flight crew, particularly with fellow pilots and flight attendants, establishes a tight-knit family dynamic that strengthens their resolve as the crisis unfolds.
