幸福终点站 (The Terminal)

A good friend is worth her weight in gold. In the evening of Wednesday, September 14, 2016, right after the conclusion of the 42nd Chess Olympiad at Baku, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) was wandering alone in the middle of Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport, when suddenly and unexpectedly a young friend — who so much resembled Woman Grandmaster Altan-Ulzii Enkhtuul — came to her emotional rescue.
Two days later the following message of appreciation appeared on her 新浪微博 (Sina Wēibó) microblogging account:

【2016.09.14. To a dearest girl friend】When we were in Baku, we never chatted with each other, but then we met up again a day later in Moscow, and all because I missed my flight. There are surprises everywhere in life! I was alone and lost at Vnukovo International Airport in the night. How lucky I was to meet you 💝.
