(ECNS) -- A young mother has prepared an apology letter in cartoons for the trouble her 18-month-old daughter may cause to other air passengers during their flight to London for Spring Festival, China's Lunar New Year.

The woman, surnamed Fang, works for an IT company in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province and developed a hobby of drawing cartoons despite lacking any formal training, Hangzhou-based City Express reported.

Fang, her husband, daughter, and parents plan to visit London during the New Year holiday. She was worried that her daughter may cry loudly or make too much noise during the more than 10 hour flight.

She subsequently drew cartoons as apology and printed more than 30 copies, which she plans to give to fellow passengers.

The four-frame cartoon, with Chinese and English written from the daughter's perspective, includes a self-introduction to the family and asks for forgiveness for any noise. The girl's father is also pictured as bowing in apology.

The cartoons and two chocolates will be placed inside a red envelope that Fang decorated with a token symbolizing good luck.

In December 2014, three women aboard an Air China flight to Hong Kong got into a raucous fight over a crying baby. Chinese tourism administration authorities have urged tourists to practice good manners abroad.
