On June 11, Zhao and his mother set off from Shangqiu, Henan. During the journey, Zhao kept driving and sometimes pushed his mother’s wheelchair through the attractions (景点)along the way. He also shared videos of their trip online.
Zhao invited a friend to go with them and also hired (雇佣) a nursing worker to help during the journey, because his mother had difficulty speaking, eating and using the restroom. S

The 15,000-kilometer journey ended on July 12. Zhao said new life had begun and that they would like to visit Xinjiang again in his last video. Zhao’s mother liked his videos. “Most of the time she just wanted to make sure she looked pretty,” Zhao said and smiled.
