Want to take my mother for a walk
A couple of hikers from my hometown inspired me
At the town of Hechen in Chongqing, which is still more than 50 kilometers away from home, the couple isolated themselves for 14 days. days, after confirming that there is no physical harm, today (January 11), 54 Yang Houwan and his wife Yan Xuechui, the same age, continue to pull on the homemade trolley, and slowly set off in the direction of home. If there is no accident, after three days of hiking, they will arrive at their hometown in Ganquan Village, Manyue Town, Kaizhou District, Chongqing.
This is the first time they returned home after more than 80 days away from home, pulling the car sitting in their mother Liu Shizhi, who is over 80 years old.
This is the 84-year-old Liu Shizhi's first time out of the house, a lifetime of living in the mountains, she said her son and daughter-in-law took her on a long-distance trip, will always reveal all the dentures, can not stop smiling happily, "happy, too happy."
Yang Houwan said, "Mother is a person who loves to walk around and play." But more than a decade ago, after the death of his father, his mother has been depressed, in order to coax his mother to be happy, he promised to take his mother out for a walk. But Yang Houwan family is a native farmer, the family relies on him to work in the coal plant to earn money, the economy is not generous, there are a few children to support, so the plan has been put on hold.
Looking at his increasingly elderly mother, Yang Houwan felt that he could not wait any longer, and a few years ago, he saved money while providing for his family.
"At first ready to take the form of a bus." But last year, Yang Houwan learned of the story of a couple in his hometown from Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, hiking back to his hometown in Kaizhou District, he was y inspired, "two couples hiking is quite good, but there is a point, if you take your mom and dad together would be perfect." So he started planning his hike with his mother.
At first, this plan was not known to his wife, Yan Xuechui, Yang Houwan thought of taking care of his mother's food and drink along the way, he was careful to ask his wife's opinion, "I didn't realize that she was very supportive of me, and said, 'I'll go with you then!
Departure Thickened stainless steel made of rickshaw Pulling his mother across three provinces to feel the scenery Supported by his wife, the family did not plant crops, and the children were in the city to go to school to take care of them. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and it was a long time coming. Last October, in taking his mother to Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, Yangjian town to visit relatives on the return trip, their hiking program has begun. Yang Houwan first in Jiangsu local thickened stainless steel made a length of about two meters, about one meter wide human pull cart, this has a sedan chair roof pull cart is his personal design, the car has everything. "Mother liked it", and figuratively called it "sedan". In order to keep his mother warm, he was equipped with an inflatable mattress and three quilts in the car, under the car, but also special space to put gas canisters, gas stoves, rice, bowls, etc., "in case in front of the village after the store in the place where the mother starved." Plus three people's luggage, this originally more than 200 pounds of pulling the car, hard to increase the weight to more than 500 pounds. Traveling during the day, the night will find a hotel to stay, the daily trip is planned remotely by the family. Along the way, the mother Liu Shizhi will be sitting peacefully in the car, son and daughter-in-law in front of the pull, encountered the beauty of the stop, happened to like the city, they will also stay to play a few more days. They set off from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, on October 19, 2020, along the 318 National Highway all the way to the west, across Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei Province, hiking more than 1,800 kilometers, with this manpower "limousine" pulling his mother from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, to Xuancheng, Anhui Province, over Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui Province, the Dabie Mountains, the Yinshan Mountains in Hubei Province, and finally reached Huanggang, Hubei Province. The first is the "Dabie Mountain", which is the largest mountain in Hubei, and the second is the "Dabie Mountain", which is the largest mountain in Hubei, and the third is the "Dabie Mountain", which is the largest mountain in Hubei. Yang Houwan said, he was originally prepared to use the entire form of hiking, but to Yichang when the snow closed the mountains, taking into account the safety of the ship from Yichang to Chongqing Wanzhou. He roughly calculated that in a few months of travel, they stayed in more than 60 hotels, walked through the countryside, streets more than two hundred, "so that my mother felt the scenery she did not feel before more than 80 years old, we also followed the mother's playge (Sichuan: enjoyment of blessings), a lot of unseen, have seen." Downhill without brakes had encountered a thrill All the way encountered a variety of goodwill to provide help Yang Houwan said that this way is not easy, such as the beginning of his The first time I saw the car, I was able to get it to work, and I was able to get it to work. Half a month later he began to learn to open the satellite cloud map combined with navigation voice broadcast to recognize the road. In the Dabie Mountains, the slope is steep and the road is far away, he and his wife spent four or five days to turn the mountain over, but the pulling car has no brakes, it is easy to go up the mountain, difficult to go down the mountain. Downhill all rely on manpower to stabilize, there are a lot of thrilling moments, "but the good thing is that now we have come over, see the mother's smile, feel that all these are worth ." Yang Houwan is also very grateful to his wife, all the way over the mountains, take the country roads, village roads, some places in the terrain is dangerous, "without my wife, I simply can not pull a person."
