Daughter hauls mother, 91, on epic journey that takes them to 11 provinces

A woman dragged her 91-year-old mother in a handcart for 12,000 km to fulfill a dream of seeing other parts of the country away from their hometown.

Retired teacher Xie Shuhua, 64, wore out 16 pairs of shoes as she hauled the cart through more than 1,000 counties in 11 provinces, giving her mother the first experience of traveling that she had craved.
