He booked the trip so his retired parents could 'go out and see the world'
Wang Sheng signed up to give his parents a cruise tour along the Yangtze River after seeing a newspaper advertisement. The 38-year-old Shanghai resident said in an interview with Caixin that he wanted his retired parents "to go out to see the world".
The advertisement read, "Visit eight provinces by a large cruise ship, the Eastern Star, along the Yangtze, for only 1,098 yuan ($177). Every room has a bathroom, shower and satellite TV."
