Woman risks life to see granddaughter

A grandmother, surnamed Xu, startled staff at a toll booth on April 3 when she arrived on foot at 1 pm and began looking inside every vehicle that drove by. She said she wanted to see her granddaughter, who was due to pass by at some point that afternoon. Xu had not seen her granddaughter for more than a year and missed her very much, she said. She was eventually persuaded to leave the area after staff helped her contact her daughter, who promised to visit Xu with the granddaughter the next day.
