Actually, this is not Grandma Xu's first long-distance trip. "My mother used to farm in the countryside and drive a van to make it easier to buy things in the county town. However, as she grew older, we didn't want her to work so hard, so we decided to buy her a safer SUV and travel." Ms. Xu told reporters that in May 2021, she bought a domestically produced SUV for her mother. "In July of that year, after my child had summer vacation, the three generations of us drove directly to Inner Mongolia."
At the age of 69, Grandma Xu had her first self driving trip and the journey was very smooth. "In those years, the comment area said that the old lady could travel in Inner Mongolia by herself at such an age. In fact, the road in Inner Mongolia is particularly easy to walk, relatively flat, and the old lady has sufficient experience and drives very steadily." Ms. Xu told reporters that when she bought a car for her mother, she wanted to take her to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Xizang for a walk. Having seen grasslands and plateaus, it was a lifetime of regret for northerners.
So, according to the plan, on July 3rd, Ms. Xu's son had summer vacation, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren began their journey to Tibet. "The journey was smooth, from Shandong to Henan to Hubei, and now to Ganzi in Sichuan, it is close to Xizang."
Obtaining a driver's license at the age of 50
"In her eyes, nothing is difficult."
"She got her driver's license at the age of over 50 and has been driving for over 20 years now. She has a lot of driving experience." On July 9th, when driving over a 4580 meter pass, Ms. Xu and her child both had altitude sickness, but Mrs. Xu said there were no problems at all. She confidently took the steering wheel and crossed the pass with her daughter and grandson.

"My mother lost her mother when she was eight years old, and her life was quite difficult." Ms. Xu told the reporter about Grandma Xu's story. She told the reporter that Grandma Xu used to drive tractors in the production team when she was young, and later went into factories, raised bees, and started a small business.
When she was young, Grandma Xu drove a tractor. In order to make a living, she had driven tricycles, motorcycles, small trucks, and small trucks. She was an experienced "old driver".
After the popularity of self driving videos, many people believe that Grandma Xu is a wealthy old lady with a "ten thousand yuan" retirement pension. "My mother doesn't have a retirement pension, but she works hard all her life and has a little savings," said Ms. Xu.
Grandma Xu only has Ms. Xu as her child. After Ms. Xu got married, she returned to the countryside to farm. "My mother has been very hardworking and studious all her life, enduring a lot of hardships. In her eyes, nothing is difficult, and she thinks she will definitely learn."
"I am 41 years old this year, and my mother is 71 years old. I can earn more money even when I run out of it. Taking advantage of her good health, I want to take her out for a walk more." Ms. Xu said that Grandma Xu has good physical fitness and mentality, and many times, she has to rely on this old lady who has never attended college for guidance. "My mentality is not as good as my mother's. Her thoughts are even more open-minded than me. Sometimes when I live under great pressure, I rely on her to guide me." In Ms. Xu's eyes, Mrs. Xu is a kind, hardworking, and frugal person. Her diligent and studious attitude towards life has also benefited Ms. Xu greatly.
