From 1989 to the present, for 32 years, Xu Jinguo, from Jixia Community, Linzi District, Zibo, took his mother on a motorcycle to travel across China's rivers.

　　For this reason, he changed five motorcycles and broke countless pairs of shoes.

Today, the 93-year-old mother is still very energetic.

"I just want to make my mother happy, so that happiness will lead to a long life," said Xu Jinguo, who is nearly 60 years old.

Motorcycles carry the "world"

　　Xu Jinguo had the idea of ​​showing her mother to see the world a long time ago.

　　He said that his father passed away earlier, and the busy mother inside and outside the house brought up four children alone. "The family conditions are not good. I am the eldest son in the family. I know her hard work since I was a child..."

　　At that time, Xu Jinguo was determined to give her a better life, so that while she could live a comfortable and happy life, she also took her out of the house to see the outside world.

　　In a blink of an eye, Xu Jinguo stood at thirty.

After getting married and starting a business, he finally improved his living conditions with his own efforts. "At that time, in small talks, I learned that she was willing to go out and have a look, so the idea of ​​taking her out to see the world was firmer."

　　As for the reasons for choosing a motorcycle to travel, it is actually very simple.

"The old man gets motion sickness in a car."

　　Among them, on one occasion, my mother had a very serious motion sickness phenomenon less than one kilometer in the car.

After that, Xu Jinguo, who had been in the transportation industry, finally set his sights on motorcycles.

　　In 1989, with the appearance of the first motorcycle that cost 10,000 yuan in Xu's home, Xu Jinguo and his mother's "tour around" officially began.

Xu Jinguo told Qilu Evening News and Qilu reporter that at that time, the money he earned could not only sustain the expenses of the small family, but also support him to travel with his mother. There is no such exaggeration as "smashing pots and selling irons to buy motorcycles and taking mothers to travel". statement.

　　Xu Jinguo said that at the beginning, they chose a place twenty to thirty kilometers away from home, from Ma'anshan in Zichuan to Taihe Reservoir, from Shouguang Vegetable Fair to Dongying Swan Lake... He found that every time he traveled back, he came back. , The mother's spirits are extremely high, and look forward to the next trip very much.

As a son, he was full of joy in his eyes.

　　"Her body has always been very good, otherwise, it is impossible to insist on riding a motorcycle." Xu Jinguo said, even so, he paid special attention to his mother when driving a motorcycle.

Three wishes for him and his mother

　　After the outing, Xu Jinguo and his mother had three wishes: to go to Beijing to see the capital, to Qingdao to see the sea, and to hike to the top of Mount Tai.

　　For this reason, Xu Jinguo drove the motorcycle out of Zibo and Shandong with his mother...

　　After sketching more than 400 kilometers of cycling routes in two days, Xu Jinguo and his mother arrived in Beijing for the first time.

　　There, they went to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony, boarded the Tiananmen gate for a distant view, and climbed the Badaling Great Wall.

Xu Jinguo said that as the saying goes, "You are not a hero if you don't reach the Great Wall." There, the two of them insisted on walking a long way and got the "Certificate of Hero." For this, his mother was happy for a long time.

　　Not only that, Xu Mu, who is over eighty years old, has climbed Mount Tai twice in recent years, and both climbed to the top on foot.

　　"The first time she climbed Taishan Mountain was when she was 81 years old, and the second time she was 87 years old." Xu Jinguo recalled, "At that time, many college students who came down from the mountain wanted to give their mother the crutches, so she waved their hands and said. No, I just climbed to the top of Jade Emperor on my own."

　　In front of the Nantian Gate, the sun was shining, and the 87-year-old Xu's mother stood between Xu Jinguo and his younger siblings with a bright smile.

　　As for the more memorable trip, Xu Jinguo said, he should go to Beijing World Park.

　　At that time, motorcycle travel was restricted in some urban areas of Beijing. For this reason, Xu Jinguo had to rent a bicycle to take his mother.

　　However, in the World Park, there was a strong wind of level 8 before halfway through the tour, and the return journey was riding against the wind. Halfway through the ride, the moon had quietly risen into the night sky.

　　The moonlight in the sky, the two girls on the ground.

Xu Jinguo said that along the way, his mind was complicated.

　　After returning to the guest house, my mother especially wanted to drink polenta.

Despite being exhausted, Xu Jinguo still insisted on cycling to buy.

　　However, due to the darkness of the road, on the way back, he accidentally fell into the ditch with a car and spilled most of the polenta.

But in order to fulfill his mother's wish of "polluted porridge", he returned again and finally delivered the warm polenta to his mother.

　　The moonlight melted, and looking at his mother who was holding the steaming polenta in her hand and smiling happily, Xu Jinguo felt that her heart was hotter than the bowl of polenta.

I have to carry my mother on

　　The trip to Qingdao in August 2011 allowed Xu Jinguo to realize his third wish of "Take his mother to see the sea".

　　At this point, Xu Jinguo said that although their wishes have been fulfilled, the mountains and rivers are vast, and there is no end to the journey between himself and his mother.

　　Later, as far as the Inner Mongolia Prairie, the Great Wall of Beijing, and close to Zibo Taigong Lake, as long as he has free time, Xu Jinguo would drive his motorcycle to take his mother to the scenic spots.

　　"Sometimes, my brothers and sisters will travel together, and I drove my mother on a motorcycle to meet my family at the destination." Xu Jinguo said.

　　He told the Qilu Evening News and Qilu reporter that his family members are very filial to his mother. With the continuous improvement of living conditions, although his mother has no worries about food and clothing and has ample material life, "we want our mother to be able to also be spiritually well. Equally substantial and rich".

　　With this idea, Xu Jinguo has taken his mother all over the country in recent years.

And as the experience continues to enrich, the travel story of Xu Jinguo and his mother continues to extend...

　　"Old people, a good mood is also good for your health, so that you can live a long life." Xu Jinguo said with a smile.

　　In order to leave a beautiful memorial for his mother, Xu Jinguo also bought a camera and taught himself photography and editing.

In the past 32 years, tens of thousands of photos have been taken, dozens of large and small albums have been accumulated, and all the videos during the trip have been cut and engraved into CDs. There are several thick stacks, and the treasures inside are all the beauty of the trip.

"Mother often shared photos with neighbors in the neighborhood, as a baby, so happy." Xu Jinguo said with a smile.

　　In recent years, Xu Jinguo has replaced two-wheeled motorcycles with three-wheeled motorcycles, making it easier to travel with his mother.

However, due to the epidemic, many travel plans had to be temporarily shelved.

　　Xu Jinguo loves calligraphy, and in order to keep her mother active, she insists on ordering newspapers and other reading materials for her mother, and her mother has always insisted on the habit of reading and reading newspapers every day.

　　"Body and mind, one must be on the road." Xu Jinguo said.

　　Now Xu Jinguo's mother is 93 years old and still healthy.

"Mother's happiness is my greatest happiness." Xu Jinguo said that if he had the opportunity, he would continue to take his mother to travel nearby.
