Xie Houguo is an awesome 66 year old long-distance biker from Chongqing. She biked for the first time back in 1993 and was hooked ever since. Nothing could stop Xie's love of biking, even a horrible accident that disabled her for life. With a 30 cm long steel implant in her pelvis, she continued to bike and see the world. Xie has biked all over China and even drove through 11 countries in Europe, a total of 180,000 kilometers. On February 5 of this year, Xie took at 67 day bike trip through Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia, arriving back in Chongqing on April 12. Of course, her story has recently gone viral in China. Can I adopt her as my grandmother please?
