  At 80 years old, she travelled alone to Hong Kong. Two years later, she visited Taiwan by herself, taking a ship and various flights. To make her family members feel at ease, she lied that she was traveling with a group.
  80岁时,她独自去香港旅游。两年后她又一个人去了台湾,坐船,尝试各种航班。为了让家人们放心,她说谎自己是跟团去的。
  She now keeps a good routine every day, starting her morning with exercise and drinking tea. Sometimes she takes a bus for four hours to buy her favorite wine.
