Liu Ningliang, who was born in the 1980s, used to drive a tractor-refitted caravan from Xingtai to Hainan, and would leave the tractor there because driving it back was exhausting.

The family usually ate vegetables and noodles, though they dined at a restaurant every week.

Traveling on a tractor didn't feel so comfortable because it was hot in the south. They parked the vehicle under trees or bridges during the daytime and drove at night.

On Aug 9, they arrived home after crossing seven provinces: Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Henan and Hebei.

PiSigma said:

Too many dramas for women! Need more Lang Ya Bang (nirvana in fire) where the focus is on strategy and politics and not palace romance.

Also as a member of the Heseri clan, I always feel these Qing dramas don't do us justice.

Exactly Chinese historic drama lack substance and connection with the audience It is just costume show with a lot of pretty face But no drama It is sad China is rich in grandiose historic event and full of interesting character and drama
But the movie studio is numb instead they bring pretty face and pretty costume disappointing

Double Seven Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, falls on August 17 this year. In ancient times, girls would pray for creativity to the god Vega on the night of the 7th day of the 7th month on the Chinese lunar calendar.
