These days, an 11-year-old boy from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province became widely known. What happened to him?
The boy had a fight with his mother, so he wanted to go to his grandmother’s house. He told his mom about that. However, his mother never actually believed him. Why? Because her mother lived about 140 kilometers (87 miles) away in Meijiang. The boy spent about 22 hours cycling day and night on busy roads trying to achieve his goal. He only stopped when his legs couldn’t carry him any longer. By that point he had already covered a distance(距离) of about 130 km.
On the evening of April 2nd, some people noticed the 11-year-old boy on the road. He was exhausted. They called the police at once. When police asked the child where he was from and what he was doing there, they were shocked. He was so tired that policemen had to carry him from their car into the police station.
The police told reporters that the boy only used road signs to know where to ride. That caused him to take a wrong turn several times during his journey. The 11-year-old was only about an hour from reaching his grandmother’s home. During his challenge, he survived(存活) only on bread and water he picked up before leaving home.
Both the boy’s parents and his grandmother came to pick him up from the police station. His mother said that she thought his words about going to his grandmother were just a childish tantrum.
