Liu Peijin, a 69-year-old former soldier from Weifang, Shandong province, has spent over a decade traveling across China in a camper with his paralyzed wife, refusing to let her spend her final years in a hospital. In 2010, the woman suffered partial paralysis on her left side due to diabetes complications. In 2014, the couple set off in an ordinary car, later upgrading to a camper van equipped with two beds, air conditioning, and a kitchenette. Liu acts as driver, cook, doctor, and caregiver, administering medication, foot baths, and rehabilitation exercises. They have visited 31 of China's 33 provincial-level regions. In April 2026, a video of Liu feeding his wife went viral on social media. The couple now plans a new trip to lesser-known destinations in China.
