Old man drags wagon 1300km to see Beijing

An elderly man made a journey of at least 1300 kilometers from Central China's Hunan province to Beijing, pulling a home-made wagon containing bedding and other necessities.

The man departed from his hometown in Hunan this July and arrived in Beijing in November. He pulled the wagon and walked all the way north to Beijing to realize his dream of seeing the capital city. He sleeps in the wagon and lives by begging for food.

He said he has no offspring and lives all by himself, and doesn't want to go back home but wishes to continue travelling.
