妈妈学开车
Māma Xué Kāichē
Mum Learns to Drive
Lu Jing is forty-two, bakes bread in Nanchang and has never driven -- but her mother is ill and the hospital is two buses away. Twenty everyday situations, from the sign-up form and the eye test to reverse parking, a failed test, a petrol station, a second-hand car, a car park and a small bump, with a gruff instructor who is secretly kind.
