Madam Ruan was already eighty-two years old that year. even though she was still extremely strong mentally, age was ruthless, and there were many things that she couldn't do anymore. The old woman refused to cave to her age, constantly searching out exciting activities to try without paying mind to whether her body is able to withstand them.
All the members in the Ruan family were especially careful about preventing Madam Ruan from doing something she shouldn't, especially driving. There was once when Madam Ruan had mistaken the accelerator for the brake, and that had resulted in her crashing into a tree. She gave the family the scare of a lifetime. Luckily, there wasn't anyone that was injured in the incident, but it was because of that that the family had barred her from driving ever again. They always had someone following after her if she ever went out.
