Steady hand at the bus wheel draws visitors

Driver fulfills childhood dream and attracts tourists through viral clips

Short videos documenting the daily life of a bus driver have gone viral online, turning the G222 bus route into a special attraction in Changchun, the capital of Jilin province. Many tourists from outside the city arrive specifically for a ride along this route, hoping to meet the ever-smiling driver Hu Wenxue in the viral video, known online by her nickname "Little Axue".

The 32-year-old has been a steady presence at the wheel for more than five years. With a natural aptitude for machinery and vehicles, she chose to major in automotive manufacturing and assembly technology at Jilin Tiedao University in 2013. With her qualifications, Hu could have entered a factory of her choosing to work in a technical job related to her field of study, but a childhood dream guided her down a different path.
