An auntie in China has come up with her own way of dealing with heavy traffic jam by stepping out of her car to practice tai chi in the middle of the Cheng Nan expressway in Sichuan.
 
A video, which was originally published on Weibo on Oct. 2 and received over 300 million views, was taken during the country’s Golden Week from Oct. 1-7.
The woman in the video can be seen standing outside of her vehicle to do some stretching before proceeding to practice her tai chi moves.

After warming up, the auntie then busts out her tai chi moves as other drivers watch her perform in the middle of the traffic jam.
Even as it begins to drizzle, the elderly woman still pushes on with her practice.
According to AsiaOne, she did the ancient Chinese martial arts for almost two hours until the traffic jam cleared out.
