A centenarian from a small village in Jiangxi Province, who looks after herself and
still does her own embroidery work, has revealed the secret of
aging gracefully.
The 105-year-old Chen Jinlan was born on August 20, 1902. She
lives alone, cooks and cleans for herself every day.
She can remember century-old songs and even plays games with
neighbors. Chen said the secret of longevity is working hard and
eating healthy foods like fish, fruits and vegetables. Bitter foods
are her favorites.
