A 102-year-old woman still lives an active lifestyle and is winning admiration from many villagers in Hukou township of Nanxiong county, Guangdong province.

Despite her age, Liu Ximei, who is part of a 40-member family of five generations, is still healthy. The youngest in her family is one.

In addition to washing clothes by herself and doing housework, Liu can still work on the rice fields and on other farmland in Xinhu village.

Liu said her secret to living so long is her easygoing nature, no alcohol and cleanliness.
