People crowd around Liu Suzhen, a 110-year-old woman, extending their hands to ask for candies at Liu's birthday feast held in Xinmin, Dianjiang county in Southwest China's Chongqing on Feb 9, 2012. The birthday candies were believed by the crowd to bring blessings and good luck to live a long life, as Liu is the oldest person in Dianjiang county. In a bid to receive luck and blessings from Liu, about 1,000 people flocked to Liu’s home and 200 dining tables were prepared for the visitors. Liu’s relatives and neighbors attribute her longevity to her good temper and healthy diet. [Photo/CFP] |
