On Saturday morning, Peng's daughters noticed her body had turned stiff. As they could not feel any breathing or heartbeat in her, they presumed her to be dead. On the following day, all relatives and family friends gathered for her funeral.


But as villagers cleaned her body before putting it into the coffin in the afternoon, Peng opened her eyes while greeting all with her pet words: "Here you come."

The congregated villagers were surprised and later decided to throw a banquet by using the meal actually prepared for the old lady's funeral. u00a0
