'Dead' woman returns to life on day of funeral

.
A 101-YEAR-OLD "dead" woman came back to life last Sunday, the day of her funeral, shocking her daughters and others in Guangdong Province, Southern Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.

Peng Xiuhua, a widow living in Lianjiang City, fell nearly two weeks ago and became bed-ridden since then. Her two daughters returned home to take care of her.

At around 10:30pm last Saturday, Peng's daughters found her body had turned stiff and they could not detect any breathing or heartbeat. They believed she had died, the newspaper said. They cried and called relatives and friends to attend the funeral the next day.

After villagers cleaned the body before she was put into the coffin the next afternoon, the centenarian opened her eyes, smiled and said, "Here you come," her usual greeting, the paper reported.

The villagers were shocked after Peng came to life. They then decided to throw a banquet by using the food prepared for her funeral.

Peng's younger daughter Liu Meijuan told the newspaper that her mother lived alone and was able to take care of herself after her father died 11 years ago at the age of 101.

Warm-hearted neighbors also frequently visited to do some housekeeping and cooking, said the 67-year-old Liu.
