Virus survivor, 102, charms nurses at rehabilitation center

Liu didn't flee. Rather, she contacted Xiong's eldest son and helped Xiong have a video chat with her son, which helped ease the senior's anxiety and cheered her up. After one-month's care, the 102-year-old is now in a good mood and in good health.

"Now whenever we make ward rounds, Grandma Xiong will talk to us and cooperate with us to do a good job," Liu said.

Xiong also is trying to take care of herself and reduce the nurses' burden. She insists on having meals on her own rather than being fed, though she has difficulties in moving because of her advanced age.
