Virus survivor, 102, charms nurses at rehabilitation center

"I am not a person with disabilities and don't need others to feed me. I can have food by myself," she said.

Before each meal, Liu asks Xiong what she wants and put all the dishes she selected on a small table on the bed. "She's particularly fond of sweet food," said Liu, who is happy to see that Grandma Xiong is getting better day by day.

Liu said Xiong will stay at the center for a few more days, despite finishing the quarantine, as the care center for seniors Xiong lived in before getting sick was shut down for the epidemic.

"Grandma Xiong is like my family and I wish her happiness every day," Liu said.
