Impressive footage has emerged from China of an 87-year-old woman who can do the splits. The video, captured in Wuhan, Hubei Province on Thursday, features Liu Xiuying showing how flexible and fit she still is, doing the splits for the cameras.
Her eyes are still in oddly good condition too as she claims she can also get the thread through the eye of the needle quickly without wearing glasses.
According to local reports, Liu Xiuying had a stroke a long time ago, leaving her bed-ridden and entirely dependent on her husband. Then, she started to practise kung-fu to help her recovery. Now, Liu is not only practising kung-fu, but also doing the splits, boxing, planting vegetables on the roof garden, washing vegetables and cooking by herself.
