A 95-year-old Chinese woman thought to have passed away stunned her neighbours - after waking up six days after she had been placed in a coffin.
Li Xiufeng was found motionless and not breathing in bed by a neighbour two weeks after tripping and suffering a head injury at her home in Beiliu, Guangxi Province. When the neighbour who found her could not wake the pensioner up, they feared the worst and thought the elderly woman had passed away.
She was placed in a coffin which was kept in her house unsealed under Chinese tradition for friends and relatives to pay respects.
But the day before the funeral, neighbours found an empty coffin, and later discovered the 95-year-old, who had since woken up, in her kitchen cooking.
Neighbour Chen Qingwang, 60, who originally found Mrs Xiufeng, said: 'She didn't get up, so I came up to wake her up.
'No matter how hard I pushed her and called her name, she had no reactions.
'I felt something was wrong, so I tried her breath, and she has gone, but her body is still not cold.'
As Mrs Xiufeng lived alone, Mr Qingwang and his son made preparations for her funeral, and the 'dead' woman was left in her coffin two days after she was discovered. The day before she was due to be permanently laid to rest, however, Mr Qingwang arrived at his neighbour's property and found her 'corpse' had disappeared.
Mr Qingwang added: 'We were so terrified, and immediately asked the neighbours to come for help.'
Neighbours searched her property before finding the pensioner in her kitchen cooking.
She reportedly told villagers: 'I slept for a long time. After waking up, I felt so hungry, and wanted to cook something to eat.

I can stop doing almost anything to eat when I get hungry, too...
This one is "Patient Zero," and therefore Queen Zombie. She conrols all the rest.
Chinese people are funny this way.
They grow three sets of teeth over their lifetimes, climb out of coffins, and apparently give birth when they become 150 years old.
True, but an 0dumbo dim voter doesn’t have to “wake up” to vote - multiple times, they can be dead as a door nail.
Amazing part of this story is she goes into cooking mode after climbing out of a coffin. Hello.. Most people would be major leagued freaked out.

and that is where the term “dead ringer” comes from.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I guess bein’ dead makes ya hungry. Learn something new everyday.
That was my thought, too. Braaaains!
It was your typical Chinese coffin. You go in dead, an hour later you’re alive again!
Cooking it must be similar to eating Chinese food — six days later, you need to cook again...
At 95, that woman lived through some hard times.
Relaxed and ready for the sack, I read your comment and darn near fell out of my chair laughing. I looked at the name and... of course! —It was written by my favorite feller. Sweet dreams, my love, but, LOL! —not too deep! :-*
LOL...sleep tight my darling. Don’t let the zombies bite :-*
