6. Li Xiufeng
Those of you with elderly relatives will know two things about them; never write them off because of their advanced years and never annoy them. The family of 95-year old Chinese grandmother Li Xiufeng, merrily disregarded both of these nuggets of advice. Li was found prone on the floor of her home by a neighbor, who alerted the rest of her family. Finding no signs of life and one extremely cold body, the family began the traditional funeral procedures of placing Li in an open coffin for the waiting period of a few days before burial. This tradition probably saved Li’s life, as the following day, she climbed out of the coffin and began cooking dinner as if nothing had happened. Her flabbergasted family possibly spent the rest of her days apologizing profusely, because they had already burned all of her possessions, which is probably for the best as they were almost certainly written out of Li’s will anyway.
