Liu Baishi is a centenarian who lives in Guangming village, Daowai district, Harbin, capital of Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province. Although she is 104 years old, she carries home-grown vegetables to a food market in town before dawn every day to take care of her mentally handicapped son who is in his 50s now.
