It is 2023 now. Ms. Bui Thi Loi is 75 years old. She is from Loc Ninh commune, in Vietnam’s Quang Binh Province. She looks in great shape for her age, which only makes her diet (日常饮食) much more surprising.

The elderly woman has lived on water and soft drinks for half a century. It all started 60 years ago when she was struck by lightning (闪电) while she and other women were climbing up a mountain. Although she didn’t die, she was never the same after that. She didn’t eat anything for days after coming to her senses, so her friends started giving her sweetened water.

A few years after the accident, Ms. Bui Thi Loi continued to eat some solid (固体的) food, mainly fruits, but she never really felt the need for such food. In 1970, she gave up solid food, depending only on water and soft drinks.

The 75-year-old woman says that the smell of food alone is enough to make her feel sick, and although she always cooked for her kids as they were growing up, she never actually ate her own cooking. Now that her kids have moved out, her kitchen is gathering dust(灰尘).

Ms. Bui Thi Loi’s case has become a hot topic in Vietnam recently.
