Huang Yijun, a 92-year-old woman from Huangjiaotan, China, went into a hospital looking for a cure for her stomach aches. Doctors found that the cause of her pain wasn’t her stomach, but her womb.

In 1948, Huang discovered that her unborn child had died. Unable to afford the medical fees, Huang decided not to remove the fetus: “It was a huge sum at the time – more than the whole family earned in several years so I did nothing and ignored it.” 60 years later, doctors are amazed at how little the body has decayed, and how well Huang has fared.
