Be surprised and amazed.

Here in Taiwan, we have 1,399 senior citizens who have surpassed the 100 year-old mark. Now on CTS, we are taking you to the third oldest centenarian's home in Hsinchu for a peek of her secret to longevity.

This is Hsu Wen Chou-mei, one of the oldest people in the whole of Taiwan.

She lives in Hsinchu and loves caramel.

Born in 1900, Mrs. Hsu is healthy, other than her hard of hearing and knees gave out, everything about her has always been the same for the past century.

Two of her favorites have to be caramel and taking bathes.

But when people ask her for tips on how to live long, her family says its from the clean air and water.

Other than Mrs Hsu, her daughter-in-law is also already more than 80 years old.

Having all four generations living under one roof happily has got to be one of the other tips on longevity.
