A 90-year-old woman who got lost in the woods in Chongqing for four days was able to survive thanks to only six duck eggs.



The elderly woman surnamed Zhang was reported by hi son, Ma Zewu, to the police after she didn't return home the next day. Zhang came from a fair in a nearby county in March 20, but did not return home for the next four days.

On the second night of her absence, Ma called the police which immediately mounted a search operation. However, the rain made it hard for them to continue the search. On March 23, a camera footage spotted Zhang walking near a factory. Police were able to trace her in a 2-kilometer remote stretch of road located between the factory and a bee farm. She was found later in the night behind a bush and was immediately rushed to the hospital.



Although weak, Zhang's mind was clear and was able to narrate what happened. She said that she took a detour to avoid a vicious dog and got lost in the process. She spent four days and three nights in the forest, and credits the six duck eggs she had for her survival.



Doctors said that for a 90-year-old woman to survive on only six duck eggs for four days and three nights was a miracle.
