So what's her secret? She says the key to a long life is living stress free.

"You will probably die earlier. People of this modern age have too much stress," she told TIG Media via Breitbart.com.

"And those who do not work or are idle in their old age won't live long. If you study a lot and work hard, you'll live a long life. Be happy!"
