A 92-year-old nursing home resident in Yantai, China, is making waves online after she made a daring escape from her care facility—and it was all caught on camera.
The Daily Mail posted the security footage on Instagram, showing the patient, who has Alzheimer’s, scaling a locked gate that is reported to be seven feet tall.
According to the publication, the patient, who apparently planted orchards in the mountains in her youth, helping to develop her strength and abilities in climbing, was recovered safely after a staff member found her walking nearby not long after she made her big break, but denizens of the internet were torn over the results, with some feeling she’d earned her freedom, despite the safety risks.

“This is why you need to stay fit!” one encouraged.
“She moves better then me, and im still 36,” someone else wrote, with another agreeing, “I can’t even do that now. ?.”
“92? I need her secret sauce,” another requested. “Go granny go?✌️,” someone else egged on. Several felt that she’d “earned that escape,” with one demanding, “Let this diva live!!!!” and another commenting, “Honestly, let her go?.”
“If she can climb this massive gate, she doesn’t really need to be in nursing home ??♀️,” one felt strongly, while another emphasized, “To be 92 and able to that she don’t need to be in a nursing home. YEAH lady make your escape.”“Good on you girl!!!” someone else applauded. “Why were the gates locked. It’s not a prison.”
Many of them seemed to miss the part where the woman suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive, irreversible form of dementia that impacts memory, critical thinking skills, and, eventually, simple daily tasks.
While her physical strength and sheer will are certainly impressive, there didn’t seem to be any sense of danger recognized while she was hurtling the fence, which a few others pointed out to those confused in the comments.
The gate was locked, one noted, “to prevent dementia patients from escaping. They are confused and think they have places to be that no longer exist.”
“with that horrible disease they don’t recognise danger,” someone else educated. “Gates locked for their safety.”
