A 101-year-old granny in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, is an obsessive fan of Chinese NBA star Yao Ming.

The centenarian Jin Hui, a former primary school teacher and sports lover, developed a keen interest in TV sports, games and stars after she retired.

Jin listed other stars like Liu Xiang and Guo Jingjing among her favorites. But between their competitions, she obsessively watches TV and reads newspaper on both Yao's life and career, and regards him as her idol.
