A traditional Chinese medicine doctor dipped a live snake in liquor to make medicinal liquor 42 years ago but has found the snake is still alive, reports Chutian Metropolis News.

A traditional medicine doctor Zhu put a live viper in a large jar of liquor 42 years ago to make medical liquor in Jianli County of Hubei Province.

Many other herbal medicines were also dipped in the jar. Zhu also often emptied liquor from the jar over the years.

Zhu's wife Hu opened the jar recently and found that the snake was still alive and moved slightly in the jar.
