A woman in China hopes to be named the world’s oldest person at aged 115 following the death of the previous holder last month.
Fu Suqing, from Chengdu, is waiting for Guinness World Record officials to approve her request after the previous bearer Jiroemon Kimura passed away in June aged 116.
Another Japanese national called Misao Okawa, 115, had been given the title but this is now under dispute.
The pensioner said she was born in 1897 in Sichuan Province, which would have meant she lived through some of the most turbulent times in Chinese history.
Ms Suqing also has a large family and is grandmother, great grandmother and gr
eat-great grandmother to a total of 48 people.
I know there are older people around the world who are not being mentioned. Wish her goodluck in her quest.
