A woman who claims to be the world’s oldest person has allegedly celebrated her 127th birthday.
Luo Meizhen lives with her only son, who she reportedly gave birth to at the age of 61, in Bama, south China’s Guangxi province.
She was born on July 9, 1885 in the Chinese lunar calendar, which this year fell on August 25 in the international calendar.
That would make her 127 – five years older than the verified oldest person who ever lived.

She doesn’t look a day over 35.
Well saying her son was born when she was 61 bothers me,so that would make him 65 just makes me question it
Oldest person lived in Mexico and was older than 130
She looks ancient. however the man who was claimed to have been her son which supposedly she had when she was 61 only looks 37-47 instead of 67. There is something fishy about the story.
I bet she ate mostly vegetables and corn, and they were NOT genetically ‘MODIFIED’ (F’d UP).
Bless her and all people, we should all eat like that.
She looks like my baseball glove.
The human physical existence can with desire and no attachments to common false premiss of death, live on as others experience the end of their time.
