Died at the age of 135 “the oldest man in the world”

AImihan Seiichi, 135, passed away “peacefully” on December 16 surrounded by family members, authorities said Saturday. When she married in 1903, she said that she adopted a boy and a girl with her husband, who died in 1976, and had six generations of offspring. Had 43 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A woman from Xinjiang, western China, claimed to be born on June 25, 1886, during the Qing Dynasty, and was officially declared the oldest living person in the country by the Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics in 2013.

Almihan’s grandson and head guardian, Querban Nuer, said that his grandmother felt good before she died and was full of music around 11 p.m. before bed. “When we listened to music on the radio before going to bed, our legs followed the rhythm.”

Almihan, an ethnic Uyghur from Komukserik, Kashgar, had state-issued identity documents that indicated her birth date in the late 19th century, but some were skeptical about her life expectancy given the hazardous conditions in which they found themselves. At that time, records were kept.

Some experts call the village of Komukserik “the city of longevity”, as it is home to dozens of elderly people aged 90 and over.

However, investigators, including representatives from the Guinness Book of Records, were unable to independently confirm Almihan’s age, but if they did, he would be the oldest person in the world.

Now Kane Tanaka, a Japanese woman born in January 1903, remains the oldest person in the world – twice defeating cancer.
