Du Pinhua

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Du Pinhua of China is a claimant to the world's oldest person title. She was allegedly born April 22, 1886 and lives in Leshan. According to the Shanghai branch of Guinness World Records (and in apparent defiance of Guinness' London headquarters), Du Pinhua was proclaimed the world's oldest person in 2002. The claim disappeared for almost four years before resurfacing in April 2006, when it was claimed that Du celebrated her 120th birthday. Again, her age has not been internationally recognized.
