China: Oldest person dies at 135
Beijing/UNI/Xinhua: Alimihan Seyiti, the oldest person in China, died at the age of 135 in Xinjiang Uygur region, authorities said on Saturday.
Hailing from Komuxerik township, Seyiti was born on June 25, 1886. In 2013, she topped the list of China's oldest living persons issued by the China Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics.
She led a simple and regular daily life until death on Thursday. She always ate on time and enjoyed basking in the sun in her yard. Sometimes, she helped look after her great-grandchildren.
Komuxerik is known as a "longevity town," with many elderly aged above 90.
