BEIJING (Jan. 12) - A 107-year-old Chinese woman who was afraid to marry when she was young has decided to look for her first husband and hopes to find a fellow centenarian so they will have something to talk about, a Chinese paper reported.

Wang Guiying is worried she is becoming a burden to her aging nieces and nephews since breaking her leg when she was 102 and had to stop doing chores like washing her clothes.

"I'm already 107 and I still haven't got married," the Chongqing Commercial Times quoted her saying. "What will happen if I don't hurry up and find a husband?" Born in southern Guizhou province the child of a salt merchant, Wang grew up watching her uncles and other men scold and beat their wives and often found her aunt crying in the woodshed after an attack, the paper said. "All the married people around there lived like that. Getting married was too frightening," she said of an era when Chinese women had few rights and low social standing.

Imagine the history this woman has lived through. She was around to see Sun Yat-sen as president, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, the Sino-Japanese war, WW2 and the conquest of China by the communists and that only takes us to 1950. She could write an interesting book.

She can keep looking, but he’s probably dead by now.

Talk about a late bloomer.

I can understand why she didn’t want to rush into anything.

If she has a big dowry, or a few pigs and chickens...and promises to die soon, she mightr get some takers. LOL

Given the shortage of females in China, she may have a shot.
