On June 10, the world’s oldest living twins sisters were reunited at age 104. In the tradition of visiting relatives after the spring wheat harvest, the older twin, Cao Daqiao, visited her sister, Cao Xiaoqiao, in Fanjialing Village of Weifang City, Shandong Province. Although both sisters live in Weifang City, they live in different villages and rarely get to see each other.
Born in 1905, the sisters are recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest twins. Since their husbands both had the same last name Liu, last year Guinness named them Qiao Senior and Qiao Junior for identification purposes.
The twin centenarians are both in good health. Daoqiao’s 73-year-old son Liu Bao said, “My mother never gets angry. I’ve never seen her losing her temper. A cool temperament might be one of their secrets of longevity.”
Great story. BTTT
