Revision 62882686 of "Li Cairong" on enwiki

'''Li Cairong''' (李彩容 ''Lǐ Cǎiróng'' or ''Li2 Cai3 Rong2'', [[November 12]], [[1885]]? - [[May 10]], [[2005]]) was a [[China|Chinese]] [[supercentenarian]], claimed to be the oldest living human being and the third-oldest person ever recorded, behind [[Jeanne Calment]] and [[Shigechiyo Izumi]]. At the time of her death, her family were reportedly seeking recognition of her age from the [[Guinness Book of World Records]]. However, no proof of birth or other documents were ever sent, and the claim that "documents were being sent" was more than a year old. In any case, Li Cairong was the "faux doyenne" of China; in other words, she claimed to be China's oldest person.

She attributed her long life to a regular diet and [[optimistic]] outlook. She died of [[natural causes]].
