Du Pinhua

Du Pinhua (April 22, 1886 - December 11, 2006) was a Chinese supercentenarian who, although not verified by the GRG or GWR, is considered the most likely, according to many polls taken on The 110 Club, longevity claimant over the age of 120 to be true. She was certified by the former Shanghai branch of Guinness World Records, Shanghai Great World Guinness Book of Records, which had split from Guinness several years prior, and is no longer affiliated with GWR. Her claim is unrecognized by other authorities, but is considered the most plausible 120+ claimant as her daughter was herself a nonagenarian (meaning that Pinhua would have had to have been at least a supercentenarian), she was very decrepit, and an 84-year-old man who was her neighbor recalled that when he was young, Pinhua was already in her forties. For these reasons, she is considered one of the few longevity claimants who claim to be older than 120 that are likely true, along with Nguyễn Thị Trù, by the members of The 110 Club.
