| Longevity myth |
Alimihan Seyiti (born 25 June 1886?) is China's "oldest living claimant". Seyiti was of Uyghur ethnicity. She lived in the Chinese city of Kashgar, near the border with Kyrgyzstan.[1] On 15 August 2013, the Xinjiang Daily reported that she was born on 25 June 1886, which, if true, would make her the oldest person in recorded history.[2] Chinese birth records before and into the 20th century are generally unreliable, however, so substantiating her claim has been impossible.[1]
Longevity
Seyiti attributed longevity to dressing herself up. She said that she had never been to hospital. She still did chores like feeding chickens.[1]
Alimihan Seyiti celebrated her claimed 134th birthday on 25 June 2020[3]
