A look into my future perhaps? Seriously though good for her. The reason she didn't want to get married was so she wouldn't be stuck in a bad and abusive relationship:
"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."


I wish her the best. She sounds like a little spit fire.

it's kind of strange to me that in such a traditional culture she wasn't just married off. i guess i don't know enough about china particularly, but it seems like she wouldn't have had the rights/ability to not be married.

what do i know?

i predict that's not your future though.

I love this lady mainly for the fact the she has no clue about life expectancy how great is it to be 107 years old and to worry about becoming a burden to your family.
