'In my eyes, I'm only 28': Chinese woman, 60, gives birth to daughter, had son 2 years ago

A Chinese woman, 60 years old, has captivated the world by giving birth to her daughter via caesarean section at Zhumadian Central Hospital in Henan Province, central China, on September 17. The unnamed woman, known as Zhang, shared that she tragically lost her only child, GuoGuo, four years ago. Together with her husband, they decided to try for another child. Zhang's eldest son, GuoGuo, expressed excitement upon meeting his newborn sister, as reported by the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

Zhang's decision to have two children, to accompany each other as they grow older, seemed to surprise her husband who was initially concerned for her wellbeing. Zhang reassured him that she could manage her pregnancy and continued to prepare meals and perform household chores while expecting. Both Zhang and her husband are retired and now dedicate their time to raising their children.

Despite her advanced age, Zhang maintains a youthful perspective, claiming she feels no more than 28 years old. She believes that her family's lineage of longevity, with her father living to 100 and her mother at 94 still having good hearing and vision, supports her belief. Zhang attributes her positive outlook to her family's history and expresses that she is unconcerned by others' disapproval of having children at an older age.
