Zhang Mucheng, 104, and his wife Xu Dongying, 105, who tied the knot in 1930 are the only centenarian couple in Shanghai.

They recently received the honor of one of the "Top Ten Centenarian Couples in China" from the Gerontological Society of China (GSC) and become cewebrities because of their affectionate, matching outfits.

"These traditional Chinese clothes are tailor-made, and the accessories like stocking caps and scarves were handmade by our son and daughter-in-law," the couple said.
