The world's oldest woman, Fu Suqing, living in Chengdu of southwest China's Sichuan province, welcomed her 119th birthday on August 21, Chengdu Business Daily reports.

With a great-great-grandson born four days ago, the senior now has 68 offspring.

One day earlier, Fu's family had begun preparing a birthday banquet for more than one hundred guests.

According to 83-year-old Xu Shuhua, Fu's second daughter, twice cooked pork had been Fu's favorite food. Now Fu likes to eat boiled green peas and drink boiled water.

Results of a physical examination last month show that Fu Suqing's health is very good. Her great-granddaughter, Leng Ting, said Fu could still do some cleaning in recent years.

However, in the last six months, Fu lost some weight and eats less, and she spends most of her time sleeping, Xu said.
