World’s oldest person has 'just turned 127 years old' (photos)

A woman who claims to be the world's oldest person has allegedly celebrated her 127th birthday.
Luo Meizhen lives with her only son, who she reportedly gave birth to at the age of 61, in Bama, south China's Guangxi province, The Daily Mail reports.
She was born on July 9, 1885 in the Chinese lunar calendar, which this year fell on August 25 in the international calendar.
That would make her 127 - five years older than the verified oldest person who ever lived.

At a birthday party ate a bowl of rice, two slices of pork, a piece of duck meat and chicken, and two pieces of cake.
Bama County is famous in China for the longevity of its residents. The 2000 census recorded 74 centenarians, a surprisingly large number considering the total population is only 238,000.
