107 Year-Old Lady Searching For Her First Bride

Wang Guiying,Chinese woman,107 years old, is looking for her bride a the age of 107.

Wang Guiying was born in southern Guizhou province. She was the child of a salt merchant. She grew up watching her uncles and other men scold and beat their wives and this made her fear marriage.

After her father, mother and older sister died, she still did not marry and moved to the countryside where she survived as a farmer until she was 74 years old and no longer strong enough to work in the fields.

Now She decided to marry because she was worried that she had become a burden to her aging nieces and nephews, especially since she was forced to stop helping with household chores since breaking her leg when she was 102.

She says,“My nephews and nieces are getting older and their children are already tied up with their own families and I am becoming more and more of a burden. I’m already 107 and I still haven’t gotten married. What will happen if I don’t hurry up and find a husband?”

The brides all wore traditional wedding dresses while the grooms wore suits for the stunt on the Xiangjiang River in Zunyi city, Guizhou province.

All three couples belong to the local single bamboo rafting club, and chose to get married on the water to show their skill at the sport, reports People Daily.

The sport involves racing on the river while balancing on a locally produced bamboo pole around 20cm in diameter.

"They can sit or stand on the piece of bamboo and they can race and compete at other tasks using a thin bamboo oar," explains a club spokesman.

The Zunyi city sporting office says it is trying to promote the new sport and hopes it will become popular across the city.
