It has been claimed by the Chinese government news outlets recently. Still, the authenticity of her birth records remains to be verified. If it gets proved to be right then she will be the oldest woman in the history of the world.
Footage recently released by the local official media outlet shows Almihan Seyit celebrating her birthday with her family and friends surrounding her in Shule county of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, north-western China.
Ms. Seyiti got married in the year 1903 when she was 17 years old. She adopted a girl and a boy as reported by China News.

In the year 2013, Ms. Seyiti toppled the list of oldest women and the oldest citizen living in China. She was then 127 years old.

Japan’s Kane Tanaka, who was considered the oldest living human being in the world will soon lose the title. If the Chinese woman proves to be the oldest one, according to the Guinness World Records. Kane Tanaka turned 117 years old this January.
A separate clip shows a presenter confirming her as the world’s oldest woman at 134 years. The title is said to have been certified by Shanghai China Records Headquarters
On a closing note, the best we can do is to pray for the elderly person so that she keeps good health and lives for a longer period of time.
