New Delhi, Dec 16 (ANI): The oldest living couple in China, who celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary this year has revealed their secret daily diet, which consists of rice, vegetables and preserved pork.

 

Yang, 109, and his wife Jin, 106, have a combined age of 215 and were recently recognized as the oldest living couple in the country by the Gerontological Society of China.

 

Residing in a mountainous village in Pingtang County, Yang and Jin were born in the final days of China's last feudal dynasty, English.news.cn reported.

 

Young and Jin now lead a peaceful life with their youngest son.

 

The couple still tend to their patch of farmland, where they produce food for the family's dinner table.

 

"People live to work, and life cannot go on without labor," Jin said.

 

Their daily diet consists of rice, vegetables and preserved pork.

 

Yang said the greatest adventure they have embarked on together was a train ride to visit their daughter, who lives in north China's Hebei province.

 

"The train chugged on for a day and a night, but we were still in the same province. Amazing, indeed!" Yang said. (ANI)
