Biography
Li Suqing claimed to have been born on 14 January 1899 in Huludao, Liaoning Province, Qing dynasty (China). She and her husband were local farmers.
Li came to Shanghai in January 1975 with her daughter-in-law. In 2005, she was reported as the eighth-oldest living person in Shanghai.
In September 2008, Li was reported to be the oldest living person in Shanghai; her predecessor, Zeng Lejun, went to limbo. At the time, she was living with her youngest daughter Tian Yulan [Chinese: 田玉兰] (aged 68 in 2008), her son-in-law Gong Jingfa [Chinese: 龚景发] (aged 70 in 2008), and her nurse.
Li enjoyed spending time with her grandson. In May 2016, she got pneumonia.
Li Suqing died in Pudong, Shanghai, China on 11 June 2016, at the claimed age of 117 years, 149 days.
Potential Longevity Records
If validated, she would have been the oldest living person in the world at the time of her death, from the death of Gertrude Weaver on 6 April 2015 to her own death on 11 June 2016, as she claimed to be older than Jeralean Talley, Susannah Mushatt Jones and Emma Morano (who would be her successor).
Next to Emma Morano, she would also have been the penultimate person in the world to have been born before 1900.
