At 119, a woman living in the southern Dong Nai Province, could break the record for “World’s Oldest Living Person.”

Trinh Thi Khong’s birth year, documented in official records and acknowledged through congratulatory messages from both the president and local authorities, is 1905.

This makes Khong not only Vietnam’s eldest resident but also places her two years senior to Maria Branyas Morera of France, who is currently listed by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest.
