Gong Duruo, 105, has placed lonely hearts adverts in newspapers for a new wife /Lu Feng
Gong Duruo, who was born at Chengde, Hebei province, in 1901, wants a wife less than half his age.
Gong, a doctor, said: "First, the woman better have a history of doctor practice or learning literature, since I need assistance to write a medical book.
"Second, the woman should be younger than 50, and can take care of my life."
Gong has two medical degrees - one from the American State University around 1940, the other from the West China University of Medical Sciences in 2000.
He currentlly lives with relatives but told Inner Mongolia Morning Papers he was looking for life partner again.
"Every one should have a goal. Without a goal, people would die very early. That's why scientists always have longevity, like Einstein, since they have life-goals," he said.
Kidding aside, it is sad that he is at an age where even someone 50 is extremely young.

I think he may be confusing "wife" with "assistant" or possibly "secretary," but who can blame him, he is an old man with at least one phony medical degree.

I don't know much about Chinese medical schools, but assuming they are somewhat similar to American ones, I think it is pretty impressive that he got a degree when he was 100 from a real medical school.
