A 106-year-old in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province, has been living the good life with his 45-year-old wife for the last 10 years.

"I felt like it's Valentine's Day every day with my wife," said Wu Menglin, who was born in 1903 in Shanghai and worked in Guiyang for 27 years. His wife died of natural causes in 1988.

Years later, his relatives set him up with a woman who took care of Wu's as a nursery maid. One year later, Wu asked Xiao Lan to marry him. After convincing her parents, Xiao Lan married Wu in 1999.
