Story of a century

Juliana Young Koo, 110, talks about her life in China and abroad in a just-released autobiography. Liu Zhihua reports.

Juliana Young Koo was born in 1905 in Tianjin, China, and now lives in New York City. The 110-year-old woman's autobiography, which was recently published in China, is based on stories about her life that she started to tell one of her daughters a few years ago. It is titled One Hundred and Nine Springs: My Story.

Koo was among the first female students to attend Shanghai-based Fudan University, which was established in her birth year. She later spent 10 years working at the United Nations in New York.
