Still Alive? Reached 100?

Without sources, not even in zh Wikipedia, it's impossible to tell whether this individual is still alive, or even reached 100 years old. A google search turned up nothing for me, although I can conjecture indirectly that he does in fact exist. Can anyone provide a source that he's still alive? That he reached 100 years old? Maybe in a non-English language? Cheers, CP 17:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

== Most recent story about Zheng Ji is cited on epochtimes.com (Chinese Edition, May 8, 2009) http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/9/5/8/n2519656.htm The story date was May 8, 2009 about celebrating his 109th birthday on May 6, 2009 at Nanjing University, 9 days before his actual birthday —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qqqq4 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Is he really 110 years old?

He's not dead? How do we know? Also, wasn't his birthday listed as May 15 before? --Farvin111 (talk) 19:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

How do we know that anyone about whom we have an article is not dead? Do we demand daily updates from reliable sources confirming non-death? We know that he was alive a year ago and no source has been provided to say that he has died in the mean-time. The birth date of May 6 is verified by the source in the article, being the Wednesday before it was published. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:40, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Age of parents at death, etc.

Since he made super status (apparently) plus nearly 100 days, which is very rare for males, more background on whether or not he had a genetic advantage in doing so or it if was strictly a result of application of the dubious principle mentioned ("metabolic imbalance"), albeit carried out in an overall program that was effective. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 08:52, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
