    Academic Footnotes

    Chinese pathophysiologist Wang Zhenyi, who will turn 100 later this year and was labelled many times as indestructible on these forums, was on oxygen at his last birthday, which is never a good sign at that age.

    The Dead of 2024

    Decent couple of days. Cepeda, Kong Nay and D. Srinivas were all "how the fuck still alive?" forum types. And Shi Ping was of course a top Immortal.

    Military commanders

    Xinhua has visited some Long March veteran last week. Min JIngde is now completely unable to move or speech and Ma Zhixuan looks already dead. The other are doing relatively well.

    Who are the immortals?

    Shi Ping (1911-2024) "Don't worry, the shipping is for free!" (Undertakers to Shi's family regarding his urn) "There can be only one Ping" (Song Ping) "How can I talk with my Chinese counterparts if they keep dying on me?" (Jimmy Carter) Age at death: 112 Known health issues: Hospitalised for the last twelve years of his life, severe hypertension since the early 2000s, wheelchair bound and advanced dementia in his last years, survived severe COVID in 2023, on oxygen since. Bedridden and on life support in 2024. And beside that, the fucking world's oldest man. Cause of death: Multiple organ failure, like a real Immortal. Alignment: Reportedly a nice and funny guy, his biggest deed in life was being executive producer of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. Jokes aside, Shi Ping was a big fan of KFC since it was introduced in China in 1987. In his 90s and already in declining health, he escaped home to go buy a big bucket of chicken wings from a nearby KFC. Shi was the world's oldest living man, though he was in the process of being validated. Despite some claimants like Josias de Oliveira and Rashid Karimov, the title is quite surely up to John Tinniswood.

    The Paper confirms Shi Ping's death. Now breaking news on most Chinese media.

    World's Oldest

    The Chinese eldest are now Song Ping and Yang You, both born in 1917 and both Immortals. Some minor names are still alive from 1915 such as Min Jingde and Wu Jiucheng. 1917 also has Fan Xixian.

    Before updating pools I'll wait for an official obit. Longeviquest would work fine.
