16.Emma Morano,the oldest living person celebrated her 117th birthday on November 29,2016.Friends,neighbors and her doctor joined Morano in her small apartment home in the northern Italian mountain town of Verbania.She blew out three candles on her birthday cake.Each candle represented a number in her age."I hope I don't have to cut it,"Morano joked.
"She dressed up and she was very proud,"said her long-time doctor,Carlo Bava."She posed for a photographer,and even asked if her hair looked good.""I am happy to turn 117,"Morano told those attending her party.She received a greeting from Italy's president,Sergio Mattarella.He wished her peace and continued good health.She is thought to be the last living person born in the 1800s.She outlived all her brothers and sisters,including one who died at age 102.
Her doctor noted that when Morano was young,people used to say she was weak and often sick."Yes,yes,"she said.The world's oldest person told the Reuters (路透社) news agency that while she is lucky to have lived so long,parts of her life were"not so nice."She worked in a factory until she retired at age 65.Morano once told a reporter that the first man she planned to marry was killed in World War One.Then,at age 26,she was forced to marry a man she did not love.She said the man threatened to kill her if he did not marry her.She had a son,but the baby died after just six months.She said the marriage was not happy and her husband was abusive (虐待的).She kicked him out in 1938and has lived alone since then.
