Sheng Hailin, a 76-year-old woman from Anhui province, has gained international recognition, years after becoming known as China's oldest mother. In 2010, at the age of 60, she gave birth to twins, Zhizhi and Huihui, via IVF, a remarkable feat at the time.

Now 76, Sheng has transitioned into a social media influencer with a substantial following. She shares her experiences, providing comfort and motivation to others who have suffered loss and are navigating life's challenges. Her twin daughters, now 15, are her support system following her husband's passing in 2023.
