7. Tomisaburo Wakui (b. 28 November 1913), 110,  Japan

With the sad death of Tomisaburo Wakui, would Kiyotaka Mizuno born on March 14, 1914 be the new top 10?
Does Vietnamese-Dutch John Huang not have documentation to appear on this list?

I still remember when 1 year and 6 months ago the Top of men looked like this, and now John Tinniswood is the only survivor of them.

Since John Tinniswood joined the list, when Santos Hildebrando Rivas died on 17 Apr 2023, the United Kingdom had at least one representative here, now it doesn't.
Japan appears again in the ranking, it had left in the update of 26 Aug 2024, when the anonymous Japanese dean died

Abilio Borges Moreria reported still alive according to this news article: https://ponoticias.com.br/pinheirense-comemora-113-anos-apenas-um-dia-mais-velho-que-joao-pinheiro/

The GRG's validation of Zhou Renqing doesn't count here, right?

@futurist no, it doesn't I think. LQ hasn't investigated his age yet I think, despite that though, his age is plausible in my opinion.

@futurist no, it doesn't I think. LQ hasn't investigated his age yet I think, despite that though, his age is plausible in my opinion.

On GerWiki, it extensively mentions his education:

Zhou Renqing was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, China on 7 November 1913. From 1920 to 1924, he studied poetry and scriptures in a private school in Xiangtan, Hunan for four years. In 1924, he went to school in the third grade of Sanyu Primary School in Xiangtan, Hunan, that is, he started primary school from the third grade; in 1926, he went to school in Changsha Youth Association, and then took English tutoring at the home of a teacher in the association; in 1928, he took English and mathematics tutoring at the home of a teacher in Changsha Guangyi Middle School, and took tutoring in the high school tutorial class of Changsha Guangya Middle School; in 1929, he studied in the high school department of Changsha Provincial No. 1 Middle School until graduation; in 1932, he was admitted to the Law and Economics Department of National Wuhan University and graduated in 1936.

Which suggests that there might be some or even a lot of documentation for him from within the 20-year-window.

Does Vietnamese-Dutch John Huang not have documentation to appear on this list?

From GerWiki:

In 1931, at the age of 17, together with his family, he left Vietnam and moved to the Netherlands (first to Suriname), where they set up an antique shop a few years later.

1931 is still within the 20-year-window, if such a travel document for him can actually be found.
