Will the 107 yearr old chinese lady find the love of her life within a year?

Settled as No

No husband. (Though it was suggested that if she didn't find a husband, she might want to learn Chinese (at 107 years of age) so that she could be penpals with another 107 year old Chinese lady.)

Background:

Background: A 107-year-old Chinese woman who was afraid to marry when she was young has decided to look for her first husband and hopes to find a fellow centenarian so they will have something to talk about, a Chinese paper reported.
Wang Guiying is worried she is becoming a burden to her aging nieces and nephews since breaking her leg when she was 102 and had to stop doing chores like washing her clothes.

"I'm already 107 and I still haven't got married," the Chongqing Commercial Times quoted her saying.

"What will happen if I don't hurry up and find a husband?"

Born in southern Guizhou province the child of a salt merchant, Ms Wang grew up watching her uncles and other men scold and beat their wives and often found her aunt crying in the woodshed after an attack, the paper said.

I wonder why the sudden change of heart? It says she was afraid to marry when she was young.. well she hasnt been young for quite awhile. She has had 67 years since she was at least semi young to get married.
