Nicholas Kao Se Tseien

rdfs:comment

In 2007, he celebrated his 110th birthday, and, in doing so, he reached supercentenarian status. He was, from October 13, 2007 until his death, the second-oldest man in Asia and the seventh-oldest man in the world. Born in Fuzhou, Fujian province, Kao, one of four brothers, converted to Roman Catholicism at age 18 while attending a school run by Spanish Dominican friars. Although trained as a teacher and studying law at night, he ultimately decided to become a priest. Nicholas Kao Se Tseien (15 January 1897 – 11 December 2007) was a Chinese supercentenarian who is currently unverified. If his age is true, at the time of his death at the age of 110 years, 334 days, he would have been the second-oldest man in Asia, the oldest Roman Catholic priest in modern times, and the oldest person to have undergone a cataract operation.

Nicholas Kao Se Tseien (15 January 1897 – 11 December 2007) was a Chinese supercentenarian who is currently unverified. If his age is true, at the time of his death at the age of 110 years, 334 days, he would have been the second-oldest man in Asia, the oldest Roman Catholic priest in modern times, and the oldest person to have undergone a cataract operation. In 2007, he celebrated his 110th birthday, and, in doing so, he reached supercentenarian status. He was, from October 13, 2007 until his death, the second-oldest man in Asia and the seventh-oldest man in the world. Born in Fuzhou, Fujian province, Kao, one of four brothers, converted to Roman Catholicism at age 18 while attending a school run by Spanish Dominican friars. Although trained as a teacher and studying law at night, he ultimately decided to become a priest. His clerical life brought him from China to Taiwan, Malaysia and, finally, Hong Kong. He was a priest in Our Lady of Joy Abbey (Trappist Haven Monastery) on Lantau Island for more than 30 years.
