Chinese Weather Woman Stuns The World By Not Aging For 22 Years On Screen, And Here’s The Proof
We all have that one friend who, while everyone else descends into middle age with a certain paunchy weariness, is somehow still recognizable from their senior yearbook photos. Even down to that irritatingly youthful and carefree grin. How do they it? That’s exactly what people have been asking about Yang Dan, a 44-year-old weather woman from China’s state broadcaster CCTV.
A video of Ms. Yang have recently gone viral on Chinese social media, showing her at work over her 22 year stint as weather presenter. Astonishingly, she looks almost exactly the same as when she began her job as a 22-year-old back in 1996, when the Spice Girls ruled the airwaves and we were in thrall to snake, on our Nokia phones.
The video was originally shared by the weather program to mark International Woman’s Day, with the caption, “Many web users have grown up watching her show. They marveled why they have grown older but she hasn’t. What’s more? It appears she is younger and younger.”
Now being referred to as the ‘ageless goddess,’ the award-winning weather presenter has left people scratching their heads with wonder at what her secret could be. Some even joked that it was a conspiracy, and all 22 years worth of weather reports were filmed in a single day. How else to explain it? It’s either that, or the mythical fountain of youth is definitely located somewhere in China!
Scroll down below to check out the pics for yourself, and feel free to share your own anti-aging tips in the comments!

She definitely looks nice, but she also definitely has aged. If you compare the oldest and newest images you can see she's lost her childhood roundness in her face and has more defined adult features.
Clive James 7 years ago
Yep. She looks about 16 in the first one and about 22 in the last.

Great genes and Good Makeup. The genetic key is late puberty. The later one enters puberty, the longer lived and more youthful one looks. At 73 I am constantly assumed to be in my mid 50s. And it was because I didn't enter puberty until I was about three months from turning 16. I always considered it a curse, but not any longer. I got this from my Mother's genes. She will be 95 the later part of this month, and she doesn't look a day over 80. And she drives all over the SouthEast to visit relatives on a consistent basis.

The puberty thing isn't true at all. It's just genes as to whether you look older or not. I have always looked younger than my age, and get mistaken for 10 years younger all the time, and I entered puberty at 12.

White people age every day, from birth. But Asian and black people stay young until one day in their 70s when they just hit 'old' and age overnight.

It seems that way, but that's not quite true. White people have less collagen, so the skin wrinkles as they age. Darker skin has more melon in which collects under the skin as they age, leaving dark spots. That's how you tell the age.

As an Asian with lots of aunt's and great aunt's I must say it really does have to do with the diet... moderate exercise (yoga and tai chi mostly) and lots positive energy. Most of them looks at least 20 years younger than they actually are.

Have a look in her house. There will be a portrait of an old, old woman in some dark corner.
