74-year-old man fathered sixth son earlier this year

CHIAYI, Taiwan -- A 74-year-old man in Chiayi County became a father again earlier this year when his newly-married wife gave birth to a boy, local media reported yesterday.

Chen Ching-hsi, already a father of five children, married a Chinese wife who's in her 30's last year.

Chen's oldest child is 50 years older than his youngest son, and his grand-child is three years older than his new-born baby.

Having experienced five big surgeries, Chen said he did not expect to father a child again as a senior citizen.

　　Staying in good shape made things that seem impossible possible, he said.

His friends and family said the government should designate Chen as an ambassador of raising-birth-rate campaigns as he continued to generate a kid at his age.

"His friends and family said the government should designate Chen as an ambassador of raising-birth-rate campaigns as he continued to generate a kid at his age."

As we're all certain he'll make a meaningful and significant contribution to his new son's life - not. He should be an example of why society has the right to perform forced sterilization.
