Yang Dan, a weather girl from China’s state broadcaster, looks no different today than her 22-year-old self in her first show in 1996.
Incredibly youthful Ms. Yang, who is now 44 years old, has been hailed as an ‘ageless goddess’ after a compilation video of her was shared online by the China Central Television Station.

The video was posted onto Weibo, the Chinese equivalent to Twitter, by the weather programme in order to mark the International Women’s Day yesterday.
It shows Ms. Yang’s age-defying looks over 22 years since 1996 when John Major was the Prime Minister of UK, Bill Clinton was the US President and internet was still a strange thing.
The weather programme wrote in the post: ‘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.’
