00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: Now, this story was in the news all across the weekend.

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: We're about to introduce you to two special guests, doctor

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: John Levin and doctor Yan Ying. Now an ordinary couple

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: from here in Melbourne with a nineteen month old baby boy.

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Except the plot twist is that John is ninety three

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: years old and hasn't you baby?

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: Good morning John, Good morning yan Ying. Right now, this

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: is a story.

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: Congratulations, Thank you.

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: How much does say as a.

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 5: New mums busy?

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, busy, I bet.

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: Now this is a story about falling in love later

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: in life, I suppose. But also John, about your quest

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: because it is unusual to have a brand new baby,

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: I suppose in your nineties.

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: But you're also on a mission to be around for

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: as long as possible.

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: You're all about longevity and living a long, healthy life,

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: and you want to be around for when your son

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: turns twenty one, hopefully.

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: So what is it?

27
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: First of all, tell us about how you two met.

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 6: Well, we met because my wife died. I was married

29
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 6: for fifty seven years and I got very lonely. I

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 6: didn't know what I should do. I thought, maybe I'll

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 6: learn a language. So I looked up all the For

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 6: some reason, I don't know why now, I picked Chinese.

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's one of the hardest languages in the world.

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 5: Time I looked up.

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 6: All the schools that I could go to, and there

36
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 6: were three in Melbourne. So I picked one, and I

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 6: picked a Monday afternoon and I went to that school

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 6: and I went up there and then this young lady

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 6: came out and said, I'm Yan Yi, I'm your teacher,

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 6: and so we went and started to teach me. And

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 6: I said to her, well, look, isn't it another place

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 6: we can go where you don't have to pay these people?

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 6: And she said, yes, you can come to my office

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 6: at Munish University. So I went to the office there

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 6: and I had a couple lessons, and then she told

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 6: me that I was the worst pupil she ever had.

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 7: Well, can I have a bit of a disclaim.

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 7: I was doing my PhD full time then and only

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 7: a children Chinese, and I have to say ten years

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 7: ago I wasn't probably the best Chinese teacher, and I

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 7: hope I can do a little bit of a better

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 7: job now and teaching my song anyway. Yeah, the Chinese

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 7: wasn't really for him.

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 8: So I was a teacher student situation, and now it's

56
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 8: grown into a love story.

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Yes. How long have you gonna have been together?

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 7: Eleven years?

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Wow?

60
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: Well, and you've got a little baby now, John, you

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: speak quite openly about wanting to be around for as

62
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: long as possible, like any new parents.

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: And you specializing longevity is that right?

64
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: Well? Anti aging medicine.

65
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: What is the key to a long healthy life?

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: What is the key?

67
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: Well, for many, many keys, I mean you know you

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 6: can't exist that. The one is to try to keep

69
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 6: your heart healthy. Yes, because six out of every ten

70
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 6: people get heart disease, if you know that, and three

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 6: or four out of ten die from it.

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Wow.

73
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 6: When patients come to me, that's the first thing I

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 6: concentrate to try to keep their heart.

75
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: See, I reckon John's We're going to be very different

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: to yours, quint.

77
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I dare say I'm doing the wrong things. Yeah,

78
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: doctor John, What is it or what was it like

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: holding that baby boy in your arms?

80
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 5: It was unbelievable. I mean, you know, but by the way,

81
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 5: I have ten grandchildren.

82
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Wow, and.

83
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 5: I shouldn't tell one of my grandchildrens quite famous.

84
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: Oh who's the celebrity in the family.

85

Speaker 6: She's a star and Channel ten. She is that eleven,

86
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 6: she's a judge. You proud grandfather, she's my oldest child.

87
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: Can I ask what was the family reaction like when

88
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: you said you were going to have a baby.

89
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 5: I think the reaction was what I said, Yeah right.

Speaker 3: I mean, it's an amazing story.

91
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: But it's also so wonderful to know people can find

92
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: love and happiness again, because I think there would be

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: many people who sadly.

94
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: Have walked in similar shoes to you, doctor John and

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,160

Speaker 5: So I didn't quite hear what you said.

00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: She was just saying you can fall in love at

99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: any age.

100

136
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more.

137
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: Actually, is this an exclusive? Because I wasn't reading about that.

138
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: We're actually thinking about extending the family. We're going again.

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 5: Probably, I was so good.

140
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 8: I was reading a lot of the comments online and

141
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 8: you know, and no doubt you would have experienced some

142
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 8: negativity from the public regarding your story. Good And we

143
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 8: were just having a chat this morning in the meeting.

144
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520

Speaker 8: love story, that's what it's celebrating.

146
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 4: What would you say to someone who is sitting in

147
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: their car right now who might sort of is their eyebrows.

148
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 7: Well, if our story can put a smile on people's face,

149
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,960

Speaker 8: can be controversial, but I can tell you now, I've

162
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,120
