Speaker 2: We're about to introduce you to two special guests, doctor
Speaker 2: John Levin and doctor Yan Ying. Now an ordinary couple
Speaker 2: from here in Melbourne with a nineteen month old baby boy.
Speaker 2: Except the plot twist is that John is ninety three
Speaker 2: years old and hasn't you baby?
Speaker 3: Good morning John, Good morning yan Ying. Right now, this
Speaker 3: is a story.
Speaker 4: Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 3: How much does say as a.
Speaker 5: New mums busy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, busy, I bet.
Speaker 2: Now this is a story about falling in love later
Speaker 2: in life, I suppose. But also John, about your quest
Speaker 2: because it is unusual to have a brand new baby,
Speaker 2: I suppose in your nineties.
Speaker 3: But you're also on a mission to be around for
Speaker 3: as long as possible.
Speaker 2: You're all about longevity and living a long, healthy life,
Speaker 2: and you want to be around for when your son
Speaker 2: turns twenty one, hopefully.
Speaker 1: So what is it?
Speaker 3: First of all, tell us about how you two met.
Speaker 6: Well, we met because my wife died. I was married
Speaker 6: for fifty seven years and I got very lonely. I
Speaker 6: didn't know what I should do. I thought, maybe I'll
Speaker 6: learn a language. So I looked up all the For
Speaker 6: some reason, I don't know why now, I picked Chinese.
Speaker 3: Well, that's one of the hardest languages in the world.
Speaker 5: Time I looked up.
Speaker 6: All the schools that I could go to, and there
Speaker 6: were three in Melbourne. So I picked one, and I
Speaker 6: picked a Monday afternoon and I went to that school
Speaker 6: and I went up there and then this young lady
Speaker 6: came out and said, I'm Yan Yi, I'm your teacher,
Speaker 6: and so we went and started to teach me. And
Speaker 6: I said to her, well, look, isn't it another place
Speaker 6: we can go where you don't have to pay these people?
Speaker 6: And she said, yes, you can come to my office
Speaker 6: at Munish University. So I went to the office there
Speaker 6: and I had a couple lessons, and then she told
Speaker 6: me that I was the worst pupil she ever had.
Speaker 7: Well, can I have a bit of a disclaim.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 7: I was doing my PhD full time then and only
Speaker 7: a children Chinese, and I have to say ten years
Speaker 7: ago I wasn't probably the best Chinese teacher, and I
Speaker 7: hope I can do a little bit of a better
Speaker 7: job now and teaching my song anyway. Yeah, the Chinese
Speaker 7: wasn't really for him.
Speaker 8: So I was a teacher student situation, and now it's
Speaker 8: grown into a love story.
Speaker 1: Yes. How long have you gonna have been together?
Speaker 7: Eleven years?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Well, and you've got a little baby now, John, you
Speaker 2: speak quite openly about wanting to be around for as
Speaker 2: long as possible, like any new parents.
Speaker 3: And you specializing longevity is that right?
Speaker 5: Well? Anti aging medicine.
Speaker 3: What is the key to a long healthy life?
Speaker 5: What is the key?
Speaker 6: Well, for many, many keys, I mean you know you
Speaker 6: can't exist that. The one is to try to keep
Speaker 6: your heart healthy. Yes, because six out of every ten
Speaker 6: people get heart disease, if you know that, and three
Speaker 6: or four out of ten die from it.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 6: When patients come to me, that's the first thing I
Speaker 6: concentrate to try to keep their heart.
Speaker 1: See, I reckon John's We're going to be very different
Speaker 1: to yours, quint.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I dare say I'm doing the wrong things. Yeah,
Speaker 4: doctor John, What is it or what was it like
Speaker 4: holding that baby boy in your arms?
Speaker 5: It was unbelievable. I mean, you know, but by the way,
Speaker 5: I have ten grandchildren.
Speaker 1: Wow, and.
Speaker 5: I shouldn't tell one of my grandchildrens quite famous.
Speaker 3: Oh who's the celebrity in the family.
Speaker 6: She's a star and Channel ten. She is that eleven,
Speaker 6: she's a judge. You proud grandfather, she's my oldest child.
Speaker 1: Can I ask what was the family reaction like when
Speaker 1: you said you were going to have a baby.
Speaker 5: I think the reaction was what I said, Yeah right.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's an amazing story.
Speaker 2: But it's also so wonderful to know people can find
Speaker 2: love and happiness again, because I think there would be
Speaker 2: many people who sadly.
Speaker 3: Have walked in similar shoes to you, doctor John and
Speaker 3: thought that that was it. But you really can fall
Speaker 3: in love and be happy at any age, can't you.
Speaker 5: So I didn't quite hear what you said.
Speaker 1: She was just saying you can fall in love at
Speaker 1: any age.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, And so what are the things that you're
Speaker 2: going to do to be around until because if you
Speaker 2: want to live in a long, healthy life, you want
Speaker 2: to how long?

Speaker 7: the which I expect it not that I will trust
Speaker 7: our baby with him.
Speaker 1: Does it?
Speaker 4: Does it warm your heart to see him with your
Speaker 4: little boy? What's the emotion like for you? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Absolutely. I still remember when we were in the hospital
Speaker 7: and he was sitting by the window holding the little

Speaker 7: beautiful scene.
