The elderly woman achieved extremely high scores using live ammunition at a shooting range in the central Asian country of Kazakhstan, where she was visiting with her son from eastern China’s Zhejiang province.
The nonagenarian was once a soldier in the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army (CPVA) serving in the Korean war in the early 1950s, the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald reported.
A video of Li Guifang, uploaded on Douyin by her son Wang at the beginning of October attracted half a million likes and 20,000 comments from mainland online observers praising her skills.
Wang said that, at first, the shooting range in Kazakhstan would not allow his mother to fire because of her age.
However, after hearing she was a veteran, they agreed and gave her a small-bore rifle with a sighting device and minimum recoil.
