Xing Xing, a one-armed monkey, has lived with a Buddhist nun and monk for over 15 years in a temple of Daliang Mountain in Ninghai County, Ningbo City, east China’s Zhejiang Province. Considering a monkey’s lifespan is roughly three to five human years, Xing Xing is likely around 80, nearly as old as her 85-year-old nun caretaker and 78-year-old monk guardian.
