The glamorous grandmother has wowed Chinese internet users with photos taken during a photo shoot

Qin Ling's daughters arranged a photo shoot for her birthday in last August and later uploaded her photos online which gained a lot of attention on social media.

Qin Ling is divorced and says because of her life as a single mother, she didn't have any money to spend on maintaining her looks.

Speaking with Chinese media she said: 'I pat my face down daily and sleep naked once a week.

Also I make a cucumber, yogurt, honey and pearl powder mask which is effective.'

The granny is set to appear on reality television show Mamma Mia, where mothers show off their talents.

The television show which airs today in China will show Qin Ling appearing with her two daughters and granddaughter.

Her youthful looks have even tricked online users with one man on social media site QQ declaring his love for her after seeing her photo.

According to the grandma, despite the fact that she was single at the time, she refused the recent graduate's advances because the age gap was more than twenty years.

She says she wants to find someone older than her to settle down with.

Qin didn't tell her daughters about the man's advances because it would have been too embarrassing.
