Jimmy Carter, who turned 98 last year, became the oldest living US president in history after the passing of George H.W. Bush, who died in late 2018 at 94. The nation’s 39th president has kept a low public profile in recent years due to the coronavirus pandemic but has continued to speak out about risks to democracy around the world, a longtime cause of his.

Carter beat brain cancer in 2015 but faced a series of health scares in 2019, and consequentially underwent surgery to remove pressure on his brain. His health woes forced him to give up his decadeslong tradition of teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.
卡特在2015年战胜了脑症，但在2019年面临了一系列健康恐慌，因此接受了手术以消除大脑压力。健康问题迫使他放弃了长达十年的任教传统，卡特曾经在家乡佐治亚州Plains的Maranatha浸信会教堂星期日学校任教。
