Tian, born in 1893, is from Fenghuang County, Xiangxi. He has gone through three centuries of ups and downs and more than 40 thousand days and nights. She experienced and witnessed how China moved from a corrupt and incompetent Qing Dynasty to a new China with one of the best comprehensive national strength. Although her life was not as vigorous as that of New China, it also experienced hardships that our generation did not. She also married and had children like many people, but unfortunately, her children didn't grow up but died alone. Her husband also left her on 1973, which was a great blow to her when her relatives left one by one. If most of us are sad, we will eventually die with our dead relatives. However, the old man Tian did not give up and fall, but bravely faced it, which is incomparable to us ordinary people.
We find that the elderly who live long are particularly generous and kind-hearted. They don't take trivial matters lightly, and they are more open-minded and don't delve into them. Everyone is particularly good at dealing with people, but today, although our living conditions are good in all aspects, we are hungry for food, and we have to win or lose on a little problem. Some of us even make trouble, or even go too far. No matter whether we are right or wrong, we will never give in. In fact, what if you win? What if I lose? We have to pass. Although today we accept more knowledge and things than the older generation, and our thoughts and experiences are more mature, we are more extreme in dealing with problems. As a result, our neighbors, friends and relatives are not so good. It is more rational to treat people and things with a good attitude. Our neighbors of the previous generation had a good relationship. They often walk around and visit each other after a free meal, which is very harmonious. For example, if we have nothing to do today, we will lock ourselves in the house, watch TV, play mobile phones and brush videos, fearing to be disturbed. It hurts to think about it!
In terms of diet, longevity is enough. I eat very lightly, eat by myself, and have no special pursuit of diet. It's not easy to eat three meals a day on time, just eat seven minutes full, and then take a walk after dinner to digest. It is not easy to stick to this rule all your life. On the other hand, we are rich in materials today, and we eat a lot of delicious food every day, so we can't sit still. Driving after going out for two steps leads to obesity, gout, diabetes and other rich diseases. You don't usually exercise, so go home, take the stairs and take the elevator to spend money on going to the gym. Do you still want to live long? However, long-lived old people work at sunrise and rest at sunset according to the laws of nature, while we sleep during the day, stay up late at night and spend money in the hospital to suffer.
Each of us wants to live a long and healthy life, but how many people can do it? Mentality is very important. How many people can laugh for less than ten years? Pull a long face for two silver dollars every day, fight with others for this trivial matter, and torture yourself for a while. We see that if you want to live a long life, mentality is actually the most important thing. There is nothing that can't be crossed, and there is nothing that can't be developed. It is important to live a happy and comfortable life every day. There is no need to live in the present.

I worked in my 80 s and worked as a nanny.
Tian gave birth to 13 children, but none of them grew up. The oldest child only lives to 18 years old. 1973, Tian's wife also left her to live with her adopted daughter. Zhang Guiying has a son, three daughters and a dozen grandchildren.
In the life of the elderly, the word "labor" has always been with her: helping parents herd cattle, cut wood and beat pig grass at home since childhood; After getting married, she managed to do housework at home and help others outside. An 80-year-old man went to Jishou City to be a nanny for several years. Now that she has moved to the city, she often goes out for a walk and does some trivial housework.
"She is just in a good state of mind and has no pressure in her heart." Daughter Zhang Guiying said in an interview with this newspaper on 20 13 that she survived such a heavy blow as children dying one after another. "She is like a three-year-old child, and we all coax her to let her go." . The old man's attitude is very cheerful, and he will make a "yes" gesture to the camera lens of the guest.
Old people only eat two meals a day, breakfast at around 9 am and dinner at around 5 pm. Every meal is seven minutes full. The old man likes to eat corn, sweet potatoes and vegetables, and tofu is her favorite food. "Rice tofu, water tofu and bean curd residue, as long as they are tofu products, she likes them very much." Zhang Guiying said.
In 2009, Tian ranked ninth in the second "Top Ten Birthday Stars in China" and won the title of "Top Ten Birthday Stars in China".
