Gong Laifa is the centenarian that Bian Xiao is going to talk about today. When he was born, China was still in the Qing Dynasty, namely 1862. Because of his poor family, Gong Laifa was only born for half a year, and his father couldn't afford it, so he gave it to a second couple for adoption. But it didn't last long. The Xiang couple both died when Gong Laifa 10 was old, leaving only Gong Laifa. After all, Gong Laifa is only 10 years old and has no foster parents to take care of her. In order to survive, he can only go to the mountains to pick wild fruits and vegetables for a living. He is a "little savage" with long black hair and a vivid body.
Four years later, he was still alive and well, and when a large family asked Li Quan for labor, he was taken to do odd jobs. Gong Laifa can live independently in the mountains, and his physique and strength are stronger than ordinary people, so he worked with Li Jiagan all his life quickly and quickly. After Gong came to send Li Xiang's family, the Xiang family had a bumper harvest every year and had three sons. Before Gong Laifa died, seven generations of Xiang Li's descendants all grew up under Gong Laifa's nose. Although Xiang Liqian is a rich man, he never regards Gong Laifa as a present person. Before he died, he told his descendants: "After Gong came to send it to my home, my family will have money. No matter when he lives, we must support him well. "
After Xiang Liqian's death, every generation treated Gong Laifa well according to the wishes of their ancestors. The villagers also honored him as the "ancestor" and gave him some delicious food. The kindness of family and villagers may also be one of the reasons for Gong Laifa's longevity, but more importantly, his living habits. Some experts have personally investigated him and found that he doesn't like meat, fishy, greasy and simple tea and rice, especially corn rice. Moreover, Gong Laifa eats less and less, less than normal people, but every meal is very heavy, eating half a catty of rice and vegetables.
However, Gong Laifa had a very bad living habit, which lasted for almost a century. Others smoke lung cancer and have a short life span. Gong Laifa can still live to be 133 years old after smoking for a hundred years, and 1 19 years old can still work in the fields. This is beyond the experts' explanation.
198 1 year, Gong Lai went out to work, broke his leg and spent his last 10 year in bed. 1993 was named "King of Longevity in China". Many media came to interview and report that some tea factories and wineries took the opportunity to find him as an honorary factory director and received a pension, which made Gong Laifa sigh: "I have experienced several dynasties in my life, and they are not as good as now. I thank the country for its great kindness! " 1994, Gong Laifa also said that he would live to be 200 years old, but he died of acute icteric hepatitis only one year later.
Li Qingyuan, the oldest person in China, was also born in the Qing Dynasty. He lived from Kangxi 1633 to the Republic of China 1933, and lived for 256 years! At the age of 200, I can still travel to other places to give lectures, and I have been with my wife for 24 years. He left 180 descendants, which was reported by new york Times when he died. The secret of his longevity is inseparable from the habit of light diet and simple food.
