It is a miracle that a person 100 can still read books and newspapers, splash ink and spend a lot of time going out to participate in cultural activities. The protagonist of this miracle is the famous Shanghai writer Mr. Kebiao Zhang, 106 years old.

It has been 80 years since Zhang Lao entered the literary world from Shanghai in the 1920s. Zhang Lao, 1900 Haining native, is infatuated with Shanghai. After coming to Shanghai in the 1920s, it became inseparable from Shanghai. In his later years, he took his new wife Lin Qing and settled in the south corner of Shanghai suburb, leading a leisurely and quiet happy life. His face is like that, with a smile. He said that when he was a child, his classmates nicknamed him "Amitabha Bodhisattva", which naturally meant no harm. This smiling face is sometimes a joke. During the "Cultural Revolution", Zhang Lao was labeled as a counter-revolutionary and was often criticized. Once, he stood for inspection and was ordered by the rebels: "Seriously, what's so funny?" . In fact, Kebiao Zhang couldn't laugh at all, and his heart was in tears. Others said, "He was born with this smile." "Well, a smiling tiger is more fierce in his heart!" So I was criticized even more. For the way of keeping in good health, Zhang Lao always only said: "Let nature take its course". He never does fitness exercises such as boxing and qigong, nor does he talk about nutritional conditioning such as tonic. He eats whatever he has. During the difficult period of three years, he said that he had tasted grass roots, vegetable skins and bran.

Zhang Lao loves to walk. He thinks that walking more is his way to keep healthy. I started attending private schools at the age of 6 and started walking. I often walk 3 kilometers to read books. Because I walk a lot, I often walk across the soles of my shoes. Going swimming when you grow up is also a kind of water walking. Because I love reading, I make time for physical exercise. After work, I often go dancing, which is another form of walking, just romantic and rhythmic. When I was young, I used to run around and even run. Now pacing indoors, or going up and down the escalator, walking slowly, I don't feel tired, just be careful. The secret of longevity: eat porridge for 30 years

Regarding diet, Zhang Lao said that he has a history of eating porridge for 30 years. Probably because I had a bad stomach when I was a child, I especially liked to eat rice porridge. Rice must be white japonica rice, and fragrant japonica rice is better. And it is pure white rice porridge, not eight-treasure porridge and laba porridge. The dishes of porridge are not necessarily pickles, milk rot and meat floss. There is no harm in having big fish and big meat, just don't use irritating condiments such as hot and sour. Taking porridge as a meal, three meals a day, is also enjoyment. Lu You has a poem: "Eat only porridge to become immortal". Zhang Lao said: "Rice porridge is light and nourishing the stomach and easy to digest. My longevity is related to porridge! " Back to smiling face, it will always be a smile and calm. "This also shows that I am a timid person," Zhang Lao went on to say. Zhang Lao's life has always been very calm. Don't strive for the first place in the exam. In other things, I never compete with others, compete, compete, and don't want to stand out from the crowd. Zhang Lao calls himself a tough guy and won't be a hero. The biggest title on his business card is "China citizen and China citizen". This mentality and personality may be the main factors for Zhang Lao's longevity. This also confirms the old saying of China, "Benevolent people live long". It must be mentioned that when/kloc-0 was 0/00 years old, Zhang Lao felt lonely because his wife died and there were no children at home. He published an advertisement for "looking for a partner" in Jiang Shen Service Herald, and got his wish. The virtuous bride is Ms. Lin Qing from Harbin. Married for 6 years, happy and harmonious. I wonder if it is a universal law or a special case of longevity. This mystery deserves further study.
