Whether ordinary people or powerful emperors, all kinds of allusions reveal their desire for longevity, which is also the reason why so many Taoist temples practiced Dan medicine in ancient times.
The story of immortality has always been regarded as the most attractive legend and circulated among the people. Nowadays, with the progress of science and technology, especially the construction of health system, the life expectancy of ordinary people has been greatly extended.
Many diseases can actually be effectively treated, thus prolonging the survival time. But in the face of such a result, there are still many people who are not satisfied.
People in modern society also pay more attention to health preservation, knowing that with the invasion of industry into our lives, many electrical appliances for food, clothing, housing and transportation will have a great impact on our health. In such an environment, longevity becomes more important.
But in fact, longevity is not good for everyone. After all, many people in this world choose to commit suicide every day. If a person has no familiar relatives, friends and lovers in this world, then he will feel very lonely, no matter how long his life is, it doesn't mean anything to him.
This is the case with an old man. The old man can be said to have lived a long life. He lived in the Qing Dynasty until 20 17. In his later years, his only wish was even to die. What kind of twists and turns?
Lonely and helpless, desperate for death
There is a saying that people have a good say, that is, "what you can't get is always in turmoil, and what you hold in your hand is fearless."
When a person is sick, he longs to live a hundred years, but when he lives a hundred years, someone wants to die. This is the wish of the oldest old man in the world in his later years.
It can be said that every moment of the old man's life has created a new Guinness World Record. In his life, he married four wives, all of whom died one after another, but he is still alive. He is an old man from Indonesia named Mba Gordo.
Godot was born in India on 1870. He lived all his life 146 years old, making him the oldest person in the world.
In his long life, the white-haired people kept sending the black-haired people away during his lifetime. His children died one after another and even married four wives. He still lives here. It is a kind of happiness for him to have children and grandchildren, but the successive departure of relatives is a heavy blow to him every time.
Godot's relatives are very concerned about him, and they all think that it is not easy to have a long-lived old man at home, which will bring good luck, but unexpectedly, Godot's wish in his later years is to die.
He even prepared a coffin for himself at the age of 122 and asked someone to carve it. However, more than 20 years have passed since his 122 birthday, and he still lives well in the world. Longevity is actually a problem for him.
You can live a long life in spite of your illness.
Maybe someone will take it for granted that Godot is not ill, so he can be healthy for a long time when he is 146 years old. But this is not the case. Godot's physical condition is not healthy, even sick.
Gordo suffered from many long-term chronic diseases in his later years. During his 146 life, these diseases have been tormenting him, and he has no choice but to suffer silently. For example, his eyes can't see clearly for a long time, especially the TV screen. For an old man, life is even more boring without watching TV.
20 16 this year, his health is actually dying, and even the basic life skills such as eating and bathing can't be completed by himself. In this case, the last dignity of being born as a human being has collapsed in the face of these diseases.
A reporter interviewed Godot and asked him what is the secret of longevity. Godot gave his own answer, that is, "be patient."
"Be patient" is such a short sentence. Many people don't believe Godot's answer and want to know if he has other tricks that he hasn't shared with others. But Godot's relatives can prove that he is actually a very patient person, so he has benefited a lot from his long life.
Many people think that health must be blessed by some external skills, such as eating more health care drugs and using more health care equipment, but in fact, the most fundamental change comes from people's own hearts. Patience also tells us to guard against arrogance and rashness, treat all kinds of things with a normal mind and maintain a good attitude, and life will naturally be smooth sailing.
The star of longevity faded and died peacefully.
Mba Godot lived 146 years. Many people have raised their own doubts about this long age record. It should be the limit of mankind for anyone to live to 100 years old. Unexpectedly, some people can live to be around 150 years old. But in fact, Godot's ID card can completely show his real age, and these rumors have also added a lot of mystery to him.
20 17 Godot finally ushered in the death he hoped for.
After April, he began to refuse the treatment plan given to him by the hospital, and more thought that the treatment given by the hospital was useless and the end of his life was coming. So Godot chose to stay at home alone and enjoy the last quiet time.
In these later times, his body slowly became more and more out of control, and even in the end it was difficult for him to swallow this simple action. Refusing treatment is undoubtedly a chronic suicide for him, but his relatives respect his decision. After all, this is also the wish of the elderly.
In the last few days, Ricardo even began not to eat or drink. Without energy supplement, Gordo became seriously ill on April 30 and finally passed away.
Each has his own needs, and idealism refers to the lamp.
From ancient times to the present, no matter ordinary people or powerful emperors, they all hope that their lives will be long, even not far from Wan Li, and they will spare no expense to get the elixir of life. Although all these actions may be in vain, there are still countless people moving forward wave after wave.
Nowadays, in our life, if someone says he doesn't want to live a long life, we may all look at him with a fool's eye. We need not say more about the beauty of life. Only by living can we appreciate the beauty of the world, feel the worldly desires and live a happy life.
But for Godot, a long life has brought him some pain. Living can no longer make him feel the happiness of living on the earth, but will experience more pain.
Living alone in the vast world, helpless and lonely. It can be seen that what everyone wants is not necessarily good for themselves. Gordo is eager to leave, just like some people choose not to be tempted. In a colorful world, everyone has different pursuits, and only the heart will indicate our final destination.
