Hello, everyone. Welcome to the new issue. I am the headmaster. With the continuous progress of human society, life is getting better and better, and our life span has also increased a lot. At present, the country with the longest life expectancy in the world is Japanese, with an average life expectancy of 83 years, and our average life expectancy in China is 77 years, which is much higher than in previous years.
In life, we often discuss the question of longevity, such as who is the longest-lived person in the world, who is the longest-lived couple and so on. The former has different opinions among netizens. Some people say that it is Li Qingyuan of China who lived for 256 years, but it is difficult to verify the truth because of its age. Some people say that they are Indians, but this has not been confirmed. But the longest-lived couple in the world actually exists. They live in Texas, USA. Together, the couple's age has reached 2 1 1 year, which is twice the average life expectancy of China people. At present, they have been certified by Guinness World Records.
The husband's name is john henderson, age 106, and the wife's name is Charlotte, age 105. They got married on 1939, 12 and 15, and will get married on 19 and 15. It is understood that the two met on campus, Henderson is a campus football player and Charlotte is a college student. When they recalled their previous honeymoon, they clearly remembered that staying in a hotel was only $7 a night.
When they were asked about the secret of longevity, Henderson said it was "the golden mean, treat your spouse with courtesy". These eight simple words not only show the courtesy of the husband to his wife, but also reflect his attitude towards things. The golden mean should be a classic quotation in The Analects of Confucius, but it was skillfully used by this foreigner. Indeed, whether dealing with things or spouses, impartial and eclectic attitude is worth learning.
Finally, the headmaster thinks that we will find a * * * similarity by observing many long-lived elderly people. They are optimistic about life, rich or poor, satisfied with the status quo, and their words are positive. We rarely see long-lived elderly people with negative energy, so we can't say that mentality is the key secret of longevity, but we can't deny that mentality is one of the most important factors affecting life.
