family harmony
An optimistic attitude
They have lived for more than a century, but they are still healthy despite the wind and rain. They are centenarians, they are the "happy babies" of their families, and they are also the objects that many people follow-how do they eat? How to sleep? How to maintain health? ..... On the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, Shenyang Daily, in conjunction with the Municipal Office for the Aged, brought holiday blessings to seven centenarians in the city, and also brought everyone into their lives to explore the secret of their longevity-
Zhang Chuntai, 108 years old
Longevity keywords: cabbage, tofu, running
At 5: 30 in the morning, people who do morning exercises often see a thin old man running slowly in the youth park. "The old man's spirit! It should be seventy or eighty years old? " At this time, an insider will raise his voice and say, "Where, he 108 years old!"
This old man is Zhang Chuntai. Compared with his age, his appearance is quite deceptive-his hair is black, his beard is black, there are only two small age spots on his cheeks, and only when he smiles happily will obvious wrinkles accumulate on his forehead-such a face, no one will think that he is an "old man of the century", and even he can get up early and run every day!
"People are old, this leg can't start. If you let it go east, it will go west, so it is very important to exercise its legs. " Zhang Chuntai explained that running is to prevent leg aging. He put his knees in his hands and let his legs circle half a circle to the left and half a circle to the right to show the reporter. "Today's young people show their legs in cold weather and don't know how to protect them. When they get old, they will know how uncomfortable their legs are. " In order to stay young, Zhang Chuntai runs a distance of one or two kilometers every morning. "When it's time to go out, you must go out, otherwise it will be like doing nothing, even if it rains, you must go out with an umbrella." Of course, there are exceptions, that is, I never go out for running in winter, but only do exercises on the big balcony at home. "The snow is very slippery, and the safety of our elderly is still the most important."
Old people also have requirements for their daily diet. When the reporter asked the old man what he liked to eat, he said, "I have always loved vegetarian food! Cabbage, tofu, powder. " It is these three dishes that the elderly have not eaten enough for most of their lives and eat well. This is called "quantitative eating". This amount means that you only eat seven points full, eat less greasy food and never be greedy. At breakfast, the elderly often improve. "A bowl of soybean milk is good for your health." Old people are also particular about their daily life, which is called the "sleep law": they get up at 5: 30 every morning and go to bed at 9: 00 in the evening.
The old man lives with his third son and daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law told reporters that the old man's body is stronger than his own children. "He has never had any serious illness in his life, and he is not confused when he is old. He can understand everything when he watches TV. "
"I love watching the news now!" The old man Zhang Chuntai immediately took over and took out a Shenyang Daily from behind. He told reporters: "I read in the newspaper that The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held. How well our party led it! I think I should also make some contributions to society, tell everyone my longevity secret, and let everyone live a long and healthy life together! "
Han Jinbao, 10 1 year old
Longevity Keywords: singing Pingju, being in a good mood
Han Jinbao has seven children, most of whom are in business. "When everyone is busy, there is no time to accompany him." The youngest son of the old man told reporters that a few years ago, several brothers sent their father to the Shenhe District Nursing Home in Shenyang, not far from their home. "We told dad to try life first and go home if you are uncomfortable." Who knows, the old man didn't want to go home as soon as he moved in.
"It's so nice here, eating ready-made food and living ready-made, there's nothing to worry about." The old man Han Jinbao said that the most important thing is that someone plays with him. "My son is busy, and I am bored at home alone. There are many old friends here who can play cards when talking and chatting with me. I am in a good mood! "
Han Lao never smokes or drinks all his life, and he has a hobby-singing Pingju. When he is free, he will go to the nearby park to sing with the old people there. "I loved playing when I was young, and now I'm in a better mood!" "How about asking Han Lao to sing a song?" The reporter asked, but I didn't expect Han Lao to wriggle up: with his head down and his hands twisted, he showed a childlike look and said, "I can't sing well!" " "
"Sing a song! Sing a song! " His roommate's two grandfathers also encouraged him to say. "hmm!" The old man bowed his head, thought carefully for a while and said, "Then I'll sing the Peach Blossom Temple!" " "Obviously, he chose his best joke and couldn't stop after he really finished singing. He was completely immersed in his performance, and his intoxicated expression made everyone laugh.
Huang Yuzhen, 10 1 year.
Longevity keywords: good son, thank the party.
When the reporter came to Huang Yuzhen's home, the community cadres of Baoshi Community in Shenhe District and the doctors of Huimin Hospital in Shenyang were doing physical examination for the elderly. "The heart rhythm is normal! Blood pressure is normal! " Hearing that his body was as healthy as before, Huang Yuzhen smiled chrysanthemum on his face: "Thanks to the party!" The old man's sons Zuo Zhongjun and Zuo Junchen in Huang Yuzhen are with his mother. They said that although her mother was a low-income household, she was always satisfied. When she takes her out to bask in the sun every day, she always says, "Thank you for the party and the country." A grateful and contented heart makes the old people live a healthy, happy and worry-free life.
"I like to eat jiaozi best! My son buys me jiaozi to eat every day. He asked me to eat first, and he didn't eat until I finished eating. " The old man smiled and looked satisfied, and the bright red Tang suit reflected a full face of joy. "Even if I can't eat jiaozi once in a while, I also want to tell others that I eat jiaozi. Life is so good now, what is not enough? " In the eyes of the old people, this "jiaozi" represents many things: favorite food, filial piety of sons, and a beautiful life like every New Year.
Li, 102 years old.
Longevity keywords: grapes, green tea, early to bed and early to rise.
The meeting with the old man Li was very tortuous. Every time I call, my family says that the old man has gone out for a walk, three or four times a day, without interruption. Finally, the family said that the lifestyle of the elderly seems to subvert the general theory of longevity. "He likes to eat fat, likes to eat sticky things, likes to smoke cheap cigarettes, and gives him good cigarettes if he doesn't smoke."
Li taught himself that the old man was a little silent and asked the younger generation to speak for him. He just nodded. "He just has a regular life. He starts at 6: 00 in the morning and goes to bed at 8: 30 in the evening without watching TV. Then there is the love of fruit. There are grapes and green tea all year round. " The family showed the reporter the porcelain cup used by the old man to drink water. How can you call a cup? It's just a small jar! "At least two cups a day, and then there is an old man with a good attitude."
Speaking of Li's self-study mentality, the old man finally spoke. He nodded heavily first, and then said, "People should be content and be good all their lives!" " "
Li Zaibai, 104 years old
Longevity keywords: Rubik's cube, self-care, openness
The reporter arrived at Li Zaibai's home early in the morning. Sitting opposite the old man, her hands were tightly held by her. "Son, your hands are too cold. How cold it is! You should put on more clothes! " The old man is a little deaf, so he can't hear what the reporter said. He's just warming his hands for reporters. This kind old man makes people feel infinite warmth.
"My mother has no secret of longevity." Fu Guowei, the son of the old man, said: "She lives like everyone else, getting up at five in the morning and going to bed at eight or nine in the evening; When eating, she eats whatever everyone eats, not picky about food or taking supplements. She never overeats or eats anything that is too hot, too cold or too greasy. Up to now, my mother's appetite is so good that you can't imagine it. Sometimes she can eat more than one bowl of dry rice. "
"What do you usually like to do?" The reporter asked. The old man took out a deck of cards and a Rubik's cube. "Swing the card to break the Rubik's Cube!" "These two things help the old man pass the time while keeping her brain running. Fu Guowei told reporters that everyone in the family remembers when the child should come and when the child has something to do. She even reminded her son in advance.
Li Zaibai is the only centenarian among all the interviewees who is ill and hospitalized. "Don't be afraid if you are sick!" The old man told the experience simply as if the disease had nothing to do with him. Now, despite his advanced age, the old man still insists on washing underwear, mending torn clothes and sometimes sweeping the floor at home. "I am not afraid of anything when I am upright all my life!"
Wang Tongfang, 104 years old
Longevity keywords: kohlrabi, spinach, watching the game.
Wang Tongfang, aged 104, likes watching football matches. Not only football, volleyball, table tennis ... Old people like to watch China's game. She lives with her son and pulls him to watch the game every time. When she saw that the China team won, she smiled and applauded. The son and mother sitting on the side applauded together, and it was as if they had really arrived at the scene.
Wang Tongfang's eyes are actually quite bad, but even if you can't see the shadow, you should keep listening. Why? The old man said, "I'm happy that China won, even if it's just a sound!" "
Generally, after watching TV, the old man should go to bed. At this time, the old man's son is busy: he must burn his feet with hot water; My mother likes sweets. I have to give her hot milk at night, and the milk should be mixed with glucose powder. Wait until the old man wakes up the next morning and prepare some porridge for breakfast. "My mother especially likes to eat turnips and spinach. These two dishes are uninterrupted, and she likes to eat some fat. "
Wang Tongfang was satisfied with his son's filial piety. She said with a little pride, "I have lived under the same roof for five generations." No matter who listens to me, they will listen to what I say! " "
He, 1 13 years old
Longevity keywords: love learning, normal person, good mentality.
"For so many years, someone has been asking my father the secret of longevity. What is the secret? He lives the most ordinary life. " He Chang 'an, the son of He Wen, said that his 1 13-year-old father does not smoke, drink or eat snacks. It is regular to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and go to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening. Get up and go out for exercise. Three meals a day, he eats whatever everyone eats. "To say that longevity is the law of life and a good attitude, and most people can do it."
Two years ago, He, who lives in Shima Road, Tiexi District, always followed many "young people" in their sixties and seventies when he went to the labor park for exercise every morning. These "young people" do what he does.
"Two years ago, my dad couldn't sit well on the edge of the bed and slipped on the ground and broke his leg, but now he still holds a wheelchair and goes out to exercise every day." Chang-an He said it was a pity here.
"My son is filial!" The old man told the reporter with satisfaction, "The daughter-in-law is also filial! I also laid a good daughter-in-law, and it's time to catch up! " The old man took out a photo, looked at himself playing with his granddaughter and said, "isn't this me?" I am in the botanical garden. How nice! I left by myself! "
He Chang 'an said that his father was a farmer when he was young and didn't go to school seriously. When he was old, he gained the motivation to study. "He reads Dr. Sun Yat-sen and shenyang evening news." Chang-an He pointed to the wall, where the old man's comprehensive book newspaper hung. "Read the newspaper two or three times a day and tell us after reading it."
"Grandpa, can you read the newspaper?"
"If you don't understand, you can ask my son. I don't pretend to understand! Just remember it a few more times. I'm not confused at all now. Useful! Plus you don't have to worry about food and clothing, everything is fine. I think I am quite young! "

postscript
The reporter learned from the office of the Shenyang Working Committee on Ageing that there are 180 centenarians in Shenyang at present, who are not only longevity stars who bring happiness to their families, but also a fortune to society. Almost everyone envies their longevity and is curious about their life. But after interviewing seven centenarians, we found that there seems to be no secret about health and longevity.
The families of the seven old people are not rich or expensive, but ordinary families. They all have filial children-this is what every child should do; They are not picky eaters, don't stay up late, and live a regular life-this is the education that everyone has received since kindergarten; They insist on exercising and reading newspapers ... to keep their bodies and brains alive all the time-it's easy to do; They always keep a good attitude, ask themselves to be good people, be grateful, and not be afraid of getting sick-this is a simple truth that everyone knows ... All this together is just the life of ordinary people and a correct attitude towards life. However, it is this "normality" and "correctness" that may be the true meaning of life and the secret of health and longevity!
