"Or the current society is good, you look at the current life, eat, wear, live, how good!" None of the dynasties I have experienced have caught up with the good society of the present. Wang Ying, a 101-year-old long-lived grandfather, stood in front of the window on the 20th floor of his home, basking in the sun while looking at the banks of the Shu River where he once lived, and feeling a thousand emotions. The village in which he had raised him, the low, dilapidated bungalows, the muddy dirt roads, and the large vegetable patch he had once reclaimed, were long gone. As far as the eye can see, there are many high-rise buildings, ears listening to the eight directions, and the traffic is busy.
Centenarian Wang Ying Grandpa
The centenarian Wang Ying, born in 1921, is a native of DongguanDong Village, Chengyang Subdistrict, Juxian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province. A few days ago, our "Centenarian Search Group" set off from Rizhao City, traveled west along the tourist avenue, and after more than an hour, came to Juxian County, a thousand-year-old county, and visited this long-lived old man. Higashi Kanto Village, now this village can no longer be found on the map. The former East Village has now been replaced by high-rise buildings. Standing in some unfamiliar streets, people are in a hurry, almost no one knows, and there is a centenarian living on the tall building next to him. Fortunately, we found the phone number of Wang Ying's grandfather and grandson, and soon found the centenarian in the building.
Centenarian Wang Ying is introducing his past
"It's been almost 40 years since I married here, and he's been carrying a pot of hot water and carrying a few pancakes to the market to sell vegetables. Rushing to Lingyang Set, Shop Sub Set, and Niuzhuang Set (峤山), how far away, now we are not willing to go by car, he has been walking to catch the market and sell vegetables for a long time. "The person who opened the door for us was Liu Defen, the daughter-in-law of the centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, who is 72 years old this year, and she told us that the old man has loved to work all his life, and from a young age, he likes to plant vegetable gardens, rush to sell vegetables, and when he is more than eighty years old, he still goes to the market, and he has to work for forty or fifty years just to sell vegetables.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather sat on the sofa
"Love to eat, eat anything, vegetables, eggs, beef, lamb are willing to eat." Now a meal also has to eat a big steamed bun, plus a large bowl of dishes, this old man is good to serve, not picky at all. Liu Defen introduced that the old man has no special place in eating habits, eating three meals a day, more regular, not picky eating, what to do the meal the old man eats, and the amount of food is large, now eating can also top a big male laborer, sometimes the son can not eat him. Being able to eat is a blessing, indicating that the spleen and stomach of the elderly are good, the functions of the body are good, and the food eaten into the stomach can be digested, which may also be one of the reasons for the longevity of the elderly.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather and daughter-in-law Liu Defen chatted
Liu Defen, the daughter-in-law of centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, said the move to the new community was in September of last year's lunar calendar. Before this, the old man had been living alone in an old house in the village, living on his own, basically not needing to be taken care of. Because I used to live in a bungalow, the old man would move around in the yard when he was fine, and sometimes he liked to go shopping and walk around. Since the relocation to the new building, the elderly need to go up and down the stairs when they go out, it is not as convenient as in the bungalow, although there is also an elevator, but when going out, you need someone to accompany you. When the weather is good, the old man's children will accompany him downstairs to walk around and see the scenery of the new city.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather introduced his life
"He has two daughters, and the eldest daughter is 80 years old this year and is in good health." The second daughter was 74 years old. The youngest in my family, I am 70 years old this year. Liu Defen said that the children of the old man are very filial and very good to the old man. Grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, and granddaughters are also very filial and often buy some delicious food to visit the elderly. Especially on holidays, the whole family, men, women and children gather in front of centenarians, this is called Grandpa, Grandpa, that is called Grandpa, children laugh, adults are happy, happy and harmonious, family harmony, happy and happy.
Centenarian Wang Ying's hands have endured vicissitudes
"My family's (wife) is in her 80s, I have no wife since I was 9 years old, and I live to be 87 years old." Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather said that he had learned to hoe the land and do farm work since he was 8 years old. After his mother's death, because there was no land to plant in the family, he went to the landlord's house to herd cattle, and while herding cattle, he learned to hoe and cultivate the land. When he was 13 years old, he could do the work of an adult, follow the foreman to hoe the ground, because the strength is still small, the adult hoe three ditches a day, he will hoe two ditches, and when he is 18 years old, he will top an adult. Recalling the experience of his youth, the old man still remembers it vividly, saying that at that time, he did not eat well, drink badly, dress badly, and had to work hard for the landlord, but he was guilty.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather introduced the scene of hitting the reservoir
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, now in addition to the ear is a little back, the left eye can not see things clearly, there is no major problem in the body, clear thinking, memory is also good, usually not confused at all. He recalled that when he was 16 years old, the devils came. As soon as the devils came, they beat people everywhere, smashed things, grabbed grain, as long as they heard the sound of horseshoes, they knew that the devils were coming, and at this time they had to run fast, find a hidden place to hide, and sometimes they didn't dare to go home at night. If you don't run, let the devil catch it, in addition to being beaten, you have to let your family take money or food to redeem it.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather was upstairs
"My life before was not good, and my days were not settled. I thought that when I was not old, I had no food to eat, and I followed the adults to ask for food. The centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather introduced that at that time, there was no eating, no drinking, eating millet, millet, and millet. There was no more to eat, so they ate leaves, ate peanut peels, ate sweet potato seedlings, and ate millet straw, and these things are now no longer eaten by livestock. Now that life is good, life is stable, eating white noodles, eating meat and fish, and eating whatever you want. Now such a good life, a good day, at that time, I did not dare to think about it.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather introduced himself to the master branch
"I have been out of the master to push millet earlier (before, early), also went to Huaihai, also went to Zaozhuang, and I also went to the reservoir, and worked for three years." I went to shahekou and Qingfengling, and worked until I repaired it. Wang Ying, a hundred-year-old grandfather, recalled that at that time, the conditions for repairing the reservoir were not good, and they were all carried out by hand basket by basket. At that time, there was a class of twelve people, and each class had only one wheelbarrow, and two people carried a basket, and the soil at the bottom of the warehouse was carried out basket by basket, and some also used flat burdens to pick up the soil outside. At that time, as soon as there was no life in the field in winter, he began to produce the reservoir of the master.
Liu Defen, the daughter-in-law of centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, sorted out clothes for the elderly
The centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, when he was young, made so much effort and suffered so much, he was still very content and did not complain. According to the old man's son Wang Yiliang, it is said that people contribute a lot, can not live much age, the father from a young age to make a strong effort, to the later and then planted land, vegetables, sell vegetables, has not been idle, out of a lot of strength, the body has been good, now so old, there is no leg pain, waist pain and other problems, there is no "three high", the body indicators are relatively normal.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather sat with the younger children
"I have a big sister, a younger brother, and he is the second oldest. My aunt and uncle lived to be seventy or eighty years old. Wang Yiliang, the son of centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, said that to say that the reason for his father's longevity has three characteristics in his opinion. One is that he can eat, and eat everything, nutritionally balanced, and now he can't catch up with his father when he eats. The second is that he has a good temper and does not know how to be angry, since he can remember, he has never seen his father lose his temper and get angry with others. Even if you are angry, you will disappear after a while. The third is not to consider things, generally do not worry, there is no worry. My father never went to compare himself with others, his mentality was better, how much money people earned, what house they lived in, what car they drove, what meals they ate, what clothes they wore, etc., these were all things that made people easily annoyed, and he never cared.
Wang Yiliang, the son of the centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, introduced his father's daily life
Wang Yiliang also introduced that since his father went from dividing the fields to the households to practice single work, he began to grow vegetables and sell vegetables until he was more than eighty years old. In the low-profit industry of selling vegetables, there are not many people who have been working for decades. From this point of view alone, the old man is a person with a relatively pure heart and a peaceful self- Green vegetables that have been sold for forty or fifty years must be a benchmark of integrity in the industry. You think, if he was deceived and lacked two pounds, would he be able to do it for so long? If his mind is not quiet, and he does not make much money, can he work for such a long time? From this point of view, the old man does not have too much selfish desire, that is to say, what he pursues in this life is not wealth, not status, nor fame and fortune, but keeping a simple and unpretentious heart, simple, happy and happy to live a lifetime.
Wang Yiliang introduced the daily life of his hundred-year-old father
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather, there is no special habit in diet, but the elderly also like to eat sweets, eat more sugar, drink water, drink porridge will put a little. The old man used to smoke and drink alcohol. In his eighties, he accidentally let a stone in the river scratch his leg while crossing the river, and has since quit smoking and drinking. Now, the old people eat eggs, sugar, steamed buns, green vegetables, and meat every day. The way to eat eggs is to use boiling water in the morning to wash the plumeria, and some places are also called layer chicken tea, and brew a few biscuits or peach crisps. The way to eat white sugar is to soak in water or put some when drinking porridge.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather was active in the house
"My father also divided a building, 120 square meters, which is as big as the one I live in now." Wang Yiliang introduced that before the village was demolished, the couple raised pigs in the bungalow. Now that the village is demolished, several villages are concentrated in a new community to live, all buildings, no pig breeding, no land to plant, he was arranged to work in the community, do some odd jobs, from "farmer" to "citizen", to the end of the month to receive wages.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather rested on the sofa
"I remember, my big body has always been very good, usually not cold, now older, that is, the skin is sometimes itchy, but take some medicine to eat it." 」 Wang Yiliang said that in his impression, his father would not scold people all his life, nor would he fight with others, nor would he compete with others, nor would he have a red face with others, and his personality was relatively easy-going. In his words, it is "no hurry, no smoke", and when encountering things, the heart is quieter and can calm down.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather introduced his past
Originally, we came to ask my hundred-year-old grandfather for the secret of longevity, but we and my grandfather's family summarized and analyzed for more than an hour, and we did not find a specific method. But from the hundred-year-old grandfather's own narrative, we found that the grandfather's heart is really calm, for a set of more than 120 square meters of buildings, he did not mention, just said that the current society is good, the current life is good, the current life is good. And he has no complaints about the miserable life of the past. As for what is fame, wealth, status and other external things, he did not mention a word.
Centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather said about his past life
In the process of communicating with the centenarian's son Wang Yiliang, we found that he said a detail, that is, the old man never got angry and did not think about things. So let's talk about not getting angry. The Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Shuyi said in "He Groom, Using Former Rhymes and Re-Endowment": "Sighing life, unsatisfactory things, ten often eight nine." This means that in life, there will be nine of the ten things that are not satisfactory, and only one is satisfactory, in fact, this is also the norm of life. A normal person, when encountering troubles and not getting angry, it is almost impossible, unless he is born with the ability to resolve troubles, and perhaps the centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather has such an ability. Otherwise, how could he live so long?
The community where centenarian Wang Ying's grandfather lives
I remember that a Chinese medicine expert said that in addition to accidental injuries and the influence of the natural environment, 70% of the causes of diseases in people are related to people's mood. From this point of view, the reason for the longevity of the hundred-year-old grandfather Wang Ying is easy to understand. He does not get angry all his life, does not lose his temper, he is content with the moment, never complains, does not compare with others, does not consider gains and losses, is at ease with the situation, optimistic to face life, he can resolve external worries, be kind with people, do not argue, do not rob. His heart is extremely calm, the body's qi and blood will be smooth, the qi and blood will be smooth, the body will operate normally, there will be no major problems, so he will live a long life. This may be the secret of his longevity.
