Jenna Carment, also translated as Jeanne Louis Carmen, was born on February 21, 1875, a native of Aar, France, and was 14 years old when the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889. Most of his family lived long, with brothers living to the age of 97, fathers 94 and mothers 86. In 1896, she married her wealthy distant cousin, Fernand Calment, and thus lived a comfortable life without work, which was an important reason for her longevity. Her husband died in 1942, four years before their 50th wedding anniversary.
Pictured: She also lived longer than her own daughter Yi Yun: she died in 1934, while her grandson was killed in a motorcycle crash in 1963. She died in a nursing home on August 4, 1997, at the age of 122 and 164 days. She was awarded the title of "World's Oldest Man" by the Guinness Book of World Records. In 1965, at the age of 90, but without heirs, Yana Carmen signed a common agreement in France to sell her independently owned apartment "Longevity" to Francois River lawyers. River, who was 47 at the time, agreed to pay her monthly living expenses until her death.
Pictured: This kind of agreement is sometimes referred to as a "reverse loan", and the price of the apartment at the time of the transaction is equal to 10 years of living expenses. Unfortunately, she lived more than 30 years, but River died of cancer in December 1995 at the age of 77. Her widow must continue to pay her living expenses. In 1985, When Carman moved to a nursing home and became independent until she was 110, she said she met Van Gogh at her father's shop at the age of 14 and described him as "dirty, poorly dressed and difficult to get along with", and she was also rumored to attend Victor Hugo's funeral in 1885.
Pictured: At the age of 114, Calmont made a cameo appearance in the film Vincent et moi and became the oldest actor ever. She also had a smoking addiction and did not quit until she was 117 years old, because she was almost completely blind, but she was ashamed to borrow fires to light cigarettes with others. Carmante was the first to live to be 115 to 122 years old, and the only person to live undisputedly to live past 119. She studied fencing at the age of 85, was able to ride a bicycle at the age of 100, and was able to walk freely until the age of 114.
Pictured: She revealed that the secret recipe for her longevity is olive oil, which she adds to her food in large quantities and rubs it on her skin. She also drank bojiu for a long time. Much different from the general perception of health, she ate two pounds of chocolate a week and smoked for a long time until she was 117 years old and couldn't stop smoking. A French-language documentary about her life, 120 years across with Yana Armand, was released in 1995.
